No one ever quite knew how much Russian Billionaire Roman Abramovich had put into Chelsea FC, but with the big name players he’s bought, you knew it was a boatload of scratch.  Thursday it was revealed Abramovich has spent 578 Million Pound to date and there’s no indication that he’s going to stop anytime soon.  Chelsea’s total non-footballing income from media and merchandising is a staggering 223 Million Pound, only behind Manchester United at 245 Million Pound.  The only problem, Chelsea lost 74.8 Million Pound which includes the pay off to Jose “The Special One” Mourinho.
