Fair enough, respect your opinion. Its quite exciting to see how this develops from an outside point of view - wouldnt enjoy being a fan right now.

I think Chelsea have more chance than City at being able to sustain under different owners (current situation aside) - but probably due to the fact they are now multiple CL winners. I imagine as a billionaire, that makes the club more desireable than one which doesnt? That and just sheer snobbery of the fact they're the biggest club in London.

Forest won the champs league twice but there not chased by billionaires. The situation for Chelsea is indeed grave. And It is only in its infancy.
Also Chelsea were/ are owned by one person. City are not.

Are they under the belief that Chelsea is actually in Russia??

Doesn't matter where they are. The whole point of sponsoring a team is to promote your brand. If they feel promoting their branded would be damaged simply by association with Abramovich now he has been sanctioned, they may feel justified to pull out of the deal. They may also predict darker times ahead for the club itself, and it is worth getting out asap

Sat on top of the roller coaster at the moment. Been at the bottom before and am under no illusions one day Al be back there. But at the moment I and neutrals are seeing football played in sky blue shirt that i never thought I would see. Well “ not in my lifetime”. For the educated, that was a phrase used by Sir Fergie re City. Even he should of realised the power of football changes. However you dress it up. City, Liverpool and Chelsea are at the top. 10 years ago different , 10 years before different etc etc.

The sceptic in me believes that they have promised to produce more oil to make it cheaper for me to go to the games. For every other fan it’s just a Brucie bonus they have helped to get cheaper diesel ??

True - they are owned by a state that is currently waging a war against Yemen and been plenty of reports of war crimes against UAE and Saudi
 
Let's face it, any club that is owned by multi millionaires or billionaires are not exactly going to be all above board in their business dealings and how they acquired their wealth.

Even the used car salesmen owners/Chairmen of the 70s and 80s weren't squeaky clean!!! :ROFLMAO:
