Alex 30698 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 (edited) You’d have to think a couple of seasons outside the CL, which isn’t at all far-fetched, could see Chelsea in some serious bother from a financial pov. Their spending this season is absolutely crackers Edited January 31, 2023 by Alex 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holden McGroin 5003 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 The thing this, their team didn't need any major surgery. Probably a world class centre forward was about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their spending this season is absolutely crackers Yup, they're bang in trouble without future increases to their income. With Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Newcastle and Tottenham, that's 7 teams for 4 spots. Regardless if they're improved by this splurge or not, that's still a big risk. Also, how committed are they to Potter? Say he doesn't pan out have they got a coach who plays a similar style in mind to take over? Going off this transfer window, I'd guess not. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah exactly, they're just throwing players at Potter who'll do his best (which I think is pretty good) but this slipshod approach is surely doomed to fail. When it does they'll have a bloated squad on phat wages that some new manager will have to get a tune out of because they've exhausted their FFP wriggle room. Nobody will be pay top dollar because everyone will know that Chelsea have to sell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye I’ve been searching about out of interest to try and find someone that discusses the more medium term impacts for chelsea, as there’s just a lot screaming on about how it’s fine right this minute but not many discussing down the line. Swiss ramble did a piece where it’s basically saying they need to have big sales like they did recently, but he questioned on if that’s realistic. Surely this will end in trouble.

They must have 2-3 players for every position, keeping them all happy will be a challenge not to mention those who decide to just enjoy the money.

Howay 12495 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 https://swissramble.substack.com/p/will-chelseas-transfer-spend-break Here’s the piece, so their losses are fucking huge each year and unlikely to improve but they’ve been overcoming them with massive player sales. The issue they have is that’s less likely going forward, which has started telling with the struggles to move on the likes of Bakayoko, Lukaku, Ziyech, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosco 727 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Anything but a CL spot will be a huge failure money wise as the Europa League makes you jack shit money unless you can win in and quailfy for the following years CL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
