Abramovich's approval rating plummets
A poll has revealed that Roman Abramovich's approval rating is at its lowest ebb since he arrived at Stamford Bridge in 2003.
The figures are published in the wake of a turbulent season which saw the Blues fail to win a trophy and sack two managers.
After investing £500million transforming Chelsea into a European heavyweight, Abramovich has enjoyed hero status among Chelsea fans but the first signs of cracks in the relationship are now starting to emerge.
Chelsea supporters were asked to rate the performance of the key men Abramovich has tasked with running the club over the last 12 months.
Only five per cent thought Abramovich’s board had done a “very good” job which is a startling statistic when compared to 43 per cent in the same poll two years ago.
