The death of the European Cup.

Skewered.

Here's how.

2011-12: Blues Arrive in the Promised Land
It seemed a new era was dawning at Stamford Bridge with the appointment of Andre Villas-Boas as manager in July 2011.

It was all short-lived, though, with the young Portuguese fired come March that season as Chelsea's season looked to crumble around them. Roberto Di Matteo stepped in to steady the ship but did a lot more than that as the club lifted the FA Cup and Champions League for the first time.

Including his spending in the 2011 summer transfer window, getting his hands on the Champions League trophy had taken Abramovich just shy of nine years and £597.25 million on transfer fees.

Thats how you buy one

 

Ginge gone quiet

 

He can't believe you copied the first paragraph twice without realising and then didn't edit it

 

I do what I fukin want

 

not bad in 9 years. Klopps done that in 5 years alone for you guys to buy your way to some glory

 

Oh Bobby Bobby Bobby.

It was 4 years actually and the spend comparisons are gonna be embarrassing for you.

You wanna go there?

 

It's fine sucky, just enjoy your bought trophies like us bro

 

A wise choice bro.

I had a barrage of net spend lists and transfer fees to slap you about with there

 

If I was a chav I deffo wouldn't want anyone reading this link.

So 500+m to buy the clubs 1st champions league.

And if they win this one the spend is around 2billion.

 

Yeah ... they must be absolutely disgusted that Abramovic' s financial clout has brought them all those trophies ... and all those global plastic fans

 

You misread my post mate.

I said chavs wouldn't want anyone else reading that link.

Cos it shows what we all know and what they don't like to admit.

They bought anything they've ever won under roman.

 

True ... but your boys did that for 30 years post Shankly ...

 

Bro we can't be going back 100 years.

Its not fair as none of the rest of us here were alive.

 

Often wondered why fosse always bites when I drag the chavs through the mud for buying thier current status in football.

But its cos lestah basically done that to get to the prem right?

 

Good point... so you are confirming that in 60 years from now no football fans will remember that Chelsea and Citeh bought the vast majority of their success just like Liverpool and United had done before them? ... glad we got there in the end

 

But we are alive now bro and Chelsea along with city are buying success.

So should we not talk about it?

I think perhaps it's a subject a bit close too home for you, that's why you're being so confrontational.

 

Indeed we did mate ... outrageous spending ...

Schmeichel £1.3 m
Chris Wood £1m
Anthony Knockaert 750k
Lloyd Dyer Free
David Nugent Free
Wes Morgan 800k
Liam Moore Youth academy
Jeff Schlupp Youth academy
Jamie Vardy £1m
Richie De Laet £1m
Matty James £1m
Dean Hammond Free
Riyad Mahrez £450k
Marcinn Wasilewski Free

You seem to be confusing confrontational with correctional ... and hype and hypocrisy... you know I'm always ready to help you with those tricky words buddy
