Roman Abramovich Thread

[Ollie 4,400]

I remember my best mate phoning me mentioning we'd been bought by some rich guy. I didn't think anything of it really, i just thought ... yeah, nice bit of money to help out the financial situation a bit and keep us going. I never really expected this drastic change and him to plough so much in.

Thanks Roman, here's to the next decade, a more destructive one with more premiership titles and European Cups. More BIG trophies. The last 10 years were just the foundation of what's to come in the future. With the squad we have now and the best manager, we're gonna be the team nobody wants to face. I predict another UCL within 3 seasons and finally that Club World Cup to complete the journey.

Chelsea is the place to be right now. Really looking forward to these next 5 years or so.

Roman Abramovich 'still hungry for success' after decade at Chelsea helm

I will just say that as far as Roman goes, this gives him another legacy.

He made his billions in Russia, but here he gave himself more image worldwide.

This is what I think Roman wanted to achieve in the first place. Cause in one quote where Roman spoke, he said it was not about making money.

He was right, it was all about building a legacy!

Chelsea has become a powerhouse and made great history, but the name Roman Abramovich will also be know greatly in the history books.

The pending task on Roman´s "to-do list" is New Stadium.

The pending task on Roman´s "to-do list" is New Stadium.

Yeah but the idiots that have the rights to the Chelsea ground don't want to let him do it.

After all Roman has done, they still doubt him.

I think the CPO's no longer a problem. Its finding a site for the stadium

I personally had no knowledge of any of this, and it really helps bring into context all these Formula One, and Football links nowadays.
