Another noticeable 

facts about Roman Abramovich, Chelsea's club owner

is that Before Roman Abramovich bought

Football Club, he had first set his eyes on

Hotspur in north London. The club chairman Daniel Levy, the club chairman, also reported the deal back in 2003. Abramovich had visited White Hart Lane and later expressed an interest in buying the club through an intermediary.

“Yes, we did have a meeting at his request because he wanted ENIC's perspective on the European football market,” Levy had said. “It is important to note, however, that we did not discuss at any time his desire to acquire a Premiership club, either then or subsequently." Levy didn't think it was a serious bid at the moment,

claiming an outrageous price just to get him off his back. Abramovich then decided it was not worth it and proceeded to buy Chelsea even though it cost him £60 million – £10 million more than Tottenham’s price.

But in return, he had a developed stadium ready and also two hotels – a better bargain than buying Tottenham. Chelsea was also ready to sell because of the debts, which Abramovich duly paid off.
