VillaJ100 Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 I think ideas of their demise are overstated. Man U have spent a billion in the 10 years since Ferguson, won jack shit and are doing fine. Sadly these clubs are playing a different sport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Chelsea are signing that many highly rated academy players that I'm not sure how they're going to give them all game time in their academy teams and playing in their academy is how these youngsters are going to attract loan interest in the first place, some by going to Chelsea will limit their game tme and miss out, but I guess they're offering big incentives. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think only Real Madrid possibly have more income than them, different league from Chelsea altogether. Chelsea were getting propped up by daddy Roman. no way Bohley can keep this spending up.

Man City overtook them last year That's probably thr reason more than anything else that the glazers finally shook up the management there and got rid of Woodward and ole etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Two useful threads on Chelsea's finances: (Note that in this case, 'interest free credit' is an analogy to Boehly's amortisation games, not a literal claim about interest free payments) The TL/DR is that what one hand giveth, the other taketh away. The players cost much less up front, but it becomes much harder to make a profit selling them, and given they may need to keep duff players for several years, if those players are duff and that leads to managers getting sacked, the new managers will have to work with the duff players rather than always getting shiny new ones. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are operating on another planet in terms of transfers and transfer fees. Yet again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm so the problems begin With CL this makes very little sense for me. Badiashile has been very good so why leave a quality cb out and take two attackers? For me i would have lft felix out. Eventually this is going to cause massive problems for them as they such a bloated squad players will kick off 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewiek2 Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 It's all very Potter. Players cut in and you expect to pull the trigger instead ticky tacky pass it in front of Fulham's back four. Reminds me of how Wenger's Arsenal became. Nice football with no end product. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
