So do the UEFA rules only apply to teams in UEFA competitions and only for the seasons they are in it?
Rules for thee, and not for me.!! We are gonna become the Leeds, circa early 70's, of the 2020's! Everyone hates us, but we don't care!! Suck it up you bankrupt tossers. We're here to stay!
Correct. The ultimate 90% 80% 70% cost control fudge is only applicable to those in European competitions.
Apparently the stated aim is to double commercial revenue every two years. That would have us as one of the top four commercial powers in world football within 5 years, if other clubs were static. Top of the pile in 6 years.
There's a report coming out, after the close of the window, relating to Chelsea's, erm, approach. Once I've got it, I'll try and simplify it for you *****s.
I'll have access to a detailed report on Chelsea's spending soon. I'll try to explain, in simple terms, what it means. It might be challenging.
