"WE love you chelski we do!!!!!!!! And mother Russia!!!!!!"

Crazy as it sounds Uncle Ken has decided to sell his major holding in chelsea to a russian business man who owns the largest oil company in russia. BILLIONAIRE Roman Abramovich has bought chelsea village for 60 mill of ken bates. Cleared its 80 million debts, and rumour has it is giving us transfer funds as well. What a boy.

I believe i saw the word billionaire in there! Although hewon't be frivolous we have a SUGAR DADDY.

This bloke is govenor of a dodgy Russian province and is a russian MP, he is also obscenely rich. In a bizarre turn of events ken bates will remain chairman as abramovich's official positions in russia prevent him from taking the job although he'll probably ween some puppet chairman in in good time!

This sounds so bloomin good, we were screwed and now things are looking good. I hope this works out, as there is always a chance it might screw up and then i may kill myself.

That was wot i sed....tch, cant u read?

If Chelsky need a new player, it's not Ronaldinho. He wouldn't fit into their tactics, if you ask me.

Now that we have £200 mil to spend, i think we should put in a bid for Ronaldinho. Not that we need him or want him, just to irritate Sir Alex and to annoy the whole of Man Utd.

Bates has sold all his shares because he thinks he's getting old, but he'll slowly fade away over the next two years, leaving Roman in charge.

Gives us around £200 mil to spend on players now, according to Abrahamovic.

We offered him £1.5 mil a year, it wasnt the money, he wanted his kids to grow up in italy, and we should all respect his decision (once the tears pass.)

Now that would have been funny

The Russky bloke owns the club, and old Ken is in charge of all administration.

So, if he's still chairman, then, how much of the club does Ken Bates still own??

I thought he'd sold it all - but that can't be right, if he's still in-charge, can it...?


With a millionaire who just seems "happy" to pay-off a £80m-debt AND around £50m just to get Bates' shares, this has surely got to be good-news for Chelsea and Claudio Ranieri's Summer-spending plans!

From now on, there may be no-player too-pricey. No wages too-high.
The sky's the limit to who they can buy (...excluding thier actual form)!


Patrick Kluivert's been linked with the club, so, he could be the first.

It's a shame, for them, that this has happened right-after Zola had decided to leave Chelsea... He's a great player - one that the Premiership will miss, dearly. Perhaps things could've been different, had this deal happened only a week earlier?



Heh... One Chelsea guy even reckons that David Beckham would've gone "somewhere else" had the Russian taken-charge a little earlier! :D

I think it's because of dodgy building projects, and Ken Bates screwing up-In the 80's it was the fences at Stamford Bridge, now he's screwed up Wembley and the Chelsea village, and a lot of other things.

Stat of the day.

Chelsea havnt made a profit since 1998. With loss increasing every year. (-£16M last season)

Although the shares have rocketed now.

This is a business deal, pure and simple. If Chelsea village isn't raking in the cash, the difference can be made up by using the transfer market to rake in a few easy millions.

Be prepared for a patently precise and unforgiving Chelsea board more interested in maximising revenue than in overall CFAC success.

Yet he's given a good, what 7 years to the club?

Zola has really helped Chelsea, and all the fans, heck, and all the fans of English football should be thanking him for his services. That includes his goal for Italy against England. :c)
