Well no i wouldnt have thought so but i dont believe they thought it would take SOOO much money to get them anywhere near the top 4 never mind winning the league be lucky to get a europa league spot this season IMO their defence is far too dodgy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creampuff 22,630 Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Abramovic owns/owned CSKA Moscow i'm sure - because he had to relinquish control when Chelsea drew them in Europe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSuedeSambas 56,102 Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Abramovic owns/owned CSKA Moscow i'm sure - because he had to relinquish control when Chelsea drew them in Europe. I don't think he directly owned them. Did he not have a sizeable stake in the company who owned CSKA and that meant that there was a conflict of interests?

Antwilhar 4 Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 You can own as many teams as you like. As long as any of those teams are not in the same league/country/ continental competition. He couldn't however buy Real Madrid and still continue his ownership with Man City, if Man City finish top four = champions league. Two teams of same owner can not enter in the same competition. "Conflict of interests", he'd have to sell Man City or withdraw them from champions league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Conflict of interests", he'd have to sell Man City or withdraw them from champions league. Or write over the ownership temporarily to someone else (relative etc). Plus, with so many clubs now being owned by businesses with their figurehead being the chairman, it's difficult to stop them from finding loopholes.
