According to the latest Forbes annual report of 'Footballs Richest Clubs' and their turnovers, Chelsea is valued at £1.4bn. Which means Abramovich would recoup all that he has invested, including the initial purchase outlay and make a few hundred million profit, if he was to sell up right now.
And it was always the business plan that the club would be self sustaining after those initial years of investment. They have been complying with FFP rules in recent years with some pretty shrewd business in the transfer market and new commercial deals. And made a profit in three of the last five years. But there is no sign of him cashing in. Instead, the growth continues with the plans for a new, bigger stadium.
Do you think his recent visa issues will discourage Roman and force him to sell and take profit as a businessman?

I want to believe he is emotionally attached to the club like the rest of us.

He should be, I just wish the home office can sort things out sooner than later. Roman isn't Putin, he is our owner and should be respected, imo. The man has done a lot in terms of investment and job creation for this country.
