I agree, but, as yet, I don’t have time travel, so, cannot suggest retrospective sanctions.

Boldon is so far behind the rest of the UK that Abramovich probably hasn't taken over Chelsea for the folks living there

As I said, I am not a football “fan”, so, I wouldn’t know.

It's easy to turn a blind eye when there bunging you money.He bought Chelsea in 2003/2004 ? When Labour let him buy it.
Another oligarch Oleg Deripaska who Mandelson and Osborne partied with aboard a yacht in 2008 was sanctioned yesterday.It goes way back.Russian money has been swilling around us for quite a while.Its no big shock.

Oh he was dodgy before. I mean he was the guy who recommended to Yeltsin that Putin be his successor. The conservatives were quite happy to get Russian money into London and accept some donations along the journey, but now that Russia has declared war, the problems come forth.

Yep let's pretend it's all about racism, while in reality the Ukraine war is more about facing Russia because if we don't we have to sooner or later and these other wars how terrible they are, have each their own story but it doesn't include an crazy dictator with nuclear weapons who is actively using those to try and keep the Nato out of the war.
But yes sports have pulled open the can of worms of getting politically involved, so than the question why the one war is more important then the other is relevant, the discussion about whether or not it is because of ''brown poeple'' isn't becasue thre nothing to suggest that is the case.

We used to stink of hypocrisy but it was privatised and is now owned a consortium of circle 4 demons. Four cabinet members are advisors to that consortium.

Agreed, Saudi is not a suitable owner of Newcastle FC, or, any other UK football club. But, does that mean we should countenance Chelsea’s owner?

No, but it does mean that we really ought to be considering not doing business with despots of all stripes...
