The Prophet Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 (edited) Ah Chelsea those cheeky chappies at Stamford Bridge. Backed by JP Morgan and the Bank of America, splashing over a quarter of a billion on first team players and hoovering up every youth prospect going. They're good lads though, they didn't ruin football like the Saudis. Edited December 24, 2022 by The Prophet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football finance expert Dr Rob Wilson of Sheffield Hallam University said: ‘In layman’s terms, the £4.25billion sale price of Chelsea could have wiped out the debt and losses that had been accumulated at the club over the last 20-odd years so essentially, Chelsea then start at zero base under the terms of FFP. Whereas a club like Arsenal, for example, who are consistently owned, cannot write off that debt repayment and those losses in the same way so it frees up cash.’ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The money doesn’t go to Abramovich though, does it? Plus the sale price included a set amount for redeveloping the ground (£1.5bn or something similar?), so I’d presume that just gets ploughed into the club.

Anyway, Chelsea have taken on £850m of debt since they were taken over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit- nevermind, found it: “Chelsea’s new owners are raising roughly UK£800 million (US$957 million) of debt as they bid to reshape the running of the English soccer giants, according to the Financial Times (FT). The consortium led by US billionaire Todd Boehly completed its UK£4.25 billion (US$5.08 billion) takeover of the Premier League club at the end of May. The group is now looking to implement a financial plan to boost the Blues’ operations and update the Stamford Bridge stadium. Bank of America and JPMorgan are among the banks said to be involved with the financing. The financing arrangements consist of a roughly UK£300 million (US$359 million) revolving credit facility and a UK£500 million (US$598 million) term loan. This would eclipse the reported US$650 million raised by City Football Group (CFG), the owner of English soccer champions Manchester City, back in July 2021 to invest in its network of clubs. As part of the consortium’s UK£4.25 billion Chelsea takeover, UK£1.75 billion (US$2.09 billion) was allocated to invest in the club, including players, talent academies and the stadium. The new loan would reportedly form part of the commitment, while the revolving credit facility is for working capital purposes. The investment pledge was critical to meeting the terms set by Chelsea’s previous owner Roman Abramovich, who put the West London club up for sale after Russia invaded Ukraine. The UK government sanctioned Abramovich in March, accusing him of close links to Vladimir Putin. The terms of the sale also included restrictions on debt levels to protect the club. According to the FT, Chelsea will not bear any of the interest expense associated with the debt because of the structure of the financing and all proceeds will go into the business.” Edited December 25, 2022 by Manxst Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
