Could be read as saying ‘he has them on a life support system’ i.e. they owe him buckets, but as long as he doesn’t call it in …
 
If his assets are seized they don't include Chelsea FC is presumably the point of this.

How a charity can run a football club is another issue and one that the charity commission may have a view on.
 
Quelled surprise. Horrible club and horrible fans bankrolled with blood money for years. Hope they go bankrupt.

He has put £1.5 billion into Chelsea in a loan

Imagine being able to write off a loan of that size!

You don’t become a multi-billionaire in the former Soviet Union without doing some horrific things. It is Putin’s war but it’s too late for people like this to distance themselves from it.

This.
 
The Trustees are refusing to take on the role as they don't want to be associated with a pretty blatant attempt to protect his assets.

This'll get interesting, but I'm not expecting much moral leadership from the football authorities or our Govt...
