See the sale of that lot down the road went through, at 4.25bn.
Though I despise them more than any team on this earth including Man U (side note: remember watching that painful CL final in 2008 between them and Man U and praying for it to go to penalties, preferably on a 2 hour loop with Terry and Ronaldo missing and Man U to edge it on penalty no 501 - prayers almost answered that night), the sale price is interesting. Abramovich bought them for 140m. Net spent about 1bn on players. Sold for 4.25bn just now. Obviously loads of other expenses but loads of other income too plus bizarre loans, but we're looking at about a tripling of money he put in.
Have often though of him as a trigger happy money thrower. But maybe not after all. Right time right place or more than that? Why are there so many after, including our own owner, who've just poured money down the drain trying the same albeit a bit later? Curious for thoughts....
