Gallagher won’t go to Everton (and they won’t sell Gallagher to NUFC), so they need to sell Jorginho to Arsenal? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea will be absolutely desperate to shift players so everyone else should look at that and realise they’re in a position of strength I'm all for people taking advantage of their mental behaviour, but why do we think they'd be desperate to shift players anyway? They've obviously got a creative accountancy plan in place already, and don't seem to care that much about money. I guess they can't register them all, but I doubt they'll care about letting a few Ross Barkley types rot in the reserves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Chelsea seems like an absolutely awful place to be. You can go from a big player with a future to becoming instantly expendable within 24 hours, then if someone doesn't buy you you become important again but only if a third player can be brought in/out which means you're going to be sold regardless. Players are just pieces of meat, it's vile Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bonk Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 They're a culture-less football enterprise, @midds. It was the same, if not slightly less so under Abramovich, but much worse under Bohely, who's an absolute creep. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 It's like that scene in Moneyball where the deals get done over the phone and the players simply get told where they're going to be playing/living. May be accurate but it's stomach-churning how little of a shit the owners care about the players at their team, just moved around and exploited without a care in the world. It's actually disgusting what they're doing tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 It’s extremely damaging to them long-term. So many players’ careers will come to nothing there while Chelsea stack up enormous debts. They’re gross and I can’t wait for Boehly to fuck off and take his ‘human capital’ approach with him, the utter freak Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thirty years a ago they reached the milestone where one player at the New York Yankees was earning more money than the entire roster of another club. That has almost nothing to do with baseball's problems (or "problems" considering revenue of almost $11B last year). Also the issue in your last sentence is not the Yankees, but the cheap team. If the Premier League didn't have relegation then that would have been Mike Ashley's play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other team (most small market teams) cannot compete. Each team makes their own TV contracts for 162 games. There is no promotion/relegation. Those small market clubs are just there to make up the numbers. No reason for fans to care one way or another. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 What is the punishment for breaching ffp anyways, transfer ban? My theory was there was a pot of dodgy money involved in this takeover and let's say they had 12 months to spend a billion. I could imagine they would happily take the the hit of a 1 or 2 year transfer ban if it meant hoovering up most of Europe's top talent like they seem to be. Only surprise is that they didn't get a name striker in this window but they have Nkunku coming in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only surprise is that they didn't get a name striker in this window but they have Nkunku coming in the summer. I looked this up earlier. You may be right. Worth the risk, if they get a slap on the wrist. Anything more punitive and they take it to court. (Where they will win.) Quote Non-compliance with the regulations does not mean that a club will be excluded automatically, but there will be no exceptions. Depending on various factors (e.g. the trend of the break-even result) different disciplinary measures may be imposed against a club. There is a catalogue of measures: a) warning b) reprimand c) fine d) deduction of points e) withholding of revenues from a UEFA competition f) prohibition on registering new players in UEFA competitions g) restriction on the number of players that a club may register for participation in UEFA competitions, including a financial limit on the overall aggregate cost of the employee benefits expenses of players registered on the A-list for the purposes of UEFA club competitions h) disqualification from competitions in progress and/or exclusion from future competitions i) withdrawal of a title or award Edited January 30, 2023 by gazza ladra Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks a bit past it(think he was playing out of position when I watched Chelsea last to be fair), but that makes sense. I’d not bother offering him a new contract if I were them, could sign a younger player in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colos Short and Curlies Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 If you are not registered in a 25 man squad then you should be automatically available for a fee equal to one years salary. Selling club cannot refuse an offer at that level. exceptions for players under the age of 21. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
