Who actually owns the hotel and the training ground now? Wonder is they'd also claim that with the purchases Chelsea have more assets He's going to make a profit Along with heck I'm wondering if these guys are purposefully putting in yank fall guys for the media and fans to jump all over before they disappear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all the fun and games we can have at their expense right now, I’ll bet Chelsea win a major honour before 95% of the clubs currently laughing at them. They’ll totally win another trophy before we do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The youth talent will dry up. They won't qualify for CL anytime in the next decade. They spend obscene amounts of money on trash and have eye watering long contracts and liabilities. It's only heading one way for me. And the sponsorship will dry up too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are historically a huge global club if you take history to mean the last 10-20 years which is all most sponsors and current fans know. They have enough youth talent to last them for the next 10-15 years. There have a decent chance at qualifying for CL football this season. Their revenue will stay high and sponsorship will keep coming. One of their Clearlake-related companies with no revenue sponsored them for £50m last season. They are getting an extra minimum £50m this season for the Club Word Cup thing. Some of their younger players will come good and offset fees on those that don’t make it.

I'd wager its longer. When Harding started splashing money, and the moment they signed Gullit was huge. It was everywhere in the football media and they never stopped from there.

villa4europe Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 Thing is if you are taking history as being the last 20 years, not just the PL growth but the mid 00s global explosion then they are the most successful team of that era and the city kids aren't there yet For a generation they're bigger than Liverpool and utd, they're a huge club globally Same as spurs their timing was incredible Chelsea going away is wishful thinking 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have more faith in half the people on this forum before trusting either one of those two to make football-related decisions. Worse, one of them can't admit this to himself. You at the very least need a crumb of humility to get anywhere. Edited September 7 by Marka Ragnos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ll totally win another trophy before we do. Same but they need CL more than winning a league cup each season for the next five years. They fail to qualify for CL in next three seasons (which isn't impossible) and their finances take a major hit as they'll struggle to attract sponsors and the existing ones have penalty clauses if they're not playing CL (Man. United ones do anyway if they miss out on CL for two consecutive seasons). The Abramovich era had its own chaotic periods with sacking managers and also endless loans for young players but ultimately they were challenging for league titles and CLs. If not Abramovich sacked the manager and appointed one who could deliver that. Chelsea are miles off, just finishing 5th and getting CL place that way will be a far more successful season for them than winning the Europa Conference.

HanoiVillan Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 As before, it must be about backloading the contract to reduce their exposure for this PSR period. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
