Last 5 years netspend City and the rest of the PL

[OccupiedPalestineBlues]

there is a strong rumour that your past wanker owner was giving some buying clubs the money to over pay for some of the players you managed to shall we say get extremely favourable fees for....................

So you’re saying that a club owner has got a load of laundered money that doesn’t appear in his accounts and he further avoids the scrutiny of the tax authorities to secretly pay £millions to another club (in big sacks of cash I suppose so that money laundering regulations can be circumvented).
Then that other club can somehow launder all those £millions in used notes to get it into it’s accounts so that it can then deliberately overpay to buy players from the owner who secretly gifted them a fortune in used notes in the first instance.
Then the club owner who had secretly made the initial illicit payments gets (after all the laundering costs) a fraction of his initial outgoings back so that he then has to pay tax on the additional profit he books from receiving back some of what was his own secretly held money?

Ah, that makes perfect sense, you must be an accountant and not in the least deluded eh?

Hey guys I've redone my entire thread on the last 5 years, enjoy!

Love reading this stuff. Thanks very much for making the effort.

pep tried a couple of times to let the press know about where we are in the net spend league over the last 5 years, his poor english(even though its very good)let him down, someone needs to write it down for him,he was trying to say 4 titles whilst not spending a lot when asked about the stick city would get if we had done a chelsea

Ahh apologies. I think we're talking about different charts anyway (although you still top both).

No doubt we'll spend some cash this summer although outgoings and the last few seasons clever trading will balance a lot of it. It won't be at the net or gross outgoings of Chelsea lately, I doubt we'll ever see the like again if UEFA act swiftly.

You're also much further along in your growth and structure set up than we are. I imagine we'll eventually fall back into a more measured approach in future windows once all the people in the football operation get settled into their roles.

100% this. It’s astonishing how no one is saying a word about Chelsea spending almost 500 million euros in the last 6 months on new players just because they are owned by a white Yank.

The idea that no one is saying a word about Chelsea is a bit wild to be honest. It just tells me that you (like most people) only consume your own club's news and don't really bother checking what's being said about other clubs. It's like a saw a Newcastle complain about this too, saying something along the lines of 'Chelsea spend x amount of money, not a word but we spend 12m on Dan Burn and the press goes into a meltdown about how we're ruining football'.

If you only consume City news, well of course you're gonna think City get a much harder time from the press than any other club.

There are rumours our owner buys every seat in our stadium.

These rumours from rival fans probably come from Big Dave down the pub and have zero truth in them.

As a Chelsea fan it must be exciting, but as an outsider looking in it’s a new way of building a squad, new length of contract and potentially a new way of spending a lot within FFP. All this from someone new to premier league and European football.

Is he a visionary or has he just gone a bit crazy, time will tell.

It's both exciting and making me apprehensive at the same time. I don't know what these owners are about. They have been here less than a year.

Can't deny that :)

Yeah there loads of chatter about it mainly positive! So more to do with there nothing about in the media saying ruining football or how they putting two fingers up to ffp!

My take is teams should but who the fuck they want and the media should always take the positive out of that!

Example pep second season the summer we spent 250m the outrage the ffp articles the city ruining football was all out there in full!

Oh that season was the 100 point season..

Enjoy it, when you take everything away football is entertainment and with all those signings the entertainment level will go up one way or the other.

Everyone loves expensive new signings

I have seen loads and loads of negative stories about Chelsea. I have seen pundits on skysports, talksport etc all have a go at ridiculing Boehly and Chelsea for either spending too much, or being clueless, or distorting the market etc. To me it seems like endless avalanche but I guess to someone who only checks for City news, all that stuff will go unnoticed. It is what it is though.

Chelsea fans complain about the exact same things City fans complain about - that Chelsea get unfair press coverage and that there is a media agenda against Chelsea etc, hence I find it difficult to take it seriously when a fan of any club complains about being the target of media agenda.
