Did the trophies Chelsea FC have won cover up the money Abramovich has spent yet?

Not yet. Plenty more to repay.

True. As you they could not land all the good players at stamford bridge without his money, or Jose Mourihno. His money is everything for Chelsea.

chelsea only won premier league coz they have money..any club in england would win it if they had thier money..they paid for it

they make money all sorts of way. selling tickets for matches, % of away gates, merchandise, food stalls inside the ground etc etc, also by selling players to clubs for more than they brought them. this is more benficial if the player has been at the club since academy/ youth stage as they would not have paid much to develope this player thus when seeling on make a profit.  It is beneificial to win a cup and get into europe because you are playing more games there fore you can expect more revenue from paying crowds. Also the tv rights paid to a club for this competition will be more and more the further they get in a competition and ultimately the prize money for that competition increases the further they go. Also with being on tv more and being more sucessful more people will know about them thus sparking an interest in merchandise this club will sell

For the past seasons i've been a chelsea fan but now that i've heard players like shevchenko are going to chelsea i will think twice about being their fan come next season. Not that i hate chelsea but look at Real Madrid club right now and tell me where there are ranked as far as spanish soccer is concerned. They were a good team back then but once they started buying all superstars they stopped performing. Same will happen to chelsea if they are not careful.Good luck to Abramovich.

It seemed to me like it was nothing but hot air once again from FIFA. They messed up the allocation as well. Apparantly a figure of around 10% per game is all the actual supporting fans of their respective teams allocation while the rest of the tickets have all gone to corporate sponsors and German nationals.\nThe idea of having personal information and proof on each ticket was an attempt to cut out the black market trade in the tickets but they are not enforcing the idea at all making the whole thing look like a joke. Well done FIFA!

People have done alot worse for less money. Arsenal stand to gain over £10 million for finishing 4th, that's going to help pay off their huge debts.

Chelsea will win for the same reason they win most things. They have a Russian Mafioso providing them with an unlimited budget. \n\nIt's not sport, it's crime.

At the outset, let's make it clear that I do not support either of these teams...\n\nThe answer is no though, whichever criteria you use to measure the difference between the two sides. Villa have won the European Cup, several English league titles as well as the FA cup on numerous occasions. Blues have won the League Cup once and nothing else of note throughout their entire history.\n\nAs far as current positions go, Villa aren't really in any danger of relegation whereas Blues certainly are and Villa beat their bitter local rivals twice this season. So whether you're talking historically or currently, there is no argument to be made that Birmingham City are 'better' than Aston Villa. Sorry Blues fans, but it's the truth...

Yes, each of the memeber the winning team recieves a medal.\nRanaldo recieved a world cup medal in 1994 even though he didnot participate in a single match.\n\n*** Refering to answer #4, New Castle will recieve compensation from the FA (englands football association).

Many ppl will say Chelsea, looking at there current outstanding record, yet Chelsea\n\nFunded by an individual, football club is unsustainble (do you remeber leeds)\n\nHas not have sustained success\n\nHas not achieved greatness, through winning the trebble, as man utd did\n\nThus currently manutd stronger

i don't follow Chelsea but lets face it they can buy who they want, most players have a price ( not all ) but at the same time i think a few of there players unless there just in it for the money wish they had not joined . i respect Alan shearer for going to Newcastle and the likes of le tissier who probably could of had a big money move. they deserve to be where they are but they ain't helping some talented players and who they have signed all ready i think it will only get worse...... good luck to them tho if they win the premiership next season. i follow a premiership club not mentioning which club but i don't envy Chelsea just like any other team in our league.

Chelsea. The only reason they are doing alright in the league is because some rich Russian guy bought them and has spent loads of money on getting players. Even if they are doing well, they still suck.
