in other news sitting on his back passage for one match has seemingly gly convinced mbappe to be a good boy and return to training for psg and maybe even sign a new contract. or the toothless display by psg has convinced them to go grovelling.
Football finance reporter Mo Chatra took to social media to report: ‘any punishment relating to losses relative to the PSR Calculation in excess of £105m would be implemented THIS season’. This came off the back of a long update on the London club’s financial standings, in which it was reported that: ‘they are many £10s of millions short of break even under PL P&S in 23/24 even if they managed to just about comply in 22/23 (which I’m skeptical about too)’. It all boils down to the understanding that Todd Boehly can only spend a maximum of £105 million in this window and after reportedly pulling out of a move for Tyler Adams and agreeing a move for Romeo Lavia – it seems there are still irons in other fires for alternative signings this summer. Therefore, the idea that the Londoners can afford the Ecuadorian that has caused so many headlines on top of other possible deals – is surely impossible. That is of course unless the eccentric American owner is ready and willing to accept a points deduction in order to beat Jurgen Klopp to the signature of the 21-year-old. In truth, it seems everyone is confused at the current standing but the longer that the Reds leave their offer on the table – the more embarrassing it will get for Mauricio Pochettino’s side as they seemingly can’t afford to match us. If the Seagulls don’t want any of the players that are being offered to try and sweeten the deal then it all comes down to Chelsea taking a points deduction or walking away from signing a record-breaking midfielder. Both options have obvious consequences and for now, we must play the waiting game. Premier League FIFA UEFA Liverpool FC Chelsea FC
as i've pointed out previously this is nonsense due to accounting periods . All they can calculate is the amount the cost of the transfers are costing per year and work out the amount to be taken into account in the ffp calculations but as they cannot yet know the revenues from all sources including transfers for the 23/24 season definitive statements are pointless . This is not to say they are not in FFP difficulties and constantly need incoming fees from transfers.
they can merely extrapolate on revenue based in no Europe etc and are giving a spend number. however I agree that the spend number given the fact arsenal and man utd gave them a massive dig out for no reason by paying for mount and havertzs prior to July 1 it's now a new financial year and chelsea have until next July to comply for this financial period. any ffp fine is already baked in since July 1 so either they comply or they don't over the prior 3 years. chelsea imo are free to pile in a billion if they like this financial year and will only pay for it when it's complete
Been saying along, if Chelsea could match our bid then they would have already. They've made a number of bids already, so they really want him and seen a bid accepted so they now know the price B&H will take. There's also a reason we went to £111m, when the expected price was £100m. Chelsea can either put all their eggs into a Caicedo basket (after they shift the unwanted 3) and accept a midfield of Fernandez, Caicedo and Gallagher and bunch of kids. Or they can drop their interested in Caicedo and buy 2 or 3 players they need to bulk out their midfield. If they go for broke and just buy everyone their is clearly something very dodgy with Chelsea and you would hope they'd be punished.
They'll just loan/sell a couple of players to the Arabs before the window closes. Boehly is determined to win this game - that's why we should put a £120m bid in: he can't back down now. I expect they're holding the announcement until 15.30. Rumours on Twitter (where else?) that he's at Stamford Bridge now with his new teammates, and sadly that's not us.
Not sure why people are saying this. We have plenty of funds/leverage to play with, and oodles of FFP. We could still go out and buy a DM and a defender, and if we had to now take Caicedo as well (****) we easily could, then have a couple of quiet windows and sell Mo and or Virgil to the Arabs in a year to 18 months time. We're good.
yeah, I posted that yesterday but it was pointed out that any penalties Chelsea faced would be NEXT season because Mount and havertz were sold before the July cut-off.
Why should we? You withdraw lot , until Chelsea actually bid, then he's not going to Chelsea. We withdraw and Chelsea can offer lower to B&H, knowing its sell to them or have Caicedo hang around stinking the place up. Chelsea pay less meaning they can go and buy Lavia and others. We miss out, then we miss out. But we know Chelsea have had to stretch their budget in order to get him and likely unable to pad out a midfield of 3 players.
