Maybe Abramovich could help out his ‘local’ team?

Well, local Sussex team.

Just reading through the Sun today and I found this:

http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,5-2004272052,00.html
THIS is the home soccer billionaire Roman Abramovich hopes to put in a league of its own.
The Chelsea boss bought the estate in West Sussex for £12million and is spending a fortune more on a sprawling complex of buildings.
Facilities even include a rifle range, a go-kart track, a resort-sized outdoor pool and a helicopter pad.
The Russian father of five — with a £7.5billion wedge — is turning the 440-acre estate into the ultimate playground.
Here’s a Sun guided tour of the development dubbed “Sussexski”:
Abramovich, 37, and wife Irina, 36, split their time between the estate near Petersfield and a £5million apartment in London’s Knightsbridge.

Surely a guy with £7.5billion could find a few million to give to Dick Knight?!

How the hell did he manage to get planning permission without a public enquiry ?

I sense ' other forces ' at work !

Come on Abramovich, invest in your friendly local soccer club. Just a couple of hundred million would suffice. We'd give you the key to the City !!!

We'd give you the key to the City !!!

I would even stand and open the door for him.
