Hewson and Dover: Chelsea's New Owners
Today,
Russian billionaire,
Roman Abramovich, left the football world in shock, as he sold the
club to
Paul Hewson, or commonly known as
U2 singer Bono. However, with Abramovich selling the London based club for a total of
£1,000,000,000, the singer had to ask help from his close friend,
Ben Dover, who supposedly is the man who works with
Carlos Slim and Bill Gates. Both will work like former co-chairmen
David Sullivan and
David Gold at
West Ham, who have been taken over by a dyslexic man.

Abramovich has decided to sell Chelsea to Hewson and Dover.
The
Russian billionaire decided to approach the way of
Suleyman Kerimov, and decided to stop injecting cash to the club, and
Mourinho, along with the
Chelsea fans, disagreed and asked for the
Russian to sell the club. The
Russian agreed to this, and following weeks of persistent rumors,
Abramovich stepped down, with
Ben Dover and
Paul Hewson taking over.

Following the news and the official announcement and talks with the manager,
Jose Mourinho, the pair have decided to keep the controversial Portuguese, who just arrived from Spanish super-power
Real Madrid. Not only this, but
Hewson, along with
Dover, agreed that they would keep their main stars, and expected
Jose Mourinho to mount a serious title-challenge, and that the transfers will be made between the two chairmen, with the advice of
Mourinho and their technical director,
Michael Emanalo.

Hewson, along with
Dover, agreed that
Stamford Bridge would be expanded to full capacity, or sold, to build a new stadium, but said that the plans will be put on hold,
at least until the New Year. Along with that, they impressed the journalists, with their easy approach, and brought on their first signings, which were
American maid Emma, and a domestic maid, called
Tanay, also known as
Bob.
