How have they just signed 2 Sporting players for £70m? Transfer window isn’t open, more than that they have a small ground and no CL football yet they seem able to spend what they want, window after window, and now between windows. How many hotels have they got?

You can sign a player any time you want you just can't register them until the windows. They are just showing how much clubs can actually spend if they want to, they make a fuck tonne of money even without the extra revenue from CL. They have also made a lot of sales during this sprending spree which largely go unmentioned.

No doubt they'll be running close to the line but there's no reason to doubt the legitimacy of their spending.

2 exciting signings for Chelsea, both are supposedly highly rated. Chelsea will be a threat again in thr coming years with the young squad they're building.

They sold off youth products over the last two Summers for 'pure profit' and spread the transfer expenditure over long contracts.

So they didn’t sell a couple of hotels to themselves, and sell their women’s football team to themselves? I mean IF all those things are ok, as is the rags £41m Covid allowance that nobody else got, and their £35 allowance for yank cunts selling shares in the same entity to a scruffy ****, then it just makes the charges against us even more bizarre?

Same comment - how is what chelsea and the rags done to dodge ffp/psr (selling hotels, selling women’s teams, Covid, share dealing) in any way legitimate?

We bought two young players for around 60m so seems it's the going rate

The point is their revenues are shite. They spent over £2bn in two years and they’ve sold themselves their own hotel and women’s team and the PL don’t seem to give a fuck, rather than the price of the players.

Well they see there accounts every year so must be ok and they always find a loop hole to not fail ffp !

What bothers me more and we hear nothing the media never mention it is the of the books payments to the likes of Hazard so he would sign for them! That there should be big points deduction because they admit it!

I assume that was because of the first Summer of wild spending.

Since then they've switched to this model and that's how they keep spending.

 

[dadnlad]

He guess both youth team player so avoid PSR accounting he didn't know just suggesting
Loopholes

 

[bluemoon32]

Maybe we ought to employ their accountants

I hadn’t been aware we had spent over £1 billion in the last couple of years, so a very different scenario

So the hotels and women’s team was all ok then? In your opinion?

To be honest it doesn't bother me really no.

Probably because I don't really see them as current rivals or dislike them as club. I know theyre above us in the table, but that's because of us being rubbish than because of their spending.

 

[Aba452]

I often ask people at work who calls us cheats, how have we cheated, what are we accused of? Not one single fuck can answer.

Mind you Roman the crook owes over £1Bilion to the UK taxpayer, due to many tax dodges to do with his super yachts, tumbleweed in the press........

Tax dodging, sectarian hatred fueling, despot enabling billionaire bankrolled mens and women's teams (if you can claim Ramirez as a woman!!!!) to outspend their competition but of course, us giving Mancini a secret contract is ruining football???????

With bozo in charge, it appears the nytid rulebook applies to Chelsea.

 

[TonyColemansbagofapples]

No-one is going to call out Chelski on the off chance someone with a brolly walks past them.

 

[Gorbachev]

If you are only going to get deducted 5 or 6 points for failing PSR, even 8 let's say, I think Chelsea will risk taking the hit.

Forest will be a beacon for a lot of the teams this summer to risk taking the points deduction to better the future of the club. That's what they did and it's paid off for them.

 

[bluealf]

So, can anybody explain why CFC get a free ride to spend as much as they like at any time of the season they want?

No slagging off from the press on 'buying' success and seemingly no interference from FFP

All about the accounts they release which they are fine! Like I posted earlier it's the other stuff they admitted to that nothings happening and because the clubs owned by Americans the media don't bother asking about the back handers for players they did!

Announced a £128.4m profit for the year ending June 24. They reported a profit on sale of subsidiaries of £198.7m. The only notable sale of any subsidiaries that we are aware of was them selling their women's team to themselves. remains to be seen whether there was anything else, we'll discover that when the full statement is released to see whether theres anymore hotels etc or whether they just valued the women's side at £200m.

Personally I find this utterly hilarious, they're making a complete mockery of ffp/psr, good on them for doing so and I hope they continue to do so.

For those that are always questioning Chelsea's ability to spend, that profit more than clears the losses from 2 seasons back, so with this year being the third in the rolling calculation, they can afford to take a major loss and be fine and looking forward to summer spending which will be included for the financial statements in 2 years. They'll have a near 100m loss erased from their calculations, they'll have to be careful in terms of planning for a further year ahead when this big profit drops off the calculations but they're basically free to spend big again this summer and boil even more piss.

They sold their women's team to themselves for £200m!! . Haha where is the fair valuation in that. What EBITDA multiplier did they use, 1000 ?

What about related parties?

That is hilarious, talk about sticking two fingers up at the PL and their PSRules.

And we get hauled over the coals for a
£1m odd payment to a manager from 10 plus years ago.

The whole thing is a joke.

Like I posted on another thread the premier last season could have voted for the sales of assets like hotels woman's team to be not allowable for ffp like uefa do! The pension voted it be fine for them to do it!
