However even if my math was faulty I would not for a moment suggest that Abramovich was coming to Chelsea for the club’s meager profits.

Without resorting to petty taunts, let’s look at it a different way, maybe you’ll understand better.

Football clubs in the Premiership are hot property – they are long term investments that you can use to build your wealth and then flip in the future at a much higher cost.

Here’s the thing – look at the numbers behind the deals chairmen have made selling their stocks recently.

Then think of how much Chelsea’s value has increased as a club and as a brand with regard to Abramovich’s investments.

If Chelsea were to be sold now, how much would it cost?

If Abramovich sold Chelsea 5 years from now, would he recover his money? 10 times, and I’m being conservative.

It’s just an opinion, you’re welcome to disagree with it, but please adhere to some standards of decency.

So yes, Abramovich likes football, but that’s not the reason he bought the club – he bought it because he could flip it at a profit whenever he wanted to, and because no matter what happened, it would not be a loss of money.

Semantics, yes, but worth noting nonetheless. And it’s no where near as ridiculous a thought as saying that a billionaire will throw money away without expecting or planning on a return. Refer to Chelsea’s agressive marketing in the Far East and in the US. They’re tapping that advertising baby, and they’re turning Chelsea into a cash cow.

As investments go, it’s a bloody good one.

No club in the world turns over more than £200m from all sources of revenue. What profit would you expect – 10% ?

FYI when Abramovich arrived he spent a lot, but his other investments gave him £700m that year – he made a hefty profit – and is now worth more than double what he was when he arrived. You think Abramovich was after some £20m in 5 years time when Kenyon dreams of making an imaginary profit?!

This has to be the outright most moronic suggestion I’ve ever read. I didn’t realise anyone could fail “Business 101″ but you seem to have managed it. Look for the remedial class – there’s a seat with your name on it waiting for you.

What a retard!
