con
a) won none in copa libertadores & intercontinental cup
b) won none in 5 years: 1982, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998

my rank for the most influential persons behind the success of the boca juniors are:
1. roman riquelme
-won many times despite against the odd many times

2. carlos bianchi
-won many times, but can be argue that his winning team was almost full of good players

3. diego maradona
-won little in boca shirt, but his performance can't be denied

Easy, Abramovich.

Bill Shankly.

Without Abra, there would have been no Mourinho or Drogba.

Terry and Lampard could have been sold long ago as we had debt issues when Abramovich took over.

Johan Cruyff

He was the best, he carried the Chelsea team for years before Abramovich bought it.

Without his influence, I doubt Abramovich would have bought the club.

Dinho bought us a lot of global recognition and after many years bough smile/joy to the Camp Nou. Also won many titles including a CL. If it wasn't for him, who knows there may have never been Pep or Messi.

how about real madrid? any real fan out there?

to roma fan, was totti the most infuential person behind roma's success?

in ranking, how it looks like?

how about batistuta or fabio capello?

same with fiorentina

if i'm not mistaken, batistuta is most influential person, but the next person, i don't have any idea

may be rui costa or toldo?

is beckenbauer, the most infuential person in bayern?

bayern fan out there?

in ranking, could jupp heynckes in top 5?

to real madrid fan, did c.ronaldo deserve to be in top 5 most influential person behind real's success?

Just be patient, people will post, no need to keep asking questions.
