Crystal Palace manager Patrick Vieira says there’s no doubt Roman Abramovich will go down as one of the Premier League’s most influential figures akin to Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger.
The Russian billionaire has announced that he is looking to sell Chelsea as speculation grows over whether the UK Government will sanction him over alleged ties to Vladimir Putin.
Abramovich bought Chelsea in July 2003 and - thanks to his huge investment of over £2billion across the 19 years since then - has helped transform the Blues into a trophy-winning behemoth at the top of English football.
