Interesting piece which includes a couple of good statistics tables

LastLid & the yah-boo brigade should digest the last paragraph :-

Di Matteo’s sacking may appear premature to us, but judged by the standards of Abramovich, it came six months later than he would have wanted. It is an expression of the ethos that has guided his whole career. And if, wedded to our traditional barometers of success, we peer inside Chelsea’s trophy cabinet, we will find that Abramovich’s Chelsea has won more than Manchester United in the same period. Before we condemn him as a moneyed loony, perhaps we should take that into account.
