Chelsea Thread - 2023/24

[waspish]

I need to check, but when we reached our settlement with UEFA in 2014, I seem to recall that we agreed not to include inter-company transactions after selling IP to City Football Marketing and City Football Services.

While that was UEFA rather than the PL, you have to question the wisdom of allowing one pet of the group to subsidise another in this way. Isn't this just equity investment disguised as revenue after all?

It's pretty remarkable that this is a loop hole? You'd thought that be one of the first on the list of PSR!

So in theory cheslea could sell the ground to another company who has Boehly partly own?!

Chelsea don't actually own Stamford Bridge. It's owned by a company owned by the fans.

But if Chelsea sold the hotel, then presumably they were claiming the revenue from it (as City will be when our development is finished). Probably a drop in the ocean compared to football income though.

I think it’s utterly mental that this can be allowed. It’s probably going to be yet another “loophole”closed by the PL because of Chelsea though.

Yep but fair dos to Boehley finding the loop hole and proves those who write this rules are clueless!

Think he found a loop hole and fell through it rather than successfully navigate around it!

No Enzo, six goals.

Hopefully he’s available for the weekend. :-)

After Saturday let's hope they can find some form and finish above the Rags

 

[Vialli98]

Good shit.

If they can get through this season without being charged then with the Club World Cup money next year will that give them a chance to spend again or will they be having to sell? Do they take a quick profit on Palmer or is the only guy they have to keep?

They won’t be charged this season. Their misdemeanours were before the fast track process was agreed, maybe the hotel aside.

The rest will take as long as our process has, just like Leicester’s will too.
