Chelsea Money Spent since Todd  landed: £966.9m

Money Received – £274.4m

Net Spend – £692.4m

 

Newcastle United Money Spent – £296.7m

Money Received – £42.2m

Net Spend – £254.5m

 

Basically shows how they're able to spend so much.

 

The 274m they've taken in will all have counted immediately as incoming funds, whereas the 966m will have been amortized over five years (or more with some of the earlier deals). It's not quite as simple as dividing that figure by 5 and getting just under 200m spent, but it's a useful rough guide.

 

Of course, they have to keep selling players in future years to keep balancing out their spending, but with the number of young players they have there that will be a piece of piss for them.

 

Meanwhile, we've only spent 300m but even dividing that by 5 and getting 60m it's still spending more than the 42 we've brought in.

 

As much as from a purely footballing perspective it absolutely sucks, selling Minteh on for 40m (and having loads more Minteh types on the books for future deals) is a bit of no-brainer if it's at all possible.

£22m is an absolute fucking bargain for Hutchinson. Only hope is Ipswich go down so he can be picked up at same price at worse.

Chelsea have about 300 million per year more revenue as well according to Deliotte.

Of course, Chelsea is as appealing as it gets for any player. Despite this I stand by my initial statement. 

If I could get paid enough in a month to set me for life I'd be signing for Chelsea too

Yeah looking at the figures in detail at the bottom they go up to the end of 22/23 to be fair, so presumably this years accounts haven't been finalised.

 

I imagine a bit less commercial and matchday revenue this year. They did however sell 200 million euros worth of players this season which will more than make up for it.

They should change the rule so the length of contract they had left when you sell is also spread like signings. Maybe an extra chunk for sell on clauses for these cunts

Sounds like we'd need more accountants and it would annoy Jim Ratcliffe. I'm in.

On a whim I thought 'I wonder who Del Boy supports?'

 

According to wikipedia: "In 'The Long Legs of the Law' he implies that he supports Chelsea."

 

Quelle surprise.

Sort of makes some sense. Family probably should have been Millwall but he had ideas above his station.

It's since the yanks took over the majority of clubs all this shit started happening. Before long they'll have 14 clubs run by fellow yanks and they'll do even more damage. 

 

 

American ownership will be the death knell for football as we know it in this country. We'll have all-star games and ridiculous fixtures being played over there within a very short space of time. Then you'll get 'team London Lions versus team North East Spartans' or some iteration.

Only realistic danger that isn't a part of the"fuckin' forrins" hyperbole is those owners taking their toys with them to fuck off to play in the a non-relegation "super league" with their other rich mates to protect the value of their investment portfolios.

 

The way the world is trending at the moment, sure, there's a chance we'll end up seeing the Community Shield turn into even more of a glorified sideshow pre-season friendly than it already is by ending up being played at a venue outside the UK. 

 

Other than the actual, real, threat of a breakway "super league" - there just isn't a realistic cause for concern that foreign ownership will ruin football in England. In fact, if I was asked to choose one club in the PL at present whose owners would be most likely to push for scrapping tradition if it meant they could host a cup final or PL games in their "home country" - my answer would be Newcastle. 

 

The "threat" isn't American club owners - it's club owners to whom the only thing that matter is turning a profit. Our years under Mike Ashley, an English owner, is the perfect example of how the game could one day actually end up in ruins - 5-6 clubs at the top have rich enough owners to compete between themselves for the league title whilst the rest of the teams are there to make up the numbers and turn a profit for their owners by being "a part of the Premier League", with no ambition or intent to even try challenging for honors.

 

Not woken up properly yet so my apologies if this post is just a complete mess of stray thoughts that doesn't make any sense  Halfway through I had forgotten what my initial point was meant to be, as well as why I started typing a response to @toon25's post in the first place...
