Edd002 can I ask you your opinion of Abrahamovic at Chelsea as a man and owner . He is mostly known by the English media as Chelseas sugar daddy but outside of the game I am aware he is very generous to charity.And now too Chelsea run very well as a club
{Ed002's Note - I cannot say I know him as a man as such, but as an owner he has invested a lot in the early days and has driven the club to be generally self-sufficient. He stays involved with the business and supports anything which may improve the club. He is supportive, as many of the EPL side owners are, of initiatives around the world. On several occasions the Chelsea players have gotten him to play in practice games, but Liverpool have not approached Chelsea about making an offer.
I am very aware that he arrived and changed the paradigm, but he is one of the longest serving owners and the club has become very responsible.}

My wife's boss met him in a corporate box at the PSG game and he said he came across as a really nice man, willing to talk to anyone!
{Ed007's Note - I kind of get that impression whenever I see him on TV, he always looks chilled out and laid back but obviously he's ruthless in his business dealings. He can come up the park with me, my mates and a crate of Buckfast any time, I've told Ed002 to invite him but I've not had an answer yet.}

He is a proper football fan. Always twitching watching the game. Kicking every ball. He loves it.

In fairness, chelsea in terms of transfer fees alone, probably do as well as anyone with buying young players, loaning then out, and selling on players for a considerable fee, mata de Bruyne, luiz, lukaku.
