  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  4. Chelsea only have - Cole Palmer Christopher Nkunku Kendry Páez Tyrique George Mykhaylo Mudryk Pedro Neto Noni Madueke Raheem Sterling João Félix Nicolas Jackson Liam Delap Armando Broja Marc Guiu David Datro Fofana Seems a bit light to me

  10. 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
