Ray Mundo Futbol: 527: The Abramovich Effect with Vince from @TheLeagueMag
About this episode
The episode features a discussion with Chelsea supporter Vince about the impact of Roman Abramovich's takeover on the club and English football.
Today I chat with Vince, a long-term Chelsea supporter who has been going to matches for years, as well as writing about football and working in sports media. We discuss his love of Chelsea, with a particular focus on the years immediately before and after Roman Abramovich's takeover of the club. It was a remarkable period in Chelsea's history and a fascinating time in English football more broadly, as the club changed dramatically both on and off the pitch. We look back at what Chelsea felt like before the takeover, how quickly things changed, and what it was like to experience that transformation as a supporter. An amazing time for Chelsea and, looking back, an amazing time for football too — even if opposition fans may not have felt quite the same way at the time.
