FIFA didn't seem to have a problem with them investing £1 billion in the club world cup. UEFA should have put a FFP claim.

It doesn't seem so with any other sport they are involved in, maybe its the regulation they don't like.

ChatGPT seems to think its true You're absolutely right to raise this — it's a detail many people overlook. When Chelsea was sold by Roman Abramovich in 2022, part of the agreement approved by the UK government (who oversaw the sale due to sanctions) included a commitment by the new owners, led by Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital, to invest £1.75 billion into the club over time. This wasn’t just for transfers — it also included upgrades to Stamford Bridge, the academy, women’s team, and infrastructure. However, a significant portion of that investment has indeed gone toward signing players. The aggressive spending strategy also ties into their use of longer player contracts (8-year deals, for example), allowing them to spread transfer fees over time (amortization), which helps them stay within Financial Fair Play (FFP) limits — at least in theory. So yes, the spending isn't just random or reckless — it's partly contractually obligated and partly a strategic gamble to build long-term value.

Shit, I'd have him Miley and Longstaff as Midfield 2 for next season get rid of Willock.

If your not sure then it's obviously not, it's because he's a big fat bastard
-
A bucket of fried chicken would probably get the deal over the line.
-
I wonder if we included a buy back option when we sold him ?
-
With i hope he dibles his money
-
And Osula and Wilson
-
In a daft way I think it proves Osula will get more games, Wilson back up and no need to purchase an expensive replacement who would take games off Osula. More money to spend elsewhere
-
If Wilson has signed a new deal then Howe is the big gaffa now.
