Thread: Chelsea sponsors are off

  1. #1

    Chelsea sponsors are off

    Chelsea's shirt sponsor Three SUSPENDS their £40M deal after the UK government sanctioned Roman Abramovich - and analysts warn Nike, Hyundai and Hublot could ALSO ditch the Blues to avoid 'guilt by association'

    Why now , why not before the government took action on Roman ??

    Seems a bit drastic. How far do you take that sort of thing?

    Who cares about the timing? The more sanctions put on anything that smells Russian, is all good with me.

    The government have been courting these people for years and they have been funding their campaigns. Inaction against Russians now would just amplify it.

    Putin stated a fortnight ago that any sanctions imposed deemed too extreme would be viewed as an act of war. Perhaps he was bluffing.

    The UK government appears to think so.

    Leekes of Llantrisant are standing by with their leftover iron-on badges from 20 years ago, ready to pick up any unsold replica shirts.🙂

    They've never played it when I was there, but it's a crap bar anyway.

    IIRC the ruskies banned this years ago, so maybe Ukraine should play it over loudspeakers directed at invaders.
