Yes that way they can depreciate the asset over the length of the contract helps them meet FFP in the short term. I suppose longer term they will be hoping for a helping rule change or super league.Aren’t they signing everyone on 8 or 9 year deals?
I think that they aren't, that's why they are doubling down on young talentHow the hell will they comply with FFP?
Should the amortisation of those players they’re selling not come into the equation? Not like those players will appear in the books as zero?I think that they aren't, that's why they are doubling down on young talent
For excersise purposes, they are going to have spent €400mil this summer after Lavia/Caceido and €600mil across last years windows (using € because transfermarkt wouldn't change to £)
So that's €1bil spent (mental!)
Let's say on average they have given 5 year deals average (tbf it's probably longer), so per annum their FFP expenditure is €200mil per season (its more as that doesn't factor in deals from previous windows)
They have sold €250mil worth of players this year. Guys like Mount are pure profit whereas Koulibaly etc are only just through there first year. Let's assume they made €200mil this year in "profit"
So technically, they'd only be €50mil loss for this summer
Very rough, and not accurate as it hasn't considered other deals...but there was method to the madness
However I think they were banking on more money coming in for their players then they've sold them for
That's why I'm surprised they didn't sell Gallagher/Broja, youth players who's fee are full profit on the books. Although maybe they're saving that for next summer to balance the costs over the years
I think they are within FFP to be honest. Last year they had the new owner investment rule so could buy whatever they wanted as long as they had a good business plan. This year they have sold a hell of a lot of players so was due a large buy or twoThey aren't, i think they will gladly pay a penalty fee.
Yes they would but I couldn't be bothered to work it out, that's why I said that they've sold €250mil worth but said that it'll be €200mil on the books as an estimateShould the amortisation of those players they’re selling not come into the equation? Not like those players will appear in the books as zero?
Where is this Chelsea money coming from that's the question for me.
The way they are spending it and in the quantities suggest to me it's very dirty, no one, even the richest spend cash with such ill-discipline.
