Roman-Abramovich

It has been 10 years since Roman Abramovich bought Chelsea and it has been quite an interesting ride. His money has definitely changed the club and more over the entire sport. But the question of whether he has been good for the sport or not (and for Chelsea) was asked yesterday on Sky Sports.

Matthew Syed of The Times and former player Tony Cascarino have pretty dramatically different answers. Syed’s reasoning for his answers are pretty well thought out and dig deeper than Cascarino’s reasoning. Regardless of which side you fall on, it is definitely an interesting topic.

As I was reading up a bit on Abramovich’s time as Chelsea owner, I saw a list of all the managers that he has hired since he has been the boss. It’s an incredible list. Check these names out:

Claudio Ranieri (was manager when Abramovich took over)
Jose Mourinho 2004-07
Avram Grant 2007-08
Luiz Felipe Scolari 2008-09
Guus Hiddink 2009
Carlo Ancelotti 2009-2011
Andre Villas-Boas 2011-12
Roberto di Matteo 2012
Rafa Benitez 2012-13
Jose Mourinho 2013-?

That is literally some of the top names in management in world football. It’s crazy how quickly they have come in and been dismissed. Can you imagine a list of all the players that have been bought in the same time period?

Anyway, enough of all that. Hit the jump to check out a discussion on whether or not Roman is good for the game.
