Abramovich aims for 100-year rule
Maybe this year we can go one stage better and go to the Champions
League final
Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich
Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich wants to build a legacy at the Premiership
champions that will last 100 years.
The Russian billionaire writes in the foreword to a new book on Chelsea of
his strategy to "build the most successful football club in the world".
"Everything we have done so far is geared to this," Abramovich says.
"I hope to carry this forward in the true blue tradition of Chelsea but also
build even stronger foundations to last us the next 100 years."
Abramovich has already funded a spending spree of around £240m on players
since his £140m takeover at Stamford Bridge in the summer of 2003, producing
a first title in 50 years last season.
"When I became involved in Chelsea, I had little idea how much joy and
excitement it would bring me," he adds.
"I can think of no more fitting tribute to our centenary season than to
enter it as the Premiership champions. That is like a dream come true.
"It was 50 years since our previous title and everybody's working hard to
ensure we will not have to wait that long again.
"In future we hope to bring even more joy than you (Chelsea fans) have
experienced over the last 100 years.
"In order to do this many challanges lie ahead. We want to retain the
Premiership title and, of course, challenge again in Europe.
"Maybe this year we can go one stage better and go to the Champions League
final."
