If Roman ran the rest of his businesses like he does Chelsea (putting aside the highly dubious way he made most of his fortune), he wouldn't be a billionaire, he'd barely be deemed an oligarch. He's a particularly wealthy version of those with more money than sense as seen on TV programmes like 'The Auction House' or 'World's Most Expensive...'. Agents and other clubs have seen him coming, time and again. All those severance payments. Di Matteo and Ancelotti both got the sack within months of successful seasons. Money blown on Shevchenko and Torres when they were past their prime, others sold on after languishing as second or third choices only to flourish (Lukaku). One expensive short-term fix after another, time and time again, and he just doesn't get it. Chelsea in his hands is like an expensive trainset given to a petulant five year-old. Many armchair fans have delusions of grandeur (regarding both their own footballing expertise and their expectations of the club), but they don't own their clubs. Guardiola is (many think) highly unlikely to take up a job offer, not least because he didn't like Chelsea's approaches during his sabbatical- either Manchester club would seem more likely to me. Carlo might take up the offer, but if I were him I'd make sure the severance package is very generous.....
