Do you think Chelsea would had won trophies without Abramovich's money?
It is most successful era of Chelski's history, winning 10-11 trophies under billionaire Abramovich.
Certainly his money attracted Mourinho for his great job at club, Ancelotti doing good job for doubles and di Matteo made them win their first CL title and now, Rafa Benitez has made them win Europa League.
Many players came due to wage$ provided by Abramovich. Funny transfer like 50 million for Torres, £30.8 million for Shevchenko also happened on the way.
Do you think Chelski would have achieved without the large amount of money spent on players?

The answer is very obvious: NO
Without Abramovich, Chelsea was covered in large debts and was the same level as Pourthmouth, but under Abramovich, a new era began. Chelsea is now, officially, the fourth best club in Europe and has been winning trophies (sometimes 2) every year since Abramovich's arrival
Obviously money matters, always has. The big clubs like Real Madrid, Man United, and AC Milan have it due to their early success. They earned it years ago, but the money has been there for them as it is today. It is not a guarantee for success however as clubs like Liverpool and Arsenal haven't been able to manage it well enough to consistently win. Man City will be the true test if they show they can continue to win Cups, having only won one with their current huge bankroll. What's funny to see and read is the reaction of the the other middle-tier level teams like Tottenham. They are dying with Chelsea's success!
Nope not at all. Actually had Chelsea not qualified for the CL that year, we would have gone into administration and Roman would not have bought us.
So WOULD we have become successful. No. Would we CONTINUE to be successful without him? Absolutely. What half you clowns don't realize is that because of FFP he doesn't bankroll Chelsea anymore. We spend what we earn, just like any other team who intends to compete in the CL. Does that mean we stop spending big? Absolutely not. Chelsea have one of the highest revenues of any club in the world (I believe 6th according to Forbes).
Anyone saying Chelsea would won without Roman is delusional. Why did they not win before he got there! Looking at Malaga who had rich owners who stopped investing 2 years ago yet came within seconds of making it to the semis of the CL, is remarkable. Bravo Pelligrini
