Roman Abramovich has rubbished suggestions he has decided to curb his spending on players at Chelsea.Billionaire Russian businessman Abramovich bought The Blues in 2003 and his financial muscle enabled Chelsea to scoop the Premiership crown in 2005 and 2006.
He dipped into the kitty last summer in order to sign Andrei Shevchenko, but his chequebook remained shut during the January transfer window at a time when Jose Mourinho was in dire need of defensive reinforcements.
Chelsea were pipped to the Premiership crown by Manchester United and recent reports claimed Abramovich had informed his board that they would have to manage without his backing in the transfer market.
This, though, has been dismissed by Abramovich who claims it will be business as usual at Stamford Bridge this summer.
"This is absolute nonsense," he told Ekho Moskvy radio station on the prospect of no longer spending in the transfer market
"Everything will remain the same. My relationship with Chelsea has not changed and I wouldn't want to change anything."
