Hello chaps, Let us keep the chat a tad more civilised please. In lieu of recent posts I think we could do with the banter being a little bit more friendly.
Moses has done well on a few occasions - but he's litterally being used as a sub for fresh legs. There is no way he'll get a starting place ahead of Coutinho or Sterling (for me Sterling is the most on form player in the PL at present). I'll be happy when you take Moses back, but he's done OK at times. He may even return with a PL medal The point about your loan system - I don't understand it, you have god knows how many out on loan, some of which would instantly improve your first 11 (Lukaku, for example).
Henry had won a world cup and cost £12m + add ons in 99, with inflation by 2004 that would be £20m. Drogba cost £21m + add ons
Crespo joined Chelsea 12 months before Jose became manager. You have no knowledge or understanding of football. Did you not like football until 2008 or something?
Well let me explain it to you. It is so we pass FFP. for instance we signed Courtois for 7m. His loan fees have exceeded that now and he therefore has cost us nothing. If we sell or loan him it is all pure profit now. We bring in in excess of 10m on loan fees now. That is the equivalent of being able to spend 50m on a player with a 5 year contract and breaking even under FFP on him not including any extra value the loanees add to their transfer fees/loan payments. You haven't had to bother with FFP up now because you weren't good enough to qualify for Europe but when you have to supply your figures in October this year you will be 90m in the hole before doing any business this summer. Maybe at that time you'll understand our loan system a little more and how it is making us comply with the rules even though you haven't had to.
It's hard to even try and analyse how this game could go. There's still too many if and buts. Let's see how you go against Athletico. But I do know that we'll be ready.
I didn't arrive at it. I took it from swiss rambler who is regarded by most as the authority on football club finances. If you disagree with it prove it's wrong but he is somewhat more reliable than yourself.
Swiss Rambler has a view. Unfortunately his accounting practices do not marry up with those at Deloitte or Forbes and they are the guys that advise UEFA.
You total tool. UEFA has in house accountants they don't sub it out it even says so on their website ffs. What did you say about thinking before sounding off? Every time you try to engage you always make yourself look like a completely ill informed muppet. There isn't anyone like you for ignorance. You really need to do a basic google search before you type an opinion on anything or don't and continue to look like a complete cock.
Are you really as silly as you sound or do you work at it! How big an organisation do you think UEFA is? How many qualified accountants do you think it has in its financial section? How the hell do you think that the donkey work is undertaken? Sure their in-house accountants manage the process and authorise the reports but they farm the work itself out. I refer you to http://www.uefa.org/MultimediaFiles/Download/Tech/uefaorg/General/01/76/59/55/1765955_DOWNLOAD.pdf. As you will see the work IS usually undertaken by PriceWaterhouse - now if you can show me when UEFA bought out PriceWaterhouse then I will accept that it is a totally in-house process. Then look at http://www.theaccountant-online.com/news/uefa-financial-fair-play-possible-own-goal which identifies Deloitte as one of the authorised investigating organisations. Then go and do a bit more digging (Bloomberg is a good source) and see who UEFA use as consultants. It is interesting to see the number of legal and financial firms that are advising nd/or working with them. So before you mouth off about organisations and their relationships then actually learn about how business organisations work.
Incredible that someone can bother to do this much research and still completely fail to understand how accounting works
