But selling two hotels to yourself is just blatent the cheating Well it's not cheating if the laws of the rule allow you to do it. I don't like what Chelsea have done in this regard, but it's difficult to blame them for it when they're seemingly perfectly entitled to do it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah and then they changed the rules to stop clubs doing it. But only stadiums then it applies to then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utter farce of a deal. Edit, wait the amorisation only covers 5 years regardless of contract length. Edited August 11 by The_Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man city have been more successful than them yet you dont see them having a squad of 50+ players Why there isnt a limit to how many players you can sign i will never know. If a rule comes in about wage bills in the future like in spain they are totally **** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 1 hour ago, Kiwivillan said: Can be any length but must be paid off within 5 years What does this mean? They are normal contracts that are paid out over the length of the contract. The player will be getting paid weekly for the next 7 years if he says with the club under that contract. The fee will be paid to the selling club in whatever way the deal was agreed between the two clubs. The bit about 5 years is just that the value of the player on your books can only be split over 5 years rather than the full contract length for the purposes of calculating FFP.

UpTheVilla26 Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Let them carry on, because with such a high turn over of players every window, they will never have a team that will do anything. End of last season, it started to click and they then sack the manager and rip apart the squad again. I'm not sure what book cooking is taking place, something is going on, but long term they will suffer on the pitch where it matters and hopefully be in massive financial trouble in a few years time.
