Chelsea Thread - 2023/24

With these losses plus worse predicted next year surely they are certain to face minimum 10 point deduction or relegation ?

Chelsea had the HIGHEST operating loss EVER last season

Chelsea's financial calamities have been laid bare after it was revealed they posted the most severe operating loss of any Premier League club in history last season.

Plus they are still under investigation for off the book payments to agents etc under the last owner. Which despite not getting the press or dressing up ours do are of similar nature if not worse and we keep getting told of guilty we could be relegated.

How would a Chelsea survive if they run up losses like this if relegated ?

If I was them I would also be worrying about stadium revenue in the championship. So many clubs in London competing for fans. Less corporate appeal now a small and outdated stadium relative to their recent success.

What would relegation or administration say about PSR FFP and the Premier League ?

you missed the goverment washing abramovich's loan/ owner funding

Chelsea will survive any punishment imo. Just like we would.

But the rules are a joke imo. It seems to me that the PL have set up a LAZY set of rules/ process/ policies that allow clubs to walk themselves into major trouble instead of protecting them.

The PL are , or should be, an embarrassment to the UK people. As are PIGMOL. There should be a massive effort to protect integrity and not the stupid talk of tradition and history.

"Best league in the world" is bollix (or will be when they destroy it)

What about city?

Chelsea are part of the cartel click and have been useful taking points of us whilst not threatening to take a CL place. They will get the kid gloves treatment.

Owned by a yank - They'll get a slap on the wrist.

Had it been Roman or Abdul they'd be bankrupted into non existence.

Sounds completely legit! Nothing to see here!

And, even if they (or City) got 40 pts docked, both teams would probably avoid relegation, even if they started the season at -40!

They won’t go bust but a fire sale of all their players is on the cards. Well done, Todd.
