Why?
The club has been used as a launderette for dirty money.
It's all over the news. Try reading a news paper or get a copy of Private Eye.
Why?
Just tells you how FFP works, there is so many loopholes for clubs to use, and this just shows you what Chelsea are without their owner, they will plummet if they go on the same way without his backing. Time for Chelsea to feel how it is to be us.The other thing I can't get my head around with these cheats is they hold The Premier League title the Champions league title and the Club World Cup.
They had a turnover of around 490m last year do good business in the transfer in the market selling players but STILL posted a loss of around 190m.
How does that work? It reeked way before his evil uncle decided to invade Ukraine. Ridiculous this was the straw.
New owners wont prop them up with loans and write off their debts the way RA did. In terms of Turnover theiy are not much bigger than we are
They were close to going under 20 years ago. It’s just who they are. There’s a lot of clubs that went under without a bonus 20 years of success before doing so. And their clubs were a lot less scummy than Chelsea*. I honestly don’t care if they go under. The whole club is a cesspit.
There's a huge amount of hypebole being thrown around at the moment. Just consider what happened to Glasgow Rangers in 2012, when they went into liquidation and had to reapply to join the low levels of the Scottish League. Was it really the end of Scottish football as we knew it? A brief glance at the current league table will show everyone that Rangers refound their level relatively quickly.
Lamont or David mellor?I've had it in for them ever since Norman Lamont and toffee nosed mc toff twat were in the Sunday people shagging in a Chelsea kit!
I'd say that is about six years of turnover for a Champions League team. They should have a transfer ban for that period in my view, otherwise they maintain an advantage over the rest of football with dirty oligarch money.Has it been explained how the 1.5B loan can be written off within the confines of FFP?
Norman Lamont was shagging David Mellor?Lamont or David mellor?
The sanctions on Anramovic don’t have an end date, only the special licence to operate until the 31st of May (which will allow Chelsea, current funds allowing, to complete the season) after which point the licence shall be reviewed by the Treasury. The sanctions on Abramovich themselves are a different matter to the licenceThe sanctions were only put in place yesterday for the rest of the season. It’s feasible nothing happens until then.
She hits this one right out of the park.Marina Hyde sticking the boot in too.
So Abramovich was on Team Putin the whole time. Who knew? | Marina Hyde
With the erstwhile Chelsea boss sanctioned, many feign surprise at his links to the Kremlin. Oh come on; we’ve been turning a blind eye for years, says Guardian columnist Marina Hydewww.theguardian.com
