Can't see the point of barring selling tickets or a cap on travelling. The owner's been sanctioned and the club is with a trustee, at least let them run the club to the full benefit of the club, players and fans.
Apparently they have bad finances which was supported and underwritten by Roman. Some of which was hidden from the Premier League. They can’t actually pay the overall wage bill unless they got extra help.
Not for the first time this week, I haven't a clue what I'm talking about. :lol:

His plans to give the club to charity doesn't seem so generous now.

They should disqualify him from driving as well. :)

Statement from Middlesborough (Chelsea withdrew their request within hours of sending it):

We are aware of Chelsea's request to have Saturday's Emirates FA Cup sixth round tie played behind closed doors and find their suggestion both bizarre and without any merit whatsoever.

All concerned are well aware of the reasons Chelsea have been sanctioned and that this has nothing to do with Middlesbrough Football Club.

To suggest as result that MFC and our fans should be penalised is not only grossly unfair but without any foundation.

Given the reasons for these sanctions, for Chelsea to seek to invoke sporting "integrity" as reason for the game being played behind closed doors is ironic in the extreme.

We currently await formal notification from the FA of the next steps but rest assured MFC will resist Chelsea's actions in the strongest terms.
