Almost a billion in 3 transfer windows. Laughable
Because you don't get hit with FFP until you submit your accounts. They don't sign off each individual transfer.Why are they not getting punished with FFP for some of these deals?

The laughable bit is that they spent that money to go from 3rd to 12th. If I spent 800 million, I'd expect to go into the season as favourites for the title. As it is, they're arguably not even favourites for the Champions League places.Almost a billion in 3 transfer windows. Laughable

But perhaps they'll surprise us all.
Well no, because you had a disaster last season. But the fact is that if I took over a club that finished 3rd, and spent 800 million on players in three windows, I'd expect to challenge for the title. The fact that you're probably not going to just highlights what an absolute shambles your owners have been so far.I don't think we'd expect to go into this season as title favourites regardless of how much money we've spent, and especially so when we consider how much we've spent on youth.
Theres a team that won the treble last season. I don't think any amount of money prevents them being seen as practically odds on favourites for another league title.
You're entitled to that opinion, but for me that's a simplistic perspective that doesn't account for the longer term model that we plainly have.Well no, because you had a disaster last season.

No idea what that even means, and I suspect that you don't either.a simplistic perspective that doesn't account for the longer term model that we plainly have.
Well, that's a slightly antagonistic statement to make! I know exactly what I mean.No idea what that even means, and I suspect that you don't either.
But for sure Chelsea will be competitive this season.
If you say so. But you shouldn't need a longer-term model to go from 3rd to 1st with spending of 800 million. For that money you should be able to both buy players that will have a short-term impact and plan for the future.You're entitled to that opinion, but for me that's a simplistic perspective that doesn't account for the longer term model that we plainly have.
