Chelsea Thread - 2021/22

"I will not be asking for any loans to be repaid."

£1.5bn debt wiped off?

Surely FFP would be interested in that kind of thing? Being funded by their owner? Nope? Nothing to see here …

 

[Invisible Man's Bandage]

How does potentially writing off 1.5bn loans fit in with constrained owner investment because of FFP? You'd imagine that a debt-free Chelsea would be in a very different position to the current version, even if the loans are just sat on the books rather than being paid off.

 

[Mayor West]

I wonder what this will do for their form for the rest of the season. Could conceivably implode, but then again could easily go and win the CL again

Prob some interesting rules over change of ownership over what you can/cant just write off. The club might come out of this ok, depending who takes over.

NET proceeds to the charitable foundation, rather important point.

And anyone who believes that shite probably also believes he became a multi-billionaire selling his rubber ducks.

 

[Marklr]

All proceeds going to victims of the war in Ukraiane?

I don't know how money laundering works. I have also watched one too many films about gangsters. Isn't this how this sort of thing works? Lend a whole bunch to someone who can be controlled and forgive the debt.

All Net proceeds, who know how big/small that will be once he's clawed back what he thinks he's owed!

Surely he means victims of the special operation in Ukraine.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Wonder if Mike Ashley is currently counting his pennies.
