The winning obsession that you mentioned. voice-verified

Next question, what if Roman Abramovich hadn't been forced to sell the club? 'Cause of course, remember the UK government forced Abramovich to sell Chelsea, that was after Russia invaded Ukraine in February twenty twenty two, and Abramovich was described by the government as a pro Kremlin oligarch and his assets were sanctioned. voice-verified

Manchester City probably named me really in in two thousand eight with Sheikh Mansur, because voice-verified

You said before it was ki it was just so different, wasn't it? voice-verified

Yeah. voice-verified
