Not sure they've tried hard enough. When Chelsea exploited the rules by handing out 9 year deals the PL waited until the transfer window closed to insert a rule, but even then you still have them handing out 7 year deals now so not sure they did too much to stop that loophole, maybe it should be capped at 5 or something? Also this business of selling club assets to companies owned by the same people is still happening now so that hasn't been shut down at all. It'll be interesting to see how the PL responds when Villa or Everton do it. Compare all this to when we got bought over, they rushed a rule through about third party sponsors so the Saudis couldn't pump money into the club. We haven't seen anywhere near that enthusiasm to stop Chelsea bending the rules. Edited June 30, 2025 by Decky Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not talking about our perception, which is clearly 3D. But there are only 2 dimensions on a normal chess board, right? Every position in the game can be expressed using an X and Y value, therefore I'd have to agree that it's 2D. There could be an argument for the dimension of time, but we don't typically include time when determining what is 2D or 3D. You could also argue the Knight jumps over pieces in a 3D way, but this is an illusion, in reality it warps between coordinates. Long story short, Interpolic is now banned. He had a good run.

Loki679 Posted June 30, 2025 Share Posted June 30, 2025 You wouldn't be able to observe something 2 dimensional, it wouldn't exist for us in our universe. Having said that, IP is bang out of order so #team2D. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted June 30, 2025 Share Posted June 30, 2025 PL voted on the selling assets thing - I don’t even think it got to a vote. Didn’t have enough support to go to a vote. It’s open season. Except for us. But keep blaming Chelsea and the rules. Amortisation is capped at 5-years btw. The 7-year deal thing is part of a broader strategy Chelsea have to stockpile talent.

We've both mentioned in the past we should have a training ground and kit sponsor but as for the type of thing that will bring in between Villas 50mill for their women's team and Chelseas 200mill, Im struggling.

The College Dropout Posted June 30, 2025 Share Posted June 30, 2025 I don't believe that the club doesn't hold any assets that could be deemed semi-valuable... to sell to itself.
