Tom 13846 Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 £4bn for these cockney scamps. That has to be a record for a club and can’t possibly represent value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Carr's Gloves 3204 Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 I don’t understand why anyone would pay 4bn for a club which constantly ran at a loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobinRobin 9222 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Talk that Tuchel is going to be given 200m to spend this transfer window. How is that remotely possible for a loss-making business under FFP? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could well be a MLF given that he's going to be the head of the ownership but not a majority owner. Clearlake Capital are going to own 60% of the club. I can't see why the hell a private equity firm would want to invest in a business as consistently loss making as Chelsea, it's not as if PL football clubs are ripe for year on year profit. The only thing I see is that they're gambling on the club being worth twice as much in five years time then selling up. Either way it's something I'd be worried about as a Chelsea fan. As a Newcastle fan, not so much. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 8989 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Yeah this feels more like a Glazer type takeover than anything else. Yeehaw, Looking forward to maximising those profit margins lil buddy, Woooo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean £100m because of FFP despite spending absolutely chuff all for yonks and actually being profitable some years, yet all these other clubs that run at huge fucking losses have massive budgets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Carr's Gloves 3204 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 CFC’s new owners have just spent 4.6bn buying the club. Their stadium capacity is a tad under 42000 so they get 10000 less than we do every home game. They make a loss every year and are no where near the top 2. If they get to just say bollocks to ffp that opens a massive can of worms. I think they’re fucked to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6306 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 They're also now owned by Americans who seem hell bent using the brand to harbour their debts if Man Utd are anything to go by. Hopefully Chelsea's days of spunking cash here there and everywhere are long gone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohhh_yeah 2766 Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Drinkwater: "My time at @chelseafc has come to an end… actually feels really strange writing this. Me, the club and fans are hugely disappointed with the outcome there is no doubt about that. Injuries, how I have been treated, mistakes I have made, issues of the pitch, lack of game time… the list of excuses could be endless but I would not and can not change what’s happened. I’m going to look at positives over the past 5 years, I have played with great players, coached by awesome managers, worked with some brilliant staff, met some fantastic people, lived in some beautiful places, travelled the world and won some more silverware. Footballs a fantastic sport but this for both parties was a business move gone wrong, it’s as black and white as that. To the @chelseafc fans I apologise for how this has turned out I would of loved for u to see me at my best in that shirt doing what I love. All the best x" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaser 1054 Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Quite liked Drinkwater, put some effort in at Leicester and always seemed like a Sidwellesque signing for Chelsea. I'm sure he's earned a fortune but might regret going there when his career is over and realises he lost the best years of his life as a squad filler. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a bit of time for Vardy for doing the opposite when he could’ve almost picked his move at one point. In the scheme of things both are multi-millionaires but who’s going to be happier looking back on their career? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wykikitoon 16636 Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Probably Drinkwater for not flushing a million plus down the drain because he's got a radge wife 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
