The Saudis will bail them out like they did last time. These āsort of peopleā stick together.

I didn't understand some of the financial jiggery-pokery discussed, but it hadn't occurred to me that 'cleverly' spreading the cost of a 100m player over 8 years means that any profit in selling them before those years are up means far less actual profit.
Disruptive owners, managerial questions and financial concerns: Chelsea are a $1bn mess
With mounting long-term financial concerns, there is no quick fix in sight for the clubās on-field struggleswww.theguardian.com
If I got that right.
So buying Moises etc for that much means that they expected it lead to European glory. Otherwise it's essentially dead money?
In order to weaken other teams, Man City have the ability to buy their players: turns out there's another way to be that dastardly - get other teams to buy your players!!
Would the euro delay be more about the players than the teams? I would expect teams would want to sign them before the euros just in case they have a brilliant tournament and draw attention from other sides. For the players, it would be the opposite - if they have a killer Euros, they could demand higher wages and get themselves a bigger deal (or perhaps a more desirable team to sign for).

Yes - heās only played about 25 games in the last year and a half, and keeps getting hamstring injuries. No club will pay serious money for him.
Plus, everyone knows Chelsea will be desperate to sell some of their academy-developed players this summer, so will have them over a barrel. Why would any other EPL team want to help Chelsea avoid FFP penalties?!

It's just a delight that, not only have they smashed all this money on players who've turned out to be garbage for them, but they're all on handsome wages and long contracts so if nobody else can afford their wages, they will sit there, draining Chelsea's budget for years to come, just like Winston Bogarde did. And the manager, whoever it is that week, will try and force them to quit by making them train with the kids and ostracising them from the first team squad, but if they're like Bogarde, or Gareth Bale for his last few years at Real Madrid, they'll just sit around, taking the money and wasting everybody's time. Hopefully even the Saudi league won't be interested.

Makes you wonder why Utd paid silly money for Mount. Heās a HGP so all profit on his sale fee.

Man Utd and Chelsea massively helped Chelsea signing Mount and Havertz respectively for Ā£120m.
Now if everyone could leave their primaddonnas alone (James, Chilwell, Gallagher etc) we could relegate that horrible club through FFP. They would also not be a threat anymore to thieir fellow Big 6, Villa and Newcastle. Please can this happen.

I did hear a lot in the summer about how Chelsea, especially Mudryk, were going to be "cooking" this season.
It appears somebody at the Bridge forgot to turn the oven on.

They appear to be utterly f***ed dont they? I mean in an FFP sense.

Thatās true, but usually players want to focus on the tournament and the national team manager certainly wants them to.
I didn't get this view, they are mostly unproven in the PL
Even Lavia / caicido hadn't played near 100 games in the PL between them

They even managed to re-sign their own player! Shamblesā¦

I don't understand what that is telling us. Is it break even fee for each individual player?
If so what does it tell us about their finances/ffp? It doesn't say how much they need to make to comply with ffp as far as I can work out. Or are we taking the 100m spoken about elsewhere in this thread as the figure they need? In which case they'd need to sell a collection of those players for a combined 100m above the break even figure?

Amazing how little anyone in the media has to say about Poch given he is now objectively worse than Potter who they slated. Funny from outside looking in though.

Souness is an absolute plum. He clearly has some dislike of us and keeps trotting nonsense out. What is his problem?Anyone hear Souness on TS yesterday kept going on about how we are in debt to Bloom and Palace are a well run club.

I don't understand the stats quoted as all other media says Potter had 22 League games?
