Hazard will replace Drogba wages. Like i said the cost of the player doesn't matter, it's the wages that counts. If we buy Hazard for 32mil, we will be paying Lille 6mil per year.. it won't be 32mil when it shows on our costs next year.
I find this quite pathetic if I'm honest, I don't support Chelsea for any of the reasons above, I support Chelsea because they are my local team and the team my family support. My point is, don't criticise another team's fans of not attending games when you don't attend United games yourself. I didn't go to the semi either, simply because me or my Dad coudln't affor to travel up north after a bit of a culture shock when our ticket prices rocketed. I went to the final though and what a day out that was
Yes, 100% certain the will kick Italian teams out. Infact I suspect Italian football will be a target of Uefas for the time being. The only team I would have doubt over Platini kicking out is PSG but thats because its his favourite club. Even Real are not safe if they tried to push it. Anyway, Anzhi will be the first club banned as they are not much of a club and it will allow Uefa to show they mean business while not targeting the Chelseas, Reals, Inters of the world right away. A warning shot if anything.
Possibly but depends how your new team ( essentially what you will have next season/season after ) performs from the off.
I'm not so sure they will kick out the Italian teams as all UEFA cares about is money. Milan/Inter has a huge fan base and if Platinikicks them out it will have a big effect.
The italian teams having huge fan bases is a myth now. A decade ago yes but on a worldwide scale the likes of City and yoiurselves have helped take fans away from the likes of Inter and Ac milan who are frankly just 2 of 18 Serie A sides on the slide. New corruption case ongoing will further the slide for italian football. A few points on Italian football. No club fills its stadium, ever Only Ultras go to the games of some teams, one club was forced by its fans to strip out of the kit for losing a game. The mafia are highly involved meaning money doesnt remain in the game but goes to crime. No benefit for Uefa. Italian football needs FFP to ban its clubs. Thats the only way to save the game over there. To take all clubs down to a level that makes mafia involvement and Ultras dictating what happens less lucrative.
Back to FFP rules you have got to remember that we are aloud to ignore wages of a player (first 2 monitoring years) if they signed their contract before 2010. If you look at the players, most of them are the highest earners of the team - Cole, Essien, Lampard, Mikel, Terry etc. This will total more then £40mil per season!! If you include the £41.8Mil exceptional expenses which should not return for the first monitoring period, meaning that we actually looks in very good shape for the 2011/2012 season figures. This is not including all of the player sales that we did aswell.
You didn't offend me shwan I was just responding to what you said about the lack of Chelsea fans buying semi final tickets, just explained my own situation and excuse for not going to it .
Thanks for the links again. Once again you've actually shown that we will be absolutely fine as nearly all out 'losses' are not counted under FFP. You're very good at helping us out. Cheers
I agree, you are acting dumb. FFP will effect the Chavs, just admit it, as sticking your head in the sand will not hide the fact your team are a walking time bomb that will explode with ££££, and Uefa will do everything to make English clubs suffer.
Mate ive spent time on every continent except Australasia an antarctica, both business and pleasure..... You want to make outlandish statements, you better to know how to back it up.... if you have nothing clever to say stay Mute.....shwan.......lol
I think it's naive to think FFP will ever be rigidly enforced. There will be endless loopholes and accounting methods that will get teams around it.
