Chelsea allowed to sell tickets, panic over

I'm panicking, could really do with it moving to the Sunday.

Cheap London Euston train tickets just released today for May 7th. Bit of a gamble.

Well what a surprise. They will allow it and then freeze it like all his other UK assets. He will be allowed to quietly slink away with it once all this is over, mark my words. Net result: 1.6 billion less for the good causes.

News this morning that Chelsea are about to be sold to that consortium of Yanks. Very bad news. The more of those ****ers that end up owning PL clubs the worse for everybody. It'll be a no relegation closed shop before you know it, with mini breaks for the TV adverts every 15 minutes.

Sounds very dramatic but I do think they’ll push for no relegation. If that happens let them go and the remaining teams can form a competitive league. No relegation removes half of the reason for competing and such a league would soon wither on the vine.

Not sure they would get away with that but I can see them reducing it to two places or maybe even one.

If they want to protect their investment and have the requisite majority they can do what they want.

Not entirely true. National legislation and FIFA/UEFA/FA rules are other factors.

But money talks. UEFA already want to davour big teams with some coefficient *******s so I doubt they’d give a hoot! Teams would walk away from FA if it stood in the way as they’d gave no need for them.

 

[Timberwolf]

£4.25bn…? How the **** do they make those sums work?

Ever heard of the Government regulator plans and more money to go down the leagues. I wish them luck trying to challenge HMG....

Oh, and a team or their players can't be in UEFA/FIFA competitions without being affiliated to the FA.

Those coefficient plans are expected to be announced as dropped on Tuesday.

There will be plenty of hurdles but as I said before money talks. Hopefully never gets to the point where enough owners think relegation should be stopped but it wouldn’t surprise me if we do a few years down the line.

I wouldn't be surprised if some clowns tried. I wouldn't bet on them succeeding.

I wonder if their new owner will be able to use his billions on buying them some fans who sing.

This is due to sanctions on ticket sales beyond already sold season tickets

I didn’t know that. How come they can sell away tickets but not home tickets?

Come on Dave, wakey wakey mate -

We were talking about exactly that with the Chelsea guy in the pub.

Only ST holders can attend along with away fans.
