Boris Berezovsky loses completely in his attempt to claim approximately half of Roman Abramovich's entire fortune. Chelsea fans will perhaps be relieved, even though it should not have affected the club if Abramovich had lost. Chelsea / Abramovich haters disappointed?

This report has a quote from the judge:
“On my analysis of the entirety of the evidence, I found Mr Berezovsky an unimpressive, and inherently unreliable, witness, who regarded truth as a transitory, flexible concept, which could be moulded to suit his current purposes.”

The Telegraph has this brief history of Beresovsky and the case:The official summary of the case in pdf format:
 
Thought this was dismissed ALONG time ago (or maybe early reports about the case expected it to be dismissed)

either way its a bit meh - it wouldnt have had any effect on Chelsea at all given the size of RA's wealth

I thought about that, but it's mainly of interest to football fans - both for and against Chelsea and Abramovich's wealth. Like it or not he did have dramatic influence on football and various people have claimed along the way (this case began five years ago) that losing would cause RA to reassess his involvement, and perhaps cause him to leave England altogether.

EDIT: there was also the conceivable outcome that had RA lost, BB's lawyers would've gone after RA's visible assets i.e. Chelsea
