£40m net - Rom’s mega-bucks offer to Guardiola
Posted Friday, March 23, 2012 by The Sun
DESPERATE ... Roman Abramovich
When you add AVB's £9m-plus pay-off, it means Abramovich has forked out in excess of £2BILLION since taking over at Stamford Bridge only nine years ago.
If he persuades Guardiola, 41, to become his EIGHTH boss, Abramovich will have spent almost £150m on managers alone in wages, compensations and pay-offs.
The other bosses who have cashed in along with AVB are Claudio Ranieri, Jose Mourinho, Avram Grant, Luis Felipe Scolari, Guus Hiddink and Carlo Ancelotti.
While Chelsea struggle off the pitch for a new manager, Gary Cahill is sounding a battle cry on it.
The England centre-back said: "We will roll our sleeves up and go again because we have huge games coming up in the next week or so."
