    I have been saying this for a while now...what game am I going on about....Last season the Game between Liverpool and Chelsea for the 4th CL place.Thats right the game I am talking about did not involve Man You or even Arsenal.Why was the Chelsea Liverpool game so important...well if Chelsea had not of won that game they would not have been in the CL this season and the Russian Mafia would not have taken over.So it could pan out in the years ahead that the most inportant game in years was in fact for 4th.

    I'd say most of us have thought about this at one time or another but why 4th place? why didn't he take over Newcastle? I think he had is sights set for Chelsea well before it TBH.

    Nothing to do with that really. He had eyed up 3 english clubs (chelsea, spurs and villa) and went for Chelsea but had already decided all this before the end of the season. Reason he went for them I believe was because it would be the easiest to buy out.

    Nightstrike is in fact correct. He looked at a host of clubs in England including Utd and Chelsea was the best option from a financial point of view. They are a London team with a great stadium and have potential and are fulfilling it for as a long as Ranieri "eeeeeeets ok" is there.

    And coming from such a grim country, he surely knew that no-one in their right mind would welcome a move to the midlands (Villa?!) or the north, it had to be a London club. I couldnt see Mutu, Crespo et al jumping at the chance to leave Italy and live in Birmingham(!)
