Trouble at Chelskea?

There are rumours circulating on the Internet that Chelsea's Billionaire owner, Roman Abramovich fortune has dwindled from €16.7bn to €2.25bn, thanks to the credit crunch. In what might prove to be the silliest of rumours this January, Abramovich may soon face a heart wrenching decision, sell the yacht (€200bn Pelorous) or sell the Premier League Football Club. The rumour goes that Abramovich considers the yacht too close to his heart.... Poor Roman.

The credit crunch has already caused some belt tightening at Chelsea. Big Phil has been told to sell before he can buy as there are no longer any spare millions floating around. That would make the move of Wayne Bridge to Man City - the newest club to hold the title of Richest Club in the World, for a potential £12m seem like a good bit of bit of business. This follows on from the clubs decision to force players pay for their meals at their Cobham training ground.
