For most owners, navigating this misery is only rewarded with occasional moments of fleeting success that is usually experienced in the shadows. But unlike the Glazers, the Ashleys, the Tans, the absentee sheikhs, and many of the others, Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich actually seems to be enjoying himself.
In the 11 years since he bought the club, the dour-faced oligarch has often been seen but is rarely heard. He's been accused of single-handedly ruining the game with his mountains of dubiously obtained cash, but for all the outrage and ex-managers left in the wake of his 533-ft yacht, Abramovich looks to be having an exceptionally good time with his football. Chelsea are currently undefeated, top of the table and somehow on the safe side of Financial Fair Play, Jose Mourinho is driving Arsene Wenger mad, Didier Drogba is back in the fold, and Abramovich is in the director's box — pumping his fists like he's in the audience of the Jerry Springer Show, watching a little person beat up a morbidly obese adulterer.

Or sitting back and happily letting his pits flow in the breeze created by his players banging in goals.— Michael Eisner (@Michael_Eisner) October 5, 2014
