Chelsea were by far this season’s best Premier League team. Roman Abramovich, the club’s owner, must be chuffed with his side’s success – but was it worth it?

Fordstam, the company vehicle in control of Chelsea, has announced that Roman’s loan to the Blues has surged past the £1billion mark.

In the year to June 2014, Abramovich’s loan rose from £984m to £1,041,243,000.

The good news for Chelsea is that the loan is interest free. And should Abramovich need the money back, he would have to serve notice 18 months before making a demand.

Fair?
