Chelsea sign Hazzard and Hulk

[Rodney]

but never a mention of the FIFA Fair play rules and howthey will need to comply even though they have spent far more than we have. Not usually conspiracy minded but this gets on my nerves,

 

[didactic]

Drogba and Anelka and maybe Malouda and Kalou all highly paid stars are leaving. Im sure Drogba and Anelka alone were close to £400 000 a week in wages.

Fuck the FPR, This is good thing.

Are you coming to a point?

They'll be fine and I'm glad they are spending loads of money I'm not arsed about FFP and Chelsea aren't either

 

[CLEB]

Swiss Ramble did a twitter discussion about FFP and Chelsea. Not far off meeting it.

 

[FanchesterCity]

There is nothing to 'meet'...

They have only to demonstrate a move towards improving - which they will do, with some ease.

As others have said, they'll lose a couple of high earners, plus they'll have increased revenue from winning CL which should just about cover their two new signings.

Next year they may be a little more frugal which will only serve to demonstrate even more of a move 'towards' sensible expenditure.

FFP is really designed to stop clubs being in danger of going under, rather than putting off rich spenders (although I suspect Chelsea and City are flies in the ointment for UEFA).

And, let's also remember that 'sanctions' are a last resort in FFP, not the first line of action.

I know I'm five hours behind and all, but to the best of my knowledge, they've signed fuck all.

 

[Bnblue]

I see a pattern here, I might have a flutter on there next signing being...

Not seen him play but I heard he's a decent winger!

The truth will out, as they say....
