On this day in 2003 Ken Bates agrees to sell Chelsea Football Club to Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich. It remains the day English Football experienced a seismic shift.
Now look what he’s done to the club, he has made the club one of the best ever which has made other club fans hating Chelsea fans. He's done a fantastic job since taking over.
At the time, the purchase price of £140-million including £75 million of debt was more than anyone had ever paid for a club in the English Premier League.
