Worried about the ongoing search for a manager?

By: Jack | June 6th, 2008

Don’t be. Why you ask? Well, our owner isn’t too caught up in the fiasco.

Instead of interviewing candidates, Roman’s been busy tossing benjis around Switzerland. No, not in anticipation for Euro 2008. Instead, he’s been unloading wads of cash purchasing fine art at Hall 2 of the Basel Messe. Roman & Co. spent some time earlier this week at an exclusive showing at the 39th annual Art Basel, the world’s largest fair of modern and contemporary art.

“Abramovich paid record prices of $86.3 million for a Bacon painting and $33.6 million for a work by Freud at the May sales, according to the Art Newspaper.”

Make it rain Romes.

Anyway, is this an indication that a manager has already been lined up and the only thing preventing an announcement is Euro? Hiddink, Scolari? What do you think?

  Haha methinks grandpappy Roman just enjoys a steady stream of cash flow. And it’s hard to disagree with him that spending money is a heap of fun. Unfortunately, most of us will never have the pleasure to drop millions on kitschy art. As far as the manager is concerned, it’s too bloody hard to follow through each media source’s bias, but I do have a niggling premonition that Scolari will be handed the post soon after Portugal bow out earlier than the pundits and CRonaldo-worshipers expected.

  Oh, and I thought I’d let you know, Jack, in light of a recent comment I read around these parts, that you do a fantastic job at Chelsea-offside, and I appreciate all the coverage you’ve given us. Keep the Blue Flag flying high, mate.

  Looks like it will be Scolari judging by an interview he gave.

  I think everyone knows that Abramovich wants Willi Entenmann as the new manager. But as long as the contract is not signed, there will be no announcement.
