Is he injured or is the club not playing him cos he’s playing hardball with his contract? 🤔 Haven’t seen any photos or footage of him recovering. 

Talk about tinfoil hat, bet you think the earths flat as well

Sela would be in there - an increase of about £20m.  No other significant commercial income increases.  CL money too, an increase of c.£35m.  Each league position is worth around £3m in prize money, so there’s a drop off. 

 

The club turned over £250m in 22/23.  So around £300m is about right - and given the lack of CL football next season, the adidas deal means that we’ll likely remain at roughly that figure.

 

FFP rules next year are transfers and wages = 70% of turnover.   Our book of amortised transfers will be at roughly £90m, as is our current wage bill.  Which leaves roughly £30m to play with, unless we sell (Lewis Hall will get added of course).

 

Back of fag packet stuff, but it won’t be far off.

 

This is why Howe was talking about not expecting big deals in the summer.  He wasn’t lying.  But if we bring additional revenue through sales, at least that will be churned back in. 
 

edit: £30m would allow us to buy two c.£50m players including wages of £100k+ per week if amortised over five years.  So we will be able to spend.  But bringing in money from sales will allow us to spend a lot more. 

 

 

 

I thought our wage bill was around the £180m mark

Wouldnt the Champs league money be in there ? What sponsorships did we have for this season that wouldnt have been in the previous years accounts ?

CL money would already be counted as we only played in the group stages

They’re worth what they can get in the market.  Joelinton is on a centre forward’s wage, remember.  And as good as he’s been since changing role, I’d be amazed if he could command what Bruno is on at another club. 
 

I’d be happy to see him stay, but not at any cost.  

This ^^^

He's worth the money Bruno is on right now, Bruno is still underpaid though.

Disagree

Gordon starts

Barnes benched

I would expect that TBH, 60min mark move Gordon up top and bring Barnes on for Isak to manage him

He wants the same money as Bruno, and the club will not pay him... they say.

He’s not worth the same money as Bruno TBF 

Unreal tonight, needs to stay in left centre back

Please not a hat trick of ACL injuries…

It was his ankle on Saturday, possibly ligament damage

The usual people on Twitter who get team news correct are now saying it’s not Isak, Bruno, Willock or Schar. I assume at this point it’s Tino.

I’m thinking it’s more Dubz, he had to get schar to take a GK at the end of the West Ham game, and was hobbling at the end of the game.

He's not, that's why it's a loan to buy. Though it's actually fair to question whether it helps them in June since in theory that should be a July 1 purchase. 

They wrote it against this years books, go back and have a look and they will lose massively on Lukaku

Hall, Maatsen and Lukaku's release clause could get them there. Then there's James, Chalobah, and Broja. There's definitely a possibility they can do this while holding Gallagher.

Hall was against last years P&S for Chelsea

They have plenty of players to sell off who others will willingly take off their hands. They'll be able to comply due to a firesale but could well leave them weaker on the pitch.

 

 

 

Don’t count on that, most of the players they can sell would be sold at a loss so would have an even greater impact to FFP and P&S rules, if it’s true that they have to raise over £100m to comply with P&S they don’t have that many homegrown players left to make that sum, apparently spurs pulled out of the £60m Connor Gallagher deal in January because they think they will get him for under £50m in June when Chelsea are desperate, that only leaves sicknote Reese James with any true value.

Played far to much imo. Not going to say its because of that, but it wouldnt surprise me.

This, wasn’t miggy sent home from international’s last year because of muscle fatigue, it wouldn’t surprise me if it comes out later this week that he’s out for the season.

Guessing or reported 

Think it might be time to look elsewhere in the summer, the guy just doesn’t seem to learn, going from an excellent performance against wolves and using the break away well , to going back to, being as open as Katie Price’s legs on a Friday night, Chelsea have struggled all season against teams that play like we did against wolves, yet we open up and have our belly’s tickled. 

Fucking Longstaff, just fuck off you plank 

Howe seems incapable of learning, why the fuck would you change how we played against wolves, back to type. I’m getting closer and closer to thinking we need a change in the summer 

The sooner Dubravka fucks of the better, cunts got smaller arms than Jordan Pickford 

Fucking joke man 

And that’s the end of our season

We've only got 4-5 players on more than that. 

6 or 7 at my count, and that will double next season
