At least the Rags pay the interest on their debts out of their earnings, all Ambramovich did was top up his loan year on year without interest, an interest rate akin to a Commercial rate should have been applied to that debt for the purposes of FFP.Seems only clubs with massive debts get away with FFP
It is allowed, and we have done similar we turned the debt into equity periodically as we incurred it.I still don’t get how Chelsea got away with that, FFP meant you can only spend what you earn, 1.5b in loans that was actually debt is surely not allowed, it’s baffling. We were investigated over related sponsorship, why didn’t we just put a couple of billion in as loans and save all the hassle we went through?
Good point and only a question of timeSuper league
Seems more ego driven than data driven.Thats the feeling I get. They/their owner, have looked at City and want to outdo us. I do hope we're spinning them like we did utd.
How would that work with no time to replace him
Or could it be our American investor wanting to see some return?
Another possibility is the seemingly imamate recession, could the transfer market crash in the next 6 months?
This...
Chelsea are now owned by a private equity fund not a single owner/benefactor.
Am I right in thinking they dismantled their football technical/scouting organisation during the transition?
On the face of it it looks a bit like - "City are after that player so they must have done the homework and he must be good, lets get that player".
To be fair its probably what you would do until you've sorted out the technical staff again.
It a dangerous game though, Utd have done it for a few years and ended up with some right dross such as Sanchez, Maguire etc...
