We were financially screwed in Bates latter days and then along came Roman who didn't just bail us out, but invested time, money and more importantly affection for the club. We all remember the daily headlines of "Chelsea ruining football" and for the last 3 years we've had to endure completely diatribe re: FFP, none of which is true. Every Chelsea fan worth their salt wanted us to become self-sustainable, Roman's major cash injection was never going to last forever. We're now in a position where we have virtually broken even. Not only are we financially sound, but we're playing what most neutrals recognise as the most exciting brand of football in the country. As well as the fact we are European Champions and but for total corruption we would by flying top of the league. This is the year that keeps on giving. Thank you Roman and thank you Chelsea FC http://www.chelseafc.com/news-article/article/2975285/title/chelsea-fc-announces-annual-profit
This is excellent news! The fact that our turnover reached £235m , the 5th best in Europe with a stadium that isnt even the 5th biggest in England is remarkable! If only we could increase the capacity at SB to 55k! Roman must be chuffed that FFP rules have been achieved! 3 cheers for Roman!
This great news should also shut the FPP wummers up too! If they appear it should be easy to spot the duffers who confuse the balance sheet with the P & L account. Won't be long before someone starts banging on about debt to equity conversions!
