Should chelski be deducted points? How can they chant RA name and get away with it I think it’s disgusting,if we sang certain songs we would be punished as a club. All clubs should ban Chelsea supporters from their grounds until they learn and respect Ukrainians are being slaughtered funded by people like RA.

No. What have they done wrong? They have/had an owner that the PL allowed for nearly 20 years so what’s wrong? The PL were happy I’m not aware they broke any football rules so I’m not sure on what basis they’d be fined or lose points. That I believe it’s obscene the fact they have a monthly wage bill of £28m is wrong but lots of others do it in the PL. There’s a real negative reaction atm over Ukraine but it won’t get them a points deduction.
UTG!

You can’t tell me the board etc don’t know what RA association with putin was and probably received payments to keep quiet. yeah and probably the FA got questions to answer.
BTW are you a Chelsea fan?

The FA are the ones who should be disciplined for allowing a sport to be taken over by rich despots and international fraudsters. It hasn't been a sport for decades - it's a place for money laundering and rogue states to whitewash atrocities that occur in the owner's homeland. The government also has accountability for allowing such individuals the right to trade in this country. Perhaps, as supporters, we have a right to ask all our chairmen/chairwomen where the money is coming from before we decide whether to celebrate in the club's achievements. Dirty money only makes false achievements.

BTW are you a Chelsea fan? No, not a Chelsea fan, but my son is. So what? Are you a Man City, Liverpool, spurs, Arsenal fan? As you are so concerned, what about clubs owned by Arabs from countries where people are routinely tortured? Our own owner is Jordanian. His King is cosying up to Assad of Syria whose record on torture is appalling. Do we by some convoluted thinking censure Wael? (and I do not condone Chelsea fans singing about RA, but like a lot of football fans they probably haven't got much, well, let's be polite, political awareness.)

Latest Breaking News From The BBC:
Chelsea want Saturday's FA Cup quarter-final against Middlesbrough to be played behind closed doors "for matters of sporting integrity"
The government issued a special licence to allow Chelsea to continue playing after freezing the assets of owner Roman Abramovich.
Under the terms of the licence, the club cannot sell tickets for matches.
The measure was introduced to stop Russian Abramovich, who is looking to sell the club after being sanctioned by the UK government and banned from being a director, from profiting.

How about Newcastle then, their fans were flying a Saudi flag hours after 81 people had been executed there.
The Premier League/FA are the people who are answerable for allowing these types to become owners of English clubs.

BTW are you a Chelsea fan? Of course I’m not a Chelsea fan, don’t be silly. Just because I don’t think they should get points deducted doesn’t make me that. On what basis do you think they should have points deducted? Serious question. The PL maybe do have questions to answer....from a lot of clubs probably. But not sure the FA do on this particular point. And just because I don’t like something that another club is associated with doesn’t mean I think they should have points deducted. Of course the Chelsea board will probably have questions to answer. Much like the boards of Manchester City, Newcastle and others. Not just Chelsea. UTG!

I hope the FA tell them to go away! Stupid idea and what a sense of entitlement Chelsea or anyone else who tried to arrange such a thing must have to even think it. Blimey! “Sporting integrity” ? What on earth would Chelsea (or other members of the top 6/7 of PL clubs) know about sporting integrity? UTG!

Agree, Whoever thinks of these things must be vying for a place at Lord Sugar's table, they do not think of the bigger picture. There is not a lot of 'Sporting Integrity' at the top of the tree in football these days, not when there are Billions at stake.

Chelsea have withdrawn a request for Saturday's FA Cup tie at Middlesbrough to be played behind closed doors, the Football Association says.
The Premier League side are not allowed to sell tickets for any matches after the government froze the assets of Russian owner Roman Abramovich.
Chelsea initially made the request "for matters of sporting integrity".
"After constructive talks between the FA and Chelsea, the club has agreed to remove their request," the FA said.
"The FA remains in ongoing discussions with Chelsea, the Premier League and the government to find a solution that would enable both Chelsea fans to attend games and away fans to attend Stamford Bridge, while ensuring sanctions are respected."
Chelsea said it was "grateful for the FA's continuing efforts to help us find a solution".

There is not a lot of 'Sporting Integrity' at the top of the tree in football these days, not when there are Billions at stake. These ‘leading bodies’ of big sports clubs, or big organisations are completely out of touch. We’ve seen so many climb downs in the last few months. Now Chelsea have withdrawn their request that can be added to FIFAs climbdown over the Russia World Cup match, the Para Olympic climbdown over Russian participation in the event. I used to think these bodies were run by people who knew what they were doing. No longer, these events have shown them up as completely unaware of public feelings over what are public sports and has shown their incompetence to lead their organisations. In these turbulent times I think they should talk a bit less and think a bit more before making public utterances! I suspect that Bruce Buck, the Chelsea chairman will be gone in a month or so, certainly within the year. UTG!

Its pretty nauseating to see the mainstream media fawning over Tuchel for his leadership during difficult times. When he took the job, presumably he knew that he was being paid in blood money?
The same with the Chelsea players and the estate agents, bankers and politicians who made London such a comfortable place for Russian oligarchs and their stolen wealth.
What beggars belief is that, after the rules were changed to enable them to continue operating, Chelsea then tried to have Middlesbrough fans evicted from the forthcoming cup game.
The sheer entitlement and arrogance of this club is just nauseating. Forget deducting points, kick them out of the league and preferably football more generally.

It isn't just Chelsea though, there are other clubs with less than desirable owners. Football needs cleaning up in a big way.

Agreed, but Chelsea were also the original 'leaders' in the development of this model of football club ownership. Man City and Newcastle have followed in their wake. This is a point that Arsene Wenger made. The sheer lack of repentance that Chelsea have shown also merits a particularly strong response. Bury were allowed to fold, while Chelsea have the rules changed so that they can continue to operate? And it isn't just football. Various industries in London have got very rich off of servicing this oligarchic class. The city of London, often hailed as a driver and symbol of our economic 'success', is in reality a financial cesspit that enables crooks and vultures from across the world to 'service' their financial needs. Our (political and financial) establishment revere and respect money, regardless of where it comes from.

I don`t want any morally suspect incomings paid into my pension when I retire, so I took it all out in cash, and stuck the lot into Raytheon UK.
