Hey Eds, there's a question that's been in the back of my mind for years but I've never asked, I wondered if you knew anything about it.

Back in 2003 Liverpool played Chelsea in the last match of the season, occupying 4th and 5th. Chelsea won that day and qualified for the Champion's League. Soon afterwards Abramovich bought them.

I'm wondering if history would be different if Liverpool had won that game? Would Abramovich have bought Chelsea? Would he have looked at a different club, was there a chance he would have bought us?

{Ed007's Note - Was it not Spurs Abramovich was initially looking to buy? I don't think buying Liverpool was ever an option for him.}

I'm sure I read he was due to buy spurs. But when he was flying over London in his helicopter he saw the Chelsea stadium and changed his mind.

He spoke to ranieri and aske a who he should buy.

Ranieri said Chelsea for immeddiate success or spurs for longer term success.

I remember that rumour at the time. Kind of glad though I'd hate to be a Chelsea fan constantly letting go of youngsters, knowing you had kdb etc. That's one of the best things about being a fan, seeing youngsters come through.

HOW ‘long term’ Was spurs success supposed to be? They love ok good but still don’t look like winning anything.
