So, how long do you think it will take for the KGB to get tired of their new play thing and sell it off for nothing? Well, hey, it can be worse. Their kits can be claret and blue, and they can look foward to having their asses handed to them week in and week out by the likes of Wigan and Crewe. But thats just wishful thinking.
I give it 8 years until the club is on the brink of financial collapse, and Bates is on a street corner somewhere turning tricks. 8 years.
Abrahamovic will be fine though, he'll soon take in an interest in Fulham, only to realize theirs another foreigner trying to ruin them. Ah well, their is always A******.........

Who knows, but getting a new big investor who basically thinks that spending a shitload of money will equal big success rarely works out well.

The problem isn't winning with lots of money (see Walker, Berlusconi, Cragnotti) but being able to cope when the sugar daddies leave. If you have a lot of debt when they disappear, so will your success. That's what's happened to Leeds - they don't make enough, and bought players on the anticipation of being a big club. Roman took on Chelsea's debt, and is paying for the transfers up front. If he left now, we'd be one of the richest clubs in England, with no debt and with lots of assets in real estate.
So we'll end up like Leeds why?
