in all seriousness though RA was well before ffp? and theyve been pretty much self sufficient for ages now buying squad after squad of top youth and selling them for good money to fund the first team purchases.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Indeed, they are extremely well run now and a model to most clubs. Last summer they made about £90m from Abraham & Tomori (both academy) and Zouma (bought aged 19), and regularly make 10s of millions from the sale of academy players.
I think their average net spend over the last 5 years or so is about £25m which is about a third of City & United.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Spurs could do something similar but we seem to romatic about keeping academy kids. We persevere far too long with some of them - Winks, Tanganga, CCV. The club seems to hope they turn into the next Kane or King rather than recognising when to cash in
They haven’t ever been self sufficient under Abramovich.
I don't think Chelsea need to be concerned with FFP. They are for more likely to be concerned with who the next buyer is.
I would be worried with a Glazer Man Utd type takeover where the club and its supporters are saddled with the costs and burden of covering all the value it built for itself but someone else owns it.
Best not to allow financial technicalities to get in the way of club rivalry.
i dont know why they were banned from transfer windows was this FFP? but they seem to be one of the few rich clubs to be properly sanctioned for signing players.
As Darren said, ffp doesn’t take into account debt, it takes into account the clubs +/- for a set timeframe.
RA looks to be getting his money back as part of the sale of the club, as opposed to claiming his loans back from the club (which would trigger ffp).
Wonder if we can talk Mike Ashley into buying them ?

Lewis should finally do some good in his cesspit of an existence and buy the club by selling two of his super yachts and then stripping it of all its assets

Ho ho ho this is a new one
Looking forward to all the reports back from those here who think that any wrongdoing has concerned.
I'm sure the FA, PL and UEFA will have plenty to say on the matter and you can all post your replies from them and what they say they'll do about it on this article over the coming days and weeks

Tbh most billionaires are more like Mike Ashley than Roman Abramovich. There's a reason why the rich stay rich. Abramovich was the exception, not the rule.

If you can't see how Chelsea winning a second CL title has upset the balance of power in Europe, then you;re beyond hope.

i dont know why they were banned from transfer windows was this FFP? but they seem to be one of the few rich clubs to be properly sanctioned for signing players.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Think that was because we offered contracts to players below the legal age

You'd better write to your local MP, the FA as well as the Premier League if you have concerns.
Or you can just keep your weak theories based on little to no evidence on a small football forum where the less people see it the better for you.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What is this shіt.
This is not a 'weak theory based on little to no evidence' as you put it.
Abramovich DID give £1.5bn in 'loans' to Chelsea and HAS said they no longer need to be repaid. This being the case means that £1.5b has become a huge gift and that DOES breach FFP rules.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Happy to learn about this; can you explain how?

Didn't know the latter two were governed by age based regulation
RA said the net proceeds will go to war charity.
How many of you thickos think he will write off £1.8B?
He is a businessman. Anyone would want their loan repaid in full.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
But Abramovich confirmed in his statement that he will not be seeking reimbursement for the £1.5bn that he’s owed, agreeing instead to write the debt off.
‘I will not be asking for any loans to be repaid. This has never been about business nor money for me, but about pure passion for the game and club,’ said Abramovich.
I'm not saying this will happen btw.
Maybe he will pay off the loan out of the sale of the club. Who knows?

Quite a few Spurs ja606ers in particular seem to have missed this. Then again most of them are sandy.
Chelsea fans do lap up Roman’s PR.

That’s basically what he said, he will skim the 1.5bn off the top - which would help you massively with ffp
