At recent games many Chelsea fans have been expre sing their anger at Roman Abramovichs decision to seemingly let Frank Lampard leave Chelsea by, as of yet, not offering him a new contract. Lampards contract runs outatthe end of the season and Chelsea have yet to offer him a new one, despite his loyal service since 2001. This decision has angered Chelsea fans greatly and it does not help that Ashley Cole is also expected toleave ashe has also not been offered a contract. Coleand Lampard, despite their age (Cole is 32, Lampard is 34), have been vital to Chelseas succe s in recent seasons, both scoring penalties against Bayern Munichto help Chelsea Daniel Castro Jersey win the Champions League last season.Roberto di Matteo, a fans Blank Jersey favourite, was sacked from the managerial job earlier this season, despite leading Chelsea to Champions League and FA Cup succe s last season. This controversial decision led to fury from some fans, but this fury escalated when former Liverpool manager Rafael Benitezwas appointed his succe sor. This decision was extremely unpopular amongst the Chelsea fans because Benitez had criticised Chelseas fans pa sion while at Liverpool and said Id never take the (Chelsea) job, in respect for my former team at Liverpool, no matter what. For me, there is only club in England and thats Liverpool.. The fans outrage was clearly displayed with the Rafa Out banners sported by numerous fans and the loud boos at Benitezs first few games.So far, it would appear that Chelsea fans have every reason to hate their owner he sacked Di Matteo recently and has sacked many managers in the Charlie Blackmon Jersey past, despite decent performances, such as Carlo Ancelotti, and he appears to be letting two great players leave. However, Chelsea fans cannot hate their owner for the simple fact that the sheer amount of money he has injected into the club has been a ma sive contributor to their succe s. In the first season under his ownership 14 new players were brought in, with the most expensive being Damien Duff at 17 million, although there were 5 players who costed in exce s of 15 million. The previous season the most expensive player Chelsea bought was Felipe Oliviera who set them back a mere 0.5 million. The succe s was instant, with Chelsea finishing 2nd in the Premier League and reaching the Semi-Finals of the Champions League. One season later, when 9 new players were brought in, most notably Didier Drogba, who cost 24 million, Chelsea won the Premier League and League Cup, and again reached the semi-finals of the Champions League. The succe s of Chelsea has continued thanks to the investment of Roman Abramovich. In the 2006-07 season Andriy Schevchenko Tyler Anderson Jersey signed for Chelsea for 30 million, breaking the British transfer record. In that season Chelsea won the FA Cup andLeague Cup, finishing 2nd in the Premier League and reaching the Semi-Finals of the Champions League. Since then Chelsea have broken the British transfer record once again, signing Fernando Torres from Liverpool for a grand total of 50 million, although no trophies were won that season.Without the ma sive spending of Roman Abramovich, Chelsea simply would not have achieved the succe s that they have had recently. However, Abramovich is ruthle s, sacking managers when others would give them more time and seemingly letting crucial players leave due to their age. This leaves Chelsea fans caught in two minds on the one hand he has helped the club achieve great succe s, and on the other hand, he is completely ruthle s when it comes to players and Greg Holland Jersey managers. So, Roman Abramovich, love him or hate him? You decide
