That's the problem with club that are manage by rich owners...
They don't last very long... Look at Blackburn, When Jack Walker
took over, they started spending millions... They were like the
Chelsea of old and now the City of present day. He got them
promoted to the Premier League, breaking the transfer record
twice, they even manage to win the title... But when he
left, see what happen to the club...
Then there was Leeds United too... We all know what happened
there... And even longer back, Sunderland were spending so
much in the past that they became known as 'the bank of England'
club... but got relegeted in the end...
So history shows such spendings could hurt the club in the long
term... Cos if anything happens to the owner or he loses interest
in it after a few years... Where does the club go from there?
In Chelsea's case, It has been around 5 or 6 yrs since Roman
took over and every year they are still in the reds financially to
the tune of between $70m to $140m yearly... They have not had a
profitable year for such a long time already... And the chances of
them being profitable is far away cos even breaking even could be a
problem... Where is the money going to come from should Roman pulls
out or suddenly pass away? How about the $500 to $600
million that is still owe to him? Chelsea is going to have to
work their socks off to pay back this amount to him or someone who
inherit his estate should anything happens to him...
The Arabs will be the same as well... In time, maybe in 5 to 10
yrs down the road, they could lose interest as well...
em. chelsea only owe 200million pounds to roman
he like "donate" the rest of 300 million pounds into chelsea
