Absolutely outrageous if True.

We have 25million for ramires, 15 million for salah, 15 million (atleast) for cuadrado, 10 million (i guess) for remy, wages of falcao and pato to be cut off, and the likes of oscar (50+mil offer, i heard) and pedro (another 15million).

IF we want any more money then we have the likes of moses and cahill who being homegrown would definitely go for double their value. Willingly selling hazard should not even be an option.

The Daily Heil is a bloody awful paper but if you look at these three so called non stories well frankly anyone on this forum could have posted them. It's just guesswork and stating the bleeding obvious especially the first one.

Roman Abramovich, Paris Saint Germain’s Qatari owners and a Chinese group are among investors looking at purchasing a majority stake in David Beckham’s Major League Soccer team, the Miami Herald reported.

Doubt it would be oscar if we just recently rejected a 58m offer for him.. not going to get more than that!

We were never going to sell him mid-season without replacement. Summer is a whole different story.

I found this article that was written on 2 April 2013 and to see how we Chelsea got into this mess and Roman A might be losing interest which shows why we are not running properly behind the scenes in the management of the club.

 

Could Roman Abramovich Be Readying Himself to Leave Self-Sustaining Chelsea?

By Joe KrishnanContributor 

Tuesday 2 April 2013

 

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1590651-could-roman-abramovich-be-readying-himself-to-leave-self-sustaining-chelsea

 

As he enters his 10th year as owner of Chelsea Football Club, it seems that although he still holds an active interest in the West London outfit, Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich may be looking to take a backseat with regard to running the whole fiasco surrounding last year's European champions.

And while many predict it would be the beginning of a financial meltdown for Chelsea, there is the possibility that it could have the opposite effect. 

When Abramovich made his £140 million move to take 100-percent control over Chelsea back in July 2003, the media were flabbergasted by the whole situation. 

Why? Mainly because foreign ownership, although it did exist in some quarters of English football, was fairly rare, at a time when football was only half as commercialized as it is today. But also, the general speed with which the deal was concludedwithin a weekwas remarkable. 

The club desperately needed a cash injection to survive; with over £98 million of debt, former owner Ken Bates seemed to hint that if they had not finished in fourth position, thereby qualifying for the Champions League, the Blues just may have gone into administration. 

It was clear to see that the club were on their last leg and needed investment. There were payments owing from the construction of Chelsea Village, one of Bates' most ambitious plans to turn Stamford Bridge into more of a resort rather than just a stadium. Of course, it was an expensive mistake, and the club needed to raise funds.

Luckily for the Blues, Abramovich had seen English football on television and saw the potential in Chelsea not only for a healthy investment, but also a successful project.

What's more, there are unconfirmed rumors which suggested the wealthy billionaire wanted to buy Tottenham Hotspur instead. It is unlikely, when you consider Chelsea did have European football for that season, and Spurs did not.

Still, after ploughing the best part of £1.5 billion of his own wealth into the club, Abramovich has certainly seen results from his investment—and to be fair to the 46-year-old, his project has been a resounding success.

Of course, he has had a long list of managerial appointments since his arrival. When Rafa Benitez, the current "interim manager" at the club, leaves at the end of the season in May, that number will rise to 10 managers in as many years, once a new coach is appointed. 

Abramovich has received criticism for the way he has handled the managers at the club, and while the brutality of the decisions have perhaps been unnecessary, the changes have almost always benefited the club.

First of all, he controversially axed former Valencia manager ClaudioRanieri, the man who had guided Chelsea to second place in the Premier League, only finishing runners-up to the Arsenal side nicknamed the "Invincibles" due to their incredible unbeaten season in the 2003-04 campaign.

He replaced Ranieri with Porto's Jose Mourinho, a young and confident coach who had just won the Champions League. And the appointment was an incredible success, with the Portuguese tactician masterminding a return of six trophies in his three years in charge, including the club's first Premier League title since 1955.

If the player rejects the move, then officially the bid is rejected. Oscar did not want to go to china, so the bid was rejected.

Had Juventus made the offer, he's be moving already.

Becoming a regular fixture in the media now, after every failed season "could Roman leave". 

The dude is financing, himself, our new stadium. Does that really spell out leaving signs? What's this been deduced from exactly too, his numerous(!) interviews in the media? :lol:. I actually love the fact our owner is silent in the media, because it goes to show how much garbage they talk. Apparently RM told Ranieri he would never win a league title, yet CR says he and RM have nothing but a good and respectable relationship :lol: 

Fascinating, isnt it?

  • Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich helps pay for seriously ill children's dream trip to Euro 2016

    Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich has helped pay for 55 seriously ill children embark on a dream trip to Euro 2016.

    The Russian is believed to have donated £232million of his £6.1billion fortune to the Fulfilling Dreams charity over the past two years.

    The charity sends children with illnesses on trips around the globe.

  • Abramovich's donations have helped a group of children Israel :wub: and their carers travel to France and watch three games at the Euros, as well as visit Euro Disney and go sightseeing around Paris.

Wow - he's now down to £6 billion - I'm sure before the recession in 2008 he was at £11 billion 

I guess the divorce and falling energy prices have hit him hard, no wonder we're not making massive signings :(

With the possible exception of the Torres and Luiz signing's, i don't think he has personally dipped into his pocket since his early days here probably summer 2006, between 2007-2011 (that January aside) our net spend was at a maximum of around £20m, 2012 we let go a bit due to money from winning the CL, 2013 we had a strong net spend but had to cut down a bit in 2014, hench the sell to buy policy that summer.

But with the new TV deals and the Nike one to come next year, we can now spend big again and this time Roman doesn't need to dig in to his pocket, hench signing Bats and clearly looking to sign Radja, Kante and Koulibaly.
