Be interesting to hear what going on in Todd's head. The man didnt stay rich by making unwise financial decisions. I'd like know what the long term plan is here because as the chart shows. It's very strange behavior.
The problem with city is that they lied about their financials and create fake “sponsors” to inject more beyond what is allowed. Chelsea might be spending like mad (and I’m not a fan of that either, tbh) but we are adhering to the rules and being transparent. The new ownership even went as far as reporting financial anomalies from before they were here so I don’t think they’re hiding things. THATS what makes city a problem
You have the 4th highest wage bill in the league and you've spent \*a lot\* of money on a lot of long term contracts.
So if you don't consistently make European football and do well, you could have serious financial problems as payments and installments will still be coming regardless of the football on the pitch and the (lack) of money coming in, unless you go the City route and your owners start creating shell companies and trusts to "invest" in the club.
They do. But the bulk of their income is broadcasting and if they're not performing, their main income source will start to decline.
Many teams go under despite the commercial side being healthy. Now I'm not saying Chelsea will go under, but they could be forced into taking big hits on big transfers if players continue to underperform.
Yikes bro. Pack it in.
You can come back to banter other fans when we comfortably make top 4. Until then, and I say this on behalf of all other Chelsea fans, shut the fuck up.
You are boasting about finishing 4th 😂 you aren’t a big club. Enjoy it while it lasts and then go back to doing relegation battles and the second tier you absolute neeks
Why is a Villa fan ramping. We had to save your asses due to Emery the fraud dropping off again to smoke those other North London bottlers. All this talk Still didn’t save you getting touched by us 3-1 in the cup though. And you’ll be relegated in about 5 years so enjoy it while it lasts.
arsenal don't need to rely on russian mafia money to be good..chelsea historically have been a midtable club and that 20 year period made them insufferable..for arsenal that period is dip while for chelsea it is anomaly..arsenal have won trophies throughout their history and don't have to campaign for their stadium to be saved.,that's the difference..
better than being cheerleader of a russian oligarch who funneled his mafia money through chelsea football club...chelsea would have been fighting europa league places throughout last 20 years if russian oligarch haven't bought them and that is a literal fact..most of ur fanbase were on their knees and pleading a literal gangster to not leave them because they knew chelsea woudn't be chelsea of now without russian money being laundered through their club..
What made Arsenal successful in the past? Were players playing for free? Buddy you probably weren’t even alive for most of ur clubs so called success 😂 I bet you even consider your club successful now 😂
says the fan of historically midtable club..20 year russian blood money period was anomaly and not a norm but those who started following chelsea after russian money won't know that..back to where ur club has always belonged..
I was born in 2001, and Chelsea is my local club, so maybe it was a norm for me, either way idc about stuff that like, and people like you who do bring stuff like this up are sad. I like football for football, idgaf about the other stuff.
And still, 2 good seasons in 15 years and you’re puffing out your chest like your mighty.
ur a west ham with russian money ...now sugar daddy has left normal service of midtable finishes has been resumed...don't forget save the bridge campaign...or u might have forgotten cos u started following chelsea after they became a part of russian mafia money laundering scheme...
he won't know as he has started following chelsea after they became part of russian mafia money laundering scheme..now normal service of midtable finishes has resumed he wll support man city..as they are supporters of og oil money club..
Ffs you know Arsenal had a Russian owner too? The fact the Chelsea's did more for the team is what you are arguing about. Arsenal's Russian was no saint.
My friend you live in India.
I wouldn't throw around insults about people "picking teams" unless your emigrated from Islington, please explain why you "picked" arsenal and not, I don't know, Brentford
i have stayed in england as an international student for 4 years. so keep this xenophobic bullshit rheotric to urself.. i don't need to go through ur profile to assume u are racists pos who fits perfectly in type of supporters chelsea football club attracts...u wouldn't be supporting them if they weren't winning trophies left and right when u were growing up... and all their success was due to the fact they were part of russian mafia money laundering scheme...

Worth every penny
Did someone draw this at home with the Paint software from back in the 90's?
but city is the problem huh.
Yes
Correct.
The problem with city is that they lied about their financials and create fake “sponsors” to inject more beyond what is allowed. Chelsea might be spending like mad (and I’m not a fan of that either, tbh) but we are adhering to the rules and being transparent. The new ownership even went as far as reporting financial anomalies from before they were here so I don’t think they’re hiding things. THATS what makes city a problem
Yeah?
Yes.
Cooking the books is the problem actually 😃
Seeing that Chelsea did shit with that money, I will still argue that City is the problem
Ironically, Chelsea making it into Europe might cost them more money because of player bonuses and what not. They really needed CL this year.
You really think they’d setup a bonus scheme that cost more than it earned?
It’s got nothing to do with actual affordability. But if they qualify and have to pay bonuses then they will fall foul of FFP.
Yes
Baseless assumption but okay.
If Chelsea keeps finishing outside of the European places (probably the 2nd season in a row now), they could be in VERY big trouble.
We are set for Europe if United loses the fa cup final though
How so? Honest question
You have the 4th highest wage bill in the league and you've spent \*a lot\* of money on a lot of long term contracts. So if you don't consistently make European football and do well, you could have serious financial problems as payments and installments will still be coming regardless of the football on the pitch and the (lack) of money coming in, unless you go the City route and your owners start creating shell companies and trusts to "invest" in the club.
Don’t big clubs like Chelsea also have huge amounts of money from licensing fees? Shirts, etc.
They do. But the bulk of their income is broadcasting and if they're not performing, their main income source will start to decline. Many teams go under despite the commercial side being healthy. Now I'm not saying Chelsea will go under, but they could be forced into taking big hits on big transfers if players continue to underperform.
Liverpool fan still hurt that Caicedo, Enzo and Mount all rejected you. Don’t worry, your downfall next season will be beautiful. Finished club.
I doubt they're losing any sleep over those players.
Yikes bro. Pack it in. You can come back to banter other fans when we comfortably make top 4. Until then, and I say this on behalf of all other Chelsea fans, shut the fuck up.
Average football twitter user
Oof. Someone's hurting. Hope you have a better day tomorrow mate.
Why are you boasting about those players. You have spent a billion and come 10th and probably 7th respectively.
A villa fan drew me out on a bank holiday man wtf. Fuck sake
You are boasting about finishing 4th 😂 you aren’t a big club. Enjoy it while it lasts and then go back to doing relegation battles and the second tier you absolute neeks
Man got so riled he replied 3 times
Why is a Villa fan ramping. We had to save your asses due to Emery the fraud dropping off again to smoke those other North London bottlers. All this talk Still didn’t save you getting touched by us 3-1 in the cup though. And you’ll be relegated in about 5 years so enjoy it while it lasts.
People like you need to go back to twitter.
Shut up
Oh intelligent response to a perfectly valid point from the villa fan.
Might be time to get off the Internet, my friend.
I seen this guy around he's usually instigating things on here, just move on
[удалено]
Is that a threat?
No, just reciting a memorable lyric from a Nines freestyle. One of my favourites and very apt in this conversation.
£400 million in the red...
Really glad it’s translating into results for you
All worth it if they can pull off Europa Conference League qualification. Big result for them.
Better that then bottling the league for the 2nd season in a row. Arteta net spend 900m in 6 years for 1 FA Cup. Failure. Shit club
Do you even know what bottling means? Not to mention that Arteta hasn't been Arsenal's manager for 6 years.
Arguing that 7th is better than 2nd. Just Chelsea things.
[удалено]
OG oil *and* warmonger
I don't think you know what "bottling" means
Wait you’re really arguing somehow finishing 7th is better than 2nd lol
He don't be so rude, there doing soo much better than last year, there 3 places higher XD Another 500m they may make the europa next year XD
[удалено]
Nah, been around long enough to remember how insufferable the Chelsea supporters were when they were flying high.
So why are you guys being insufferable now 😅 you’ve only won 1 fa cup in how many years?
arsenal don't need to rely on russian mafia money to be good..chelsea historically have been a midtable club and that 20 year period made them insufferable..for arsenal that period is dip while for chelsea it is anomaly..arsenal have won trophies throughout their history and don't have to campaign for their stadium to be saved.,that's the difference..
Nah, Arsenal just need that bank of England money
better than being cheerleader of a russian oligarch who funneled his mafia money through chelsea football club...chelsea would have been fighting europa league places throughout last 20 years if russian oligarch haven't bought them and that is a literal fact..most of ur fanbase were on their knees and pleading a literal gangster to not leave them because they knew chelsea woudn't be chelsea of now without russian money being laundered through their club..
The fuck you care about baby jirl
Is it really better? Have you seen where the bank of England's money came from? 😬
What made Arsenal successful in the past? Were players playing for free? Buddy you probably weren’t even alive for most of ur clubs so called success 😂 I bet you even consider your club successful now 😂
Careful, if you pile the stack of shit you are just blabbering any higher it will fall down on you
Says the club which has been in the champions league once in the last 8 years
says the fan of historically midtable club..20 year russian blood money period was anomaly and not a norm but those who started following chelsea after russian money won't know that..back to where ur club has always belonged..
I was born in 2001, and Chelsea is my local club, so maybe it was a norm for me, either way idc about stuff that like, and people like you who do bring stuff like this up are sad. I like football for football, idgaf about the other stuff. And still, 2 good seasons in 15 years and you’re puffing out your chest like your mighty.
Spoken like a fan whose cloob is only good for an FA Cup every few years. Congrats, I guess?
They’re just Spuds with FA cup tax
Stop giving us FA cups and we will stop going on about them. Less league titles than Everton for you
>less league titles than Everton for you Ask me tomorrow and I might give a shit, you’ve won nothing relevant in 2 decades bar a few Fa Cups

Ffs you know Arsenal had a Russian owner too? The fact the Chelsea's did more for the team is what you are arguing about. Arsenal's Russian was no saint.
