He must be some age now?

If this is true, Roman's interest is definitely not waning.

He's also a Chelsea season ticket holder and he offered £2 Billion.

Abramovich's interests in Chelsea run beyond financial ones. He won't sell us.

If the businessman says he will pay for the stadium as a private investor that would certainly increase the pressure.

 

It's similar to when Matthew Harding made offers to Ken bates, though obviously the numbers are Ahem... Slightly different. 

It does prove what we've been telling rival fans for years though. They never thought Roman would last 15 years and in his 15th year he's rejecting such handsome offers. If/when he does decide to sell, he won't be short of offers. From suitors much wealthier than him too. Didn't he also turn down a Saudi family years ago? He has done all of the heavy lifting already and we're an established global brand now. But as someone said, his interests with owning Chelsea go beyond money. I wonder if there's more to it than his love of football.

Edit: Makes you wonder why he didn't offer to buy Spurs

Who are those two people?

What positions did they play?

Did they know Zola?
