Interesting article. I had no idea that Roman has a PERSONAL fortune of $7,000,0000,0000. Thats just retarded.

Each dot here is a person, this is only $1 billion. Multiply that by seven, and thats the kind of money he see's when he looks into HIS bank account. I wonder how much he is worth?There is nothing we cant afford, this tradewindow penny pinching bullshit is nonsense.

I don't understand how the Leader of one of the biggest countries in the world can publicly ask somebody to pay for something they will not profit from! This is a fucking joke! Why should Roman pay for what i think will be one of the worst World Cup Finals ever!

He should pay because its not his money its the states money, its an absolute travesty that he has been able to keep it for so long in all fairness. President Boris Yeltsin gave Roman everything he has got today, Boris Yeltsin crippled the Russian economy so people like Roman could become ''billionaires''. Boris Yeltsin's economic strategy was to turn Russia into a free market economy, the way he did it was all wrong though and people like Roman got a huge chance to become wealthy at the Russian people's expense.

Of course he can profit from the World Cup, investing in property around the redeveloped areas and in entertainment in the new Stadiums will make him even richer.

He (Roman) will do what Putine will ask him to do because he certainly doesn't want to end up like Khodorkovski.

Why on earth not?

I don't know about you, but I'd ask Britain's top entrepreneurs to put in a stake if we'd won it. It should be a national duty and it's not like they would not benefit from it after words, I don't think Roman will have any problem doing it in my opinion. It won't be direct cash injection and he'll recoup the money from ticket sales, advertising and general commercialization in 2018.

He will do as he is told. This is why FIFA gave them the WC.

Russian "diplomat" : "So, How much are England paying you?

Fifa vote holder: "$1million"

Russian: "fine, we will pay you $100,000."

Fifa: "The fuck? how does that make sense?!"

Russian: "You will be alive to spend it.."

Drop in the ocean for Roman.

Little is it known that Putin and Roman are pretty good buddies on a personal level,so don't trust everything you read.Roman didn't get his fortune by paying of everyone that tells him so,surely he will get a profit out of it sooner or later.

OMG, some english guys are really bad losers. The english media now is full of bullshit about FIFA and the fact that Russia got the World Cup and England will have to wait.

A Wolrd Cup in Russia seems a more exciting idea than one in Spain or England. FIFA has always been hungry for money, but seems that some newspapers think its bad when things turn wrong for their country.

In Brazil was reported that Putin asked Roman to help. In UK they report same news, put put that Putin told Roman that he will have to pay...

a large number of English supporters.

You're right. The British media are convinced it's a FIFA conspiracy. I personally think we're just really SORE LOSERS. The FA needs to grow some balls and get over it

Ok, I must have some links with England to support a team that has 3 or 2 english players in the starting XI, and that's in a League that most players are from another country, and that even thought about playing overseas, and even if all players in PL were english I should be english to support Chelsea...so here my links:

- I love Beatles, Queen, Cream, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, the first brazilian national team that I wore was made by Umbro...and I had a girlfriend that was from Scotland. So, I deserve to be a Chelsea supporter, do I ?

Cmon guys, discuss the ideas and feel free to disagree, but will be difficult if all topics turn in into something about me...
