It looks like Todd Boehly knows their gonna receive a future transfer ban so he's decided... fook it! So he'll splash 3 or 4 future transfer windows worth of funds now to preemptively hoard players before the ban judgement has been cast on long 7 year contracts to spread the cost. Apparently Chelsea are gonna buy Caicedo from Brighton after Mudryk
That’s a good point. Yes probably filling his boots while he can. Also.. they may not get into Europe next year so now is the time to attract the players before their stock plummets. I wonder if the press will look into their crazy spending? Probs not.
8.5 year deal. This is how they are getting round it. Massively long contracts with payments amortised over that timeframe. Big risk. Very big risk.
Typical ****ing thick yank approach. Going to blow up in their stupid fat faces. Chelsea will be the first big club to fold. Mudryk, Pulisic, Ziyech,Sterling, Havertz, and so on are all the same kind of player. ****ing dirty ****ty club, hope they rot.
I'm so glad we're not just throwing money around unwisely like Chelsea and Liverpool etc. We're waiting for the right options I believe the newcastle owners, directors, management are the most competent leaders in the league.
I was wondering whether it has something to do with the debt cancellation by Abramovich - it has generated a balance sheet profit that means they have more to spend on new players. Although I thought FFP was meant to relate only to P/L based on operational revenue and expenditure.
The oddest thing is… Bohley has no emotional attachment to Chelsea and should be in it just for the profit… so why throw money around low this? Their revenues are high but the potential maxed out imho.
Rich as **** and enjoys it probably If you're worth billions, like him and his mates are (he's Chelseas co-owner) then these figures are nothing at all. This dude actually seems to have a **** ton of cash, not just stocks
It's clever abuse of the system by Boehly. But abuse all the same, so fundamentally it's just plain wrong and the authorities are now going to have to spend another age to try and reign it in. Where I think he's wrong is he gives players HUGE amounts of comfort; a lot of the new players don't even have to perform, there's no consequence for them - just like Chelsea ruined the loan market by abusing it, the fallout from this is that they're going to drive a pattern of behaviour in players that could really affect other teams who most likely think they'll need to copy what they're doing, or who think they should copy because of the spread of costs. As is always the way with UEFA and the PL, they put these pathetic, half-assed rules in and have no foresight whatsoever into the consequences.
