Your first point I wouldn't worry about because unfortunately the entire face of European politics has now shifted for likely the next few decades and Russia aren't coming back from this as long as Putin is in power.
Your second point - they will get another sugar daddy type because thats the only sort of person who could afford to spend several billion quid on a football club but you would like to think there would be much more scrutiny on them and where they got their money.

If they had any sense they would find away to not just give them away but raise money for them to give to charity.

Fit and proper isn't just a wealth test. It hasn't been implemented properly, but they don't have to look into the hearts of potential owners. They just have to set reasonable criteria that acts as a base level of appropriate ownership criteria. Mysterious wealth from authoritarian countries doesn't seem too onerous a level to apply.

They can but as they are limited on what they can spend on security and catering etc, they may be better off not doing so.

Surely that's them done for then? Finished unless the government sells it within weeks?
Another option is that they come to agreements to release the majority of first team players or perhaps sell them all on free transfers because they won't get paid regardless and it keeps the club afloat for a few more months.

Oh haha. My whatsapp group with my mates is blowing up, half of them are Chelsea fans, so funny to see them crying about this. I said to them, look you've had twenty years of trophies due to dirty money so just take it for what it is and move on, some clubs never had the luck they had.
Players will pay for it themselves
