In terms of the fans and history no you didn't just appear out of thin air (i remember Dixon etc) but Kenyon isn't the only one who talks like that at Chelsea.
Bruce Buck isn't exactly shy about telling the football world how big Chelsea are and how important they are in European football, you don't hear The Glazers,The Hill Woods or those two at Liverpool shouting about how important they are in Europe.And those two are part of your public face.

All the top clubs have one advantage over the rest and it's money so no problems with you buying top players what Ambramovich does with his money is up to him.(Just wish he'd bought some real flair like Robininho sooner)
