- 4 years ago
This is Everything You Need To Know, the series where we give you the story behind some of football’s defining moments. This week we are looking at the 2003 takeover of Chelsea of Chelsea FC by Roman Abramovich, and all events that caused the deal to happen.
No billionaire had ruptured the Premier League quite like the Russian, who showed how money and power can buy success in football. We look at the former ownership of Ken Bates, Abramovich’s rise within the post-Soviet Union business world, and how Tottenham Hotspur almost became the club he went for.
