Also, Burnley beat Bolton away today, and will meet us at the Wham in the semi-finals of the Lancashire Senior Cup. The other tie is Liverpool v Blackpool:

And we think we've had problems dominating games & failing to win.
Check out these logic defying stats from tonight's Bolton v Morecambe game.
Despite Bolton's complete dominance, the Shrimps were 1-0 up & out of the relegation zone - until a cruel 94th minute equaliser!

Chelsea are given special permission to continue playing but are barred from selling home and away tickets only season ticket holders allowed in club shop shut and Abravomich barred from selling club as he is sanctioned, if they fall into administration they will get the necessary point,s punishment.

As if one of the richest men in the world would let that happen.
He'll top up the lost revenue from ticket sales and shop sales out of his pocket (spending money).
Wages all paid.
He's already said that he wouldn't profit personally from the sale and any profit made would go straight to Ukranian relief charities.
His issue will be the transfer embargo in and out.
All depends how long this humanitarian disaster goes on for.

BBC this afternoon.

"The UK government is open to considering a further addition to the special licence to allow a sale to proceed"

Don't pretend to know the ins and outs but has he is sanctioned any "sale " agreed while he is means he wouldn't make a penny profit it's a unique scenario and a strange one and apparently season ticket holders can't buy future cup game tickets so potential home games could be empty stadium,s. Also he isn't allowed to put anymore money in wage bill currently approximately £28 million a month I think so it's difficult but someone could get a bargain buy.

Call me hard- hearted but, given what’s happening elsewhere, I’m really struggling to have any concern for the ‘troubles’ of Abramovich or Chelsea FC.

Of course you're absolutely right but I don't think there's any "concern" for his "troubles"
Andy simply highlighting the issue from a football perspective.
The "haves" will prevail.
Before any money runs out the sale will be agreed and everyone will move on - footballing wise that is.

Chelsea,s main shirt sponsor suspends it's £40 million a year contract immediately others expected to follow suit.

Let the sale go through get the funds paid into an Escrow Account.
Government can then drip feed funds into the club subject to audit.
No way a club the size of Chelsea will fail on the end of this.
Starve Abramovich of any proceeds.

Chelsea fans reportedly chanting Abrovenich,s name at Norwich last night thick and don't realise what role this mafia type bloke has had in the Putin regime. Government for once IMHO doing something right hope he ends up on his ass, Chelsea will be sold just has long as he doesn't make another halfpenny from them, will they be propped up as before financially doubt it but to me that's a good thing for football in general far to many reliant on " generous " owners.
