Kieran Maguire on Chelsea's spending

How are Chelsea squaring this incredible outlay of money since Boehly took over?

"What Chelsea have decided to do is to spread the cost of the players by signing them on very long contracts.

"So, by signing Mykhailo Mudryk on an eight-and-a-half-year contract, the way it is dealt with for accounting and FFP purposes is you take that £88m cost and you divide that over eight-and-a-half-years, and it works out as just over £10m-a-year.

"It can work both ways for Chelsea.

"If the players really develop and are a huge success it gives the club protection for when other potential clubs come in and try to poach those players because they will still have many years left on their contracts.

"The downside is if the player doesn't perform then you've got the complication of they are likely to be on very high wages and you are committed to those wages for the next six, seven or eight years.

"Therefore, if it works it is fantastic but if not, it is weighing the club down a bit like an anchor slowing things down."

How far can this strategy stretch? Could Chelsea keep doing this, keep giving long contracts and therefore still be okay in terms of FFP?

"The issues will be that you are restricted to a 25-man squad as far as both the Premier League and UEFA are concerned.

"You can't just keep adding to the player roster and remember that each of these players is likely to be on a contract that is worth £7m, £8m or £9m-a-year.

"All of a sudden you've got more players on these big contracts and then your wage bill goes up by £50m or £60m, and with the new UEFA financial and sustainability rules, which are starting to come into effect from next summer, you are only allowed to spend 90 per cent, then 80 per cent and then 70 per cent on your income on wages, agents fees and your net transfer costs."

Aubameyang dropped from Chelsea's CL 25 man squad

They only bought him 6 months ago. He was bought for Tuchel, who Boehly and Eghbali sacked 5 days later.

Total shambles.

Can't imagine he'll be too happy about that!
It really is a shit show, hope they continue to implode.

Aye, Chelsea badly need a CF as well. They've spent over 600m and can't score goals. Boehly & Eghbali are the latest rich idiots from finance to play football manager. They've made a lot of shit signings and now they have a CF earning 9m a year who isn't going to play.

What has happened to Liverpool? Dicked 3-0 by Wolves. It's a bit like Klopp's end at Dortmund, where they really went to shit in his last season.

This is interesting



Chelsea and Liverpool being shite (possibly for the foreseeable too) is really good for our top 4 chances.

City are so vulnerable on the break this season.

Timing is everything in football. If we could fast forward a couple of years to the side we'll have under Hag with hopefully new owners and decent backing, we'd be winning this League. City aren't right, Liverpool and Chelsea shite, Spurs are Spurs. And Arsenal will drop off a little.

Pep needs to somehow get Haaland working in his system or else it's going to make the league more competitive in the coming years. We've just gone passed the half way point of the season and City have already lost 4 times.

If United can get owners that allow the club to spend its own money, and who consult and delegate to experts, then there's definitely a league title win in Hag and his philosophy.

Premier League charges Manchester City over alleged financial rule breaches

https://www.theguardian.com/football/20 ... dApp_Other

The Prems investigation has gone on for years. I've posted about it along the way. There are 105 charges.

If found guilty (and we all know they're guilty as fuck for bogus sponsorships, funnelling state money etc) then the punishments range from fines to points docked to even being stripped of titles. During the time periods in question it could mean we are given two league titles lol.

But equally nothing could come of it like the UEFA guilty verdict (thanks to the time period expiring).
