If Chelsea fail to qualify for next Seasons Champions League campaign, does anyone feel that Roman might look to sell up and move on? Only with the corrupt Financial Fair Play regulations coming into play and the lack of Champions League income it will prove very difficult to attract the players to rebuild a prem and european title challenging side. Roman isn't going to be content with just qualifying for europe like Arsenal so maybe He will sell up and cut His loses.

Erm. no, why would he do that?

Nope, not for a second. What most fans of opposition clubs, the media and even some of our own fans seem to forget is that Roman is one of the longest standing owners in England. He has put provisions into place to make sure the club is in a good place for the future. Our academy has recieved level 1 status and is in its 3rd FA Youth Cup final in 4 years, while also making the NextGen series final, in its first attempt. The overseas sponsorship deals with Gazprom, Audi, Singha etc have us in a fairly decent financial position. CL qualification and progression is the one factor that currently turns our net loss into a net profit.

And while you, like many others have only just begun to give FFP thought, the club has been working towards a financially sustainable future for some time by putting our academy on the map, and beginning to buy quality young first team players (Luiz, Oscar, Mata, Hazard, Ramires, Azpilicuetta, Courtois, KDB, Lukaku) rather than the established names we saw in the past (Ballack, Deco, Shevchenko etc). Roman views Chelsea as a way to enjoy his money, while making a mark on a sport he wholeheartedly enjoys. We are not a stop gap for his next project. Rebuilding Chelsea from the ground up and having us as a consistent League and European force is his 'next' project.

Fans need to show some support and loyalty to a man who has shown it in spades to us.

He's got to find a buyer. and with how much he has invested, the price won't be low.

We can challenge anyone with the talent coming back from loan spells and getting rid of contracts like the one;s of Malouda, Lampard and Torres, so I should not really be worried.

You do realise that buying and selling a club isn't like buying and selling a player right?
