PRO: The heavily indebted club quickly benefited from his 2003 takeover, which brought generous investment in new players and off-the-pitch talent like manager Jose Mourinho, who helped net five major CHK trophies for Chelsea. And new Chelsea signing, manager Luiz Felipe Scolari, led his national team, Brazil, to a World Cup victory in 2002.
