Abramovich sanctioned by UK.

Because at that time Mellor was probably a Fulham fan

Passed over me, flour. Mellor to Sarah Montague, yesterday Radio 4: "I was very close to Ken Bates and at the time advised him a sale to A was in the best interests of the club."

It's going to be odd if Chelsea get into a final and can't sell any tickets to fans

[GlennMiller]

Mellor was probably too distracted sucking toes when the sale went through!

Yesterday they thought they could afford Declan Rice.
Today they can't afford
Special fried rice.😁

If Chelsea fans keep chanting his name I would hope TV companies refuse to screen their games. Personally I would make them play behind closed doors. Had to laugh at David Mellor yesterday; sanction Putin but not Chelsea he said. When Montague asked why he'd supported his takeover in the first place he said nobody knew of his ties to the regime. "Oh, yes, they did," she said. "I didn't" says DM. How could he? Only an MP until 1997 and minister until 1992. Had responsibility for Soviet Union at FO under Thatcher but didn't know of A's links to Yeltzhin, his role as governor of Russian province or that he personally recommended ex-KGB man Putin to be appointed Yeltzhin's successor. Haha.

Yep, free speech and free expression went down the plug hole years ago in the U.K.

Even though the alternative views might be abhorrent

Now it’s sing the party song, just like Russia

Yawn. Btw, I've let you have the last word on oxygen. All your hours poring over Wiki deserve something after all.

Why stop with Russia, club's owned by Chinese and Arabians are not exactly clean are they.
