Despite what people think, Roman isn't in for the short term, so he'll be playing championship manager with us for a while to come with any luck ;)
That's what I hear too ;)

That's what he tells me ;)

Also looks like he's played the game well politically and is relatively secure on that front :?:

I also believe he's now got most of his interests out of reach of the State should they wish to try another 'Yukos' but I'd be interested on your take on all these matters, Morbyd, as you are clearly very well informed 8)

Its interesting how he is perceived here in the UK. There was a lot of press a few weeks ago about a dispute one of his companies has with the EBRD and there seemed to be a clear inference that the story backed up peoples view of him as a mafia type figure, quite unfairly I thought.

I think there's always that underlying feeling in the UK, because people don't realize that the Russian mafia is not a serious part of big business (damn Hollywood films!). He's never been connected with the mafia.

As for the EBRD, they've been playing up this story to try and pressure him into repaying this debt. The reality is, his company repaid that debt to another bank in 1998, but the other banks involved duped the EBRD into taking the loan obligation as repayment for money they owed. The EBRD can't go after those banks, because they're bankrupt (victims of 1998 economic crisis), so they go after him through the press and courts.

In the UK, they assume the Russian must be at fault because the EBRD is Western and smart and plays fair. But that impression is very wrong.

Well, his biggest asset is Sibneft, the oil company, which is still in Russia, but it hasn't had the same problems as Yukos. I think he'll be just fine.
 
I will also throw my name onto the back of the Chelsea bandwagon, only managed to go twice so far this season though.
Got to love those heaters in the corporate seats ;)

I sit Matthew Harding Lower, Block 15, which is left of the goal towards the away fans - very good for a bit of banter but alas, the heaters haven't reached us yet :(

Morbyd, very interesting points you raise there and I agree totally about the EDRD.

One thing we do like to do at Chelsea is employ people who can spell, sadly you might trip at the first hurdle my friend.

I honestly don't know how I sleep at night having fuelled such an evil man's empire.

Anyway, I must go I've got some Albanians to interview for housing grants and a Nigerian who's having some problems filling out his incapacity benefit forms. His english isn't too good.
