Chelsea's billionaire owner Roman Abramovich is determined to back a UEFA proposal that would stop the efforts of heavy spending Manchester City to dominate English and European football. So far, City owner Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan has spent £120m in this transfer window (2008) alone to boost the standard of football in City. To prevent City from becoming a powerhouse like Chelsea, Abramovich is supporting an initiative to prevent City from spending too much. It appears funny to me since Abramovich himself spent an approximately £700m on transforming Chelsea (the Blues) into one of football's big hitters over the last six years and this average to about £116m a year, which is close to City's 2008 spendings. Due to the global credit crunch, Abramovich has limited his spendings to a mere £23m in the current transfer window.
In my opinion, the new initiative in controlling over-spending is a good start in reinstating sense back into English and European soccer. It would be sad to witness another fallen reputable football club like Leeds United some years back.
