Chelsea FC owner Roman Abramovich may have saved the hopes of a footballing nation. The Russia National Team have feared that coach Guus Hiddink may walk away from the job. Guus is reported to be worry that his salary will not be paid. Roman has stepped in and will pay Hiddink's salary if the football union fail to do so.
This is not the first time that Mr Abramovich has invested in Russian Football. In major tournaments such as the Euro 2008 Qualifiers, large sums of money have been offered to each player based on qualification and performance. Abramovich also put up a Multi-Million Dollar prize for the Israeli Channel 1 Cup which saw CSKA Moscow claim the prize in a final against Maccabi Haifa.
