no need to stutter mate, i heard you first time. you cant even buy success

shankspony

you come across as a level headed liverpool fan you're one a select few.

Mr Chelsea.
I try to be but i have my moments of madness like everyone.

no need to stutter mate, i heard you first time. you cant even buy success
----------------------

I've never heard of a sentence long stutter you tool

I believe it's called repetition.

Unfortunately when dealing with people with inferior knowledge of football and life in general repetition is a must.

You did buy success

There you have your answer as to why Chelsea and City are doing what they're doing. Football is a totally different animal than what it was before.

You're just contradicting yourself again. You say you need to spend money in order to make money but at the same time you're effectively saying, its not ok for city and chelsea to do the same
--------------

Where's the contradiction mate? I agree that you have to spend money to make money now now, but we, along with other clubs, have always had an underlying strategy to be sustainable. The money we’re spending is money we’re earning. The money you’re spending is not what you’re earning. Did you make another operating loss last year and yet you still spent £70m on two players. We've spent £100 million but we've made more than that if you include match receipts, TV money, selling players, sponsors, kit deals, marketing deals. Chelsea are making a loss yet still spending. How are you going to make back the £500 million you've spend in the last 7 years.

The difference is that your success has been bought and not earned!

The money you’re spending is not what you’re earning

-------------------

They just cannot understand this simple answer.

What's worse is that there's a few more of them desperately trying to convince others that their success was not built on the cash of Roman.

Chelsea FC = tarnished

i cant argue with you about our losses. they are what they are. what i will say is our spending may have been wild and player salaries gone a tad out of control but in the long run its helped us in terms of trophies, more revenue streams, more worldwide commercial opportunites. its only a matter of time anyway before we move from red to black but it is what it is. i dont see that how that should be used as a beating stick for chelsea and city. we just had to do what's necessary to bridge the gap between ourselves and united domestically.

lets be fair, if roman turned up at anfield back in 2003 and said he wants to bring home the league title to you, would you stand up in protest and say "no thanks roman, we want slow organic growth here mate, take your success with you elsewhere"

This Mr Chelsea has got to be one of the most ridiculed posters on here.

I'm guessing he might disappear again soon after this mauling.

If in doubt, make something up

mr chelsea, what you say is a fair enough. I wouldn't turn my nose at that sort of money either. It wasn't so long ago that we were calling for a rich sheikh to get us out of our dire situation.

The money invested in your team has given you trophies, more worldwide exposure etc etc but the problem I see for you is that you'll have to keep investing. Drogba, Anelka, Terry, Lampard, Cole are all over 30. Essien is injured again. These players are the spine of your team. I don't know much about your youth system but from what I do know I don't see that many youth players who are going to really step up. McEachran looks good and so does Sturridge. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. So that means you'll have to keep buying to build a new team, spending more money that you haven't earned. I see that as a problem. Any other business run that way would go under. I remember Kenyon saying about seven years ago that you'll be making money in 5 years. That hasn't happened and I don't see it happening any time soon either.

If, for example Abramovich was to have a boating accident tomorrow, that's it, bye bye Chelsea, because your current model isn't sustainable. But that wouldn't happen to Arsenal or Liverpool because we're not spending more than we're making. Even though Man Utd have debt it won't happen to them either because they are such an established brand they will always be bought. Would someone else be willing to spend £600-700m for Chelsea with a 43,000 seater stadium. I'm not sure they would. The oil barons and oligarchs didn't want to touch us and we're in a similar boat to your re. debt and small stadium.

This is of course my opinion only. I'm no financial expert and I'm sure that Chelsea have it in hand, but this is what it looks like to an outsider.

At the end of the day most of us are only winding you up about Chelsea's spending, as you do to us about our history. The PL has become more competetive since Chelsea and Man City splashed the cash. As a Liverpool fan I was getting tired of Man Utd's domination. If we can't win it then anybody but united will do me.
