Of course not, but like any fan if I had billions I would. Return for my money, I may not have invested billions but in the 30+ years in terms of earnings I have invested an awful lot of money following Chelsea home and away domestically and in recent years internationally expecting absolutely zero back in terms of re-numeration. Indeed if I wanted a return on my money there are hundreds of things I would invest in before I chose to invest in a football club. I doubt many owners expect to make money form their clubs, and before you get on your high horse there are 92 clubs in the football leagues alone, we aren't just talking about the so called elite.

Thats' the thing JFDI, you have probably invested as large a proportion of your money supporting Chelsea as Abramovich. You just didn't have quite so much money to start with!

True Fifty years, football kind of just grips you like that, fan, player or owner, when it comes to football the usual measures of normality can in the main be disregarded.

I often wonder what kind of a house I could be living in now if I hadn't spent all that money following them between 75 and 85!


Not that I'd change a second of it!

And then there is is the money spent on Beer

I could live in a mansion, but I would live like a monk, no thank you.

I could own an 8 bedroom penthouse in Kensington by now JFDI.

I suppose it would cut down on travelling expenses now though!
