Talking of Chelsea fans, it's good that they're not cowing in the atmosphere of near unanimous revulsion of Putin by detaching themselves from Roman Abramovich who has been the Saviour of their club for the last 20 years.
Whilst sequistrating Roman's assets is probably the morally right thing to do to indirectly bring pressure on Putin to abandon his war and bring economic pressure on his regime coupled with Roman's past links with Putin which facilitated the securing of his wealth, most Western countries were happy to accommodate Putin until recently and conduct global business with him.
So credit to Chelsea supporters for not kicking their ally while he's down just to appease majority opinion.
