Chelsea Thread - 2023/24

Newsflash... Football is tribal!

Fans are tribal. Football is a universal love affair that brings people together more than it separates them, I'd like to think.

The whole FFP is bollocks. It serves no purpose, hasn't and won't stop dodgy owners running clubs into the ground. You had a good owner who backed the team. Then due to some utterly dodgy shenanigans, yet another yank owner comes in and buys a club. The dippers, rags and chavs, all bought in a dodgy fashion with zero benefit to the club, or local community.

Honestly mate, I don't claim to be an expert in the murky world of football finances. I read Swiss Ramble sometimes and I try to stay informed on what my club gets up to. If Abramovich did some dodgy shit, then honestly we should have the book thrown at us. Chelsea agreed to the rules.

But rules are utter bollocks

And inciteful post of the week goes to..

Its very inciteful
Your fan base is Racist as epitomised by your famous head hunters - right wing bully boys to a man
Your Legends are Racist - John Terry
Your Owner was Racist - it unfortunately is in Russians DNA - always has been always will be - hence why their crowds in their domestic football act the way they do
Your Club is confirmed cheating bastards - I look forward to the asterisk by all your achievements post 2002 and titles stripped, relegation, and bans.
Yet you had the gall to call out MCFC for there alleged - not proven wrongdoings

The truth hurts - deal with it - or fuck off from a Man City Forum

Seems unlikely that forensic audits are currently undertaken, doesn't it?

Yep. Seriously, I think UEFA have scrutinised club accounts far more than the Premier League ever have. You only have to look at the number of clubs that have been found to be in breach of UEFA's FFP regs since they came in to see that. It's literally dozens and dozens of clubs across Europe. Our opponents in the CL final this year are currently in the middle of their second settlement agreement with UEFA.

Yet up until the Premier League referred our club to an independent panel earlier this year, not a single PL club had even come close to being found to be in breach of the PL's FFP rules. I honestly think for years that they'd simply been waving everyone's accounts through with barely a cursory glance at them!

A bit harsh that. He seems a decent poster in the main, as does @Vialli98

Maybe but they were agreed to by Chelsea, so they are bound by them. Pretty sure Abramovich was one of the main supporters of FFP being brought in in the first place

It's your opinion clearly, but there are much worse posters who infest the forum, rags, dippers and gooner fuckwits who merely post to annoy and are total cunts.

I reserve my hatred for them rather than the Chavs supporters who add to the forum imo.

I totally agree. I think the PL is like a metaphor for the UK Government as a whole - posture like a professional while taking the money!
