Deep pockets not always enough?

So Roman Abramovich (owner of Chelsea) is looking for his seventh manager in eight years after peremptorily sacking Carlo Ancelotti on Sunday after a season which, despite the team coming second in the Premiership, had according to a statement from the club "fallen short of expectations".  So, can you buy success in football?  Clearly Abramovich thinks so, and certainly his money has assembled and maintains a squad of top-class players who will always be among the favourites, but football is a game where the better team doesn't always win (which is why the Americans don't really take to it) and you have to accept that sometimes you won't get what you think you deserve.  I don't think Abramovich has quite come to terms with that yet.
