[QUOTE="BGonaSTICK, post: 87957, member: 176912"] Well you're certainly right about the financial backing. There are no hard and fast rules, but money buys success. So yes, if the Russian backing were to disappear then so would Chelsea. But If Chelsea dominate for the next five years, the ManU money machine will stop rolling, and the fickle fans will all desert (not that we blo-O o-O dy want them, but there are huge numbers ...). Once that happens, they will not have the same clout, the same draw, the same prestige, or the same brand value. In fact, that's already starting to happen. Their listed status has served them well in the good times, but may become a mill-stone in the bad. It has taken something very extraordinary to challenge the status quo in the Premiership, but challenged it most certainly is. I just happen to be a Chelsea fan, but regardless of that, it's the best thing to happen since the Blackburn revolution. It's a good job for CFC that RA's backing makes JW look like a market-trader!
