wow, how much do u know abut the sport, he is the owner of chelsea. He's a russian billionaire who owns oil.

seiya · Soccer Expert

I know about the sport, how to play it and players, but i know poo about the billionaires with money buying clubs

So now i see...

Another question, how long has he owned chelsea?

martini · Division 2 Rookie

he's been there nearly two seasons now hasnt he?
in that time, they've bought 100's of millions in players, and yeh, i agreee that chelsea would be challenging to get a CL spot, rather than be up for winning it without his money, but they did have some good players before he came in. But i do believe JT and Lampard and co would not have become the players they are today with Mourinho's guidance

Oh that explains the major improvement from when i used to be a fan 3 years ago.... When they had zola and co... :p

martini · Division 2 Rookie

lol, i miss zola not being in the premiership, he's one of those one off players, who comes around every few years, who you could just sit and watch, because they are so gifted, like cantona, bergkamp, zidane...

Aye, even though he was short he was one of those who could score just when you need it, well except for headers Rolling Eyes
