Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich's dismissal of Andre Villas-Boas has taken his spending on the club past £2 BILLION!

The Sun says Villas-Boas was paid about £4.5m a year and Chelsea coughed up £13m compensation to his previous club Porto to release him last summer.

When you add AVB's £9m-plus pay-off, it means Abramovich has forked out in excess of £2BILLION since taking over at Stamford Bridge only nine years ago.
