I'm going to sound like a right bore here but if they did meet I doubt it was about football. As we know SDM owns Murray International Metals and Abramovich owns Evraz Group, Russia's largest steelmaker. As I work in the construction industry, I know the price of steel has rocketed by up to 300% since 2006, pressured by demand from booming economies such as India and China. For anyone who's interested, or who has trouble sleeping, this paper discusses the global trend of increasing demand for steel, and hence increasing prices.
Sorry!
