Absolute massive take over in the balance as we speak.
Huge interest from a Russia oligarch that wants in on the EPL. Apparently he he is a friend of RA at Chelsea and wants in, the only problem is that he has to serve 2 more months in jail then hes free.
This is from a really good source in Russia.
Blue Banjo. {Ed025's Note - i think one of the strings on your banjo is missing..

It all sounded so good until the part about him being released from jail! Surely he would have more important things to do on his release than spend millions in a foreign country!

Keep smoking the magic mud mate!

That's the definition of fit and proper!

Done a bit of research ed and this could be the person he is talking about. Thing is he declared bankrupt a few years ago, at least kenwright doesn't stump that low.

Gave me a right good laugh anyway

Oligarch means business magnet!

Mikhail khordorkovsky or something like that. Was jailed due to issues with putin. They reckon that he was fitted up. Was 16th on forbes rich list in 2004. Owned yuko oil. Putins political opposition wants him freed. Could this be the person are poster in on about? {Ed025's Note - it might be the millionaire russian snooker player...inoff the red

Methinks its a red Russian

If hes in jail he wont pass the prems fit and proper test to take over a club

I think this is the guy Blue Banjo is talking about: wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikhail_Khodorkovsky

He is in prison because Putin doesn't like him, and it is believed that he was framed for this after criticising Putin and then openly supporting an opposition political party.

Smirnoff Blue as next shirt sponsor anyone?

Moyes frustrates me sometimes! Why when with have the likes of Barkley, gueye and Denis on the bench does he start with McFadden? It's crazy! McFadden shouldn't even be on the bench! Watch him score today now!

To tune of five times it was over the line always big dicisions go for big clubs never small clubs it was over the line

Yep decisions never go for the small clubs you're spot on there, you're not a big club if you finish 8th, 7th and above is where it's at....:-)

It wasn't over the line
Bobcat

Why do fans of the RS always come on here? A goal wasn't given - it wasn't over the line. Get over it Losers

If Chelsea beat Bayern at the Allianz now europe will be ours so I hate to say it but come on Chelsea {Ed025's Note - it wont pal

If chelsea win then whoever finishes 4th place in prem drops out of champs league and goes in to Europa cup! {Ed025's Note - i think your wrong mate

If chelsea win the champions league then fourth place drops down a place in terms of european qualification, the rule came in after the us finishing fourth the s**te finishing 5th situation, but because chelsea won the fa cup if they then win the champions league it frees up a europa league spot as the s**te were runners up so should get it through that but already won the league cup, so 7th then qualifys for europa, only difference is this season no team from england gets in through fair play due to us being only 4th in european standings, you have to be top 3, germany, spain, italy

cmr

This salsa what ive heard, if a prem team wins champs league then there's only 3 places left for grabs

J0hn80y

You're right, Chelsea go into Champions League if they win it, 4th and 5th would become Europa league spots. There's 4 champs league, 3 Europa League spots to be had...

Champs Lge: Man Utd, Man C, Arsenal and one from Chelsea, Newcastle, Spurs

Europa League: Liverpool and two from Chelsea, Newcastle or Spurs.

Everton will not be in Europe next year it pains me to say.

Think that's all right there, apologies if not! {Ed025's Note - i agree mate

I was under the impression 4th became the 3rd europa spot if chelsea win champions league? but because then chelsea are in champions league like normal the runner up in fa cup if not already in europa gets the place but because they won carling cup it goes to 7th?

I'm probably gonna get dogs abuse here but with the current squad size, I really don't think we can do with all the games being in Europe's second competition has to offer. I honestly think the RS will struggle in the PL again next season, having to balance PL games against the Europa League in it's current guise - there's just too many games. I'd sooner concentrate on getting a couple of good quality signings in early then giving 4th place a good go. Hopefully some investment will materialise by then and we can kick on. BlueTone {Ed025's Note - i think your right tone...them thursday games mess up your season..

We get Europe if Chelsea win {Ed025's Note - no we dont mate!

CHELSEA WIN UCL AND FA CUP FINALS
Chelsea qualify for the Champions League, with their FA Cup Europa League place going to the highest-placed Barclays Premier League team which has not already qualified for Europe. Liverpool qualify for the Europa League through winning the Carling Cup and the Champions League places will be decided as outlined above , hope this clears up about if we get to europe or not

Dont think we are ready for europe yet.few more players yes. only thing i would like to see is us beating newcasle on sunday.and a great start to nx season. {Ed025's Note - your right..to be successful in europe, we would need a bigger squad..
