Chelsea would have been f*cked had Abrahmovic left. The fact he didn't doesn't invalidate that.
Would you like us to be a billionaire's plaything too? Screw that.
If football is just about who has the biggest chequebook (and it increasingly is) then it's no longer a sport I'd want to follow (and it increasingly isn't).
If you're happy to cheer silverware bought with a billionaire's money like the knuckly draggers at City and Chelsea then good luck to you. It's as empty as buying a degree off the internet and then putting the framed certificate on your wall.
