Palace fans turn on Chelsea owner Abramovich over "dirty money"

Crystal Palace fans turned on Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich during yesterday's defeat.

Palace fans unfurled an anti-Roman Abramovich banner as the Chelsea players strolled out at Selhurst Park on Saturday.

The Blues chief bought the club in 2003 and has spent hundreds of millions of pounds in the last decade, bringing an era of silverware to Stamford Bridge.

A group of Eagles supporters in the Holmesdale Road Stand known as the 'Holmesdale Fanatics' unveiled a message which read: "Roman's dirty money is a disease that has plagued our game."
