Yeah I was gonna pipe up and say the same thing. Why should it be assumed? Because you dont like Chelsea? How about they investigate it and prove that something dodgy is going on? Then Chelsea will deserve whatever punishment is meted out.
That's what I was suggesting. The Premier League would take ages to investigate. More likely to put on the 'too hard' pile.
Prem/uefa/fifa have for themselves into a right pickle on all this stuff. Allowing owners to have control of multiple teams across the globe. They put a caveat in about not being able to play in same league / European comp. Then ****ed that with the whole Red Bull issues. And now seeing it being taken to the extreme with city owners having about 12 diff clubs across the globe and now the Saudi investment in Newcastle (even ignoring the issues with state ownership) and the 4 Saudi clubs plus this minority stake in Chelsea. Think there are worried people in these organisations that know in the not too immediate future it’s gonna put the sport at a massive conflict.
The top 10 biggest spending clubs in the 2022/23 Premier League's £2.8billion transfer spree West Ham United - £173.3m. Arsenal - £171.8m. ... Newcastle United - £165.5m. ... Nottingham Forest - £164.6m. ... Tottenham Hotspur - £158.9m. ... Wolverhampton Wanderers - £158.2m. ... Manchester City - £134.4m. ... Leeds United - £130m. ...
do the suadis own part of forest too seriously though, if you look at what has gone on ithe money has been spread out over several players for some of the above clubs. west ham bought paqueta, Scamacca, Aguerd, conrnet, emerson and a couple others like ings. it was BADLY spent. but they also shoved another 70odd net in the prior summer. Where do they get the money? who knows. Arsenal is likewise, massive losses being reported and are out bidding 65mil on a player they don't need and 80 to 90 on rice and getting masses of priase for it. Most of the money seems to actually be badly spent frankly. The point is the fees were 30 mil and around that. now you cannot move without being told the fee is 60 to 100 mil for the most average players, even players coming to end of a contract are going for 60mil! it is absolutely a frenzy of madness. Which is why LFC need to go find a couple or rational buys that make sense. Macallister looks the bargain of the cnetury when we see the utter crap going on yet we paid all of his money imo.
Going back to things actually Liverpool Thuram deal looks to be delayed by the under 21 Euro's, possible that nothing will happen till France are out. Same for Kone if we are following through on that one.
very much doubt it is true but then considering they paid £40m for Kalvin Phillips apparently just to stop anyone else buying him who knows .
Ah the old AC Milan tactic lol not going to lie I had started to think that Bohley at Chelsea was thinking of the players as panini stickers can just see him on the training ground Got got got got got got got Need (looking at sky sports news app) Got got got …
