Appreciated about Abramovich's background - incredibly bad for the game.

Initially there was the argument that it had kickstarted the transfer market, but now it's just uncompetitive - it became ridiculous when they spent ?24m on Drogba just to prove a point.

And Peter Kenyon ... well, I really can't stand him. No coincidence that he's cropped up at Chelsea having masterminded Mafia's cynical business strategies of the 90s, either.
