Chelsea FC, WTF is going on at that club? They have spent over a billion in a little over 12 months, finished bottom half last season, expect much the same this season. Our of control owner just buying any player that moves. Completely clueless, no strategy, it can only end in tears.
Now I would be very happy if Chelsea implode. Problem is they are inflating transfer prices for every other club, which cannot be good for the game. Just broken the British Transfer record for another pretty well unknown player, shortly after breaking it previously for another unknown player.
Not sure what they are actually trying to prove, but it is only going to end one way.
Are Chelsea going to get investigated soon? Are they doing underhand payments to incoming players? Was the club sold very quickly to hide previous indiscretions from the previous owner? All questions that should have alarm bells ringing throughout football if standards of decency are to be upheld.
Are Chelsea FC everything that is wrong with modern football? Discuss.
Away from chatting Spurs for a bit

Sandy doesn’t speak for the vast majority of Spurs fans by the way. I would say a large percentage of us are sick to death of Levy and ENIC. We would welcome a sugar daddy takeover our club trust me.

Some pretty big accusations here Sandy. If you think bribery or wrongdoing has occurred then you should send your evidence to both the Premier League and FA immediately. Alternatively you can keep making stuff up on an internet forum. Oh yeah you're doing that already.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't need to Chelsea are still under investigation from the Abramovich era. I am sure the authorities have more than enough evidence to come down very severely on CFC.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Actually they are not, the current regime raised a concern to uefa about some irregularities of the previous regime, their investigation has been concluded. The premeir league have said they will look at it but that's all we know so far. It's unlikely they will take further action unless there is something illegal involved. You can cling on to that for as long as you like but it's just another straw to clutch at for now.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
FA will not be interested in illegal activities (HMRC might), but they will be concerned with PL FFP rules, and if they have broken these prepare to be fined or worse regardless of change of ownership.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We haven't, the evidence is there for them, we submitted it. It should be clear enough for anyone to take immediate action on.

Nope, your owners are. Have plenty of money to compete but choose not too because they couldn't give two flying f**ks about Spurs or you as a fan beyond what the club can do for them. The epitome of the ownership that treat you like a investment rather than seeing themselves as custodians, and on top of that regularly insult your intelligence with the most transparent PR rubbish possible on a regular basis.
Our owners are FAR from perfect, or even what I'd consider to be good for football, but at the very least their motivations are aligned with the fans even if it's not for entirely the same reasons.

Don't blame you, it's the only way to compete in the modern era. Not all sugar daddy owners are good though of course.

Joining the party late but Chelsea aren’t cheating, they are using a risky strategy with amortisation that could very well blow up in their face. Alternatively, it could be seen as a stroke of genius in years to come.
Bottom line though is that next year their net transfer position will start at minus £135m based on their amortisation - and it’s going to be like this for the next 5-8 years. Champions league qualification will be a must for them

ENIC are chancers that have made a killing buying Spurs for cheap and now set to reap £££.
They have somehow managed to brainwash some fans like Sandy into thinking they have done such a good job it is astounding.
What a complete joke.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You're just lowering yourself to Sandy's simple levels now.
Man City owners bought them on the cheap and would make £bns in profit if they sold. Same with Roman if sanctions hadnt kicked in and the same will be with NUFC.
The big difference is that ENIC run Spurs like a business like 90% of other clubs in the league, like Arsenal like Liverpool and even like Man UItd. We spend what we earn like these other teams....the likes of City have CFC have been spending well beyond their means for ages and i suspect it will catch up with them, either financially or legally!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Er excuse me what do you mean by lowering yourself to Sandy`s simple levels? Not nice. Or don`t you think I should have an opinion?
Oh and by the way you still choose to post on a Sandy article.

Cannot believe so many of our fans want out club to turn into Chelsea Mark II.
Unbelievable how money turns supporters in the modern era into anythin goes as long is it gains an advantage, however dodgy it may be.

Thing is there’s nothing stopping spurs doing what we’re doing
There’s also nothing stopping spurs or anyone else doing what we do with our academy and making millions in loan fees every year as again easy income
Other clubs just choose not to
E.G we could say how is it fair Spurs can host NFL games and get paid a ton of income / fees for doing it
We don’t get to host NFL games or the majority of other PL Clubs, so how is it fair spurs get paid lots of money to host that goes in their income allowing them to spend more than other clubs?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Spurs don't cheat.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
But Sandy Spurs have cheated. Yet again Sandy is wrong time after time.
We were not done for making underhand payments to players like Spurs in the 1994/1995 season, deducted 12 points and thrown out of FA cup.
Luckily for you the 12 points and FA cup ban were removed wrongly in my opinion but they upped the fine to over a million pounds from 600,000
So learn your own clubs history before you start throwing stones. I thought you were the Spurs expert , after all your supposed to be this 70 year old man.
And again if there is no rules in place when we started doing it re length of contracts, how can we be bending them?. You cannot bend a rule that is not in place. You and others supporters are just jealous that your board did not think of it, its genius.
Yet again Sandy your psychotic hatred of Chelsea has blinded you again.
This is just football, but the hatred you have is seriously worrying, you need help.
And as per my last post , your wrong yet again.
How many more times are you going to make yourself look a bell 888 end
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Case was thrown out mate. That`s why the points deduction was rescinded. The fine was more a way for the bigwigs to save face on what they knew was an injustice.
No way will Chelsea get away with cheating in the modern era. FFP rules have been brought in for a reason. To stop clubs like City and Chelsea using money as a weapon to gain an advantage.
