I very much doubt they will let Chelsea fail. Someone will get them on the cheap but I am not sure of the legalities. Possibly if Chelsea is sold then that money will be frozen until Roman is cleared.

Sorry to state the bleedin' obvious, but it's all getting a tad pathetic isn't it?
Maybe time for a German style top flight club in the UK. My mate (season ticket holder) just told me a few of the old guard are looking into how we the fans can buy the club.
It seems a lot of Mr. Candy's early investments were bankrolled by dirty russian money from some oligarch or other.
I wonder who that was?
Billionaires interested in buying Chelsea Football Club have been told to approach the British government with potential takeover proposals, after the sanctioning of its current oligarch owner, Roman Abramovich.
Fearing the threat of sanctions, Abramovich, 55, had been rushing to sell the club for more than Ł3bn, drawing interest from the British property magnate Nick Candy, the Swiss billionaire Hansjörg Wyss, the US private equity billionaire and Crystal Palace shareholder Josh Harris, and the American part-owner of the LA Dodgers Todd Boehly.
However, the government on Thursday froze Abramovich’s UK assets, including Chelsea FC and a portfolio of luxury properties including a Ł150m mansion yards from Kensington Palace, west London, and a Ł30m three-storey penthouse overlooking Stamford Bridge.
Abramovich was one of seven Russians with close links to Vladimir Putin that the British government added to the sanctions list in a move designed to dramatically increase pressure on the Kremlin over its invasion of Ukraine.
“The blood of the Ukrainian people is on their hands,” Liz Truss, the British foreign secretary, said. “They should hang their heads in shame.”
Potential Chelsea buyers told they can approach British government with takeover proposals
Three, the British telecoms company that is the team’s principal shirt sponsor, last night suspended its Ł40m-a-year partnership with the club.
If he cared about the club and fans then he should have given it away when he had the chance for a token gesture of a Ł1.
You need to start chatting to the Saudis for your Oil and other ME nations for your Gas as you need to ween yourselves off Putin's teet.
Aren't we the biggest oil producer in the EU ?
Yeh, apparently Biden is even trying to become all pally with Venezuela now, because oil. US foreign policy is a train wreck.
He is Jewish and escaped Russian anti-semitism with his parents when he was six . . . your point? That he escaped Russia? Well done.
You mean killing thousands of civilians and bombing hospitals and maternity wards? Yes, that's a 'tad pathetic'.
It really is the best way to go . . . fans and team are much closer
Well shalom. So is Zelensky, so is Roman Abramovich, so is the largest foreign funder of Azov Battalion (and Zelensky's illegal foreign slush fund see the Pandora papers), so was Marx, so was Trotsky- and so was Milton Friedman. So was Jack the Ripper, and so is Noam Chomsky. When you pull out these pathetic canards, it merely exposes the paucity of your argument. Hava Nagilah, , and 'ava bacon sarnie.He is Jewish
The Jewish card Mikey, d'uhhh. Have a pint son.
Drawing conclusions was never his forté, more of a Backspit 'throw shit on the wall and hope it sticks' kind of guy . . .
"Russia invades Ukraine, bombs hospitals and Maternity wards"
Sabang: "The co-founder of Google is a Jewish refugee whose parents fled Russian persecution - how can Russia be wrong?"
^^ No, pathologist types sadly beat me to it. Being Jewish (or not) is not relevant PH- aren't you aware you are being sublimally racist here? No dated stereotypes please.
Back on track!

So who'd have thought it.
Roman was best mates with Putin all along.
