Chelsea have publicly announced that for the financial year 2024-25 they made a pre-tax loss of £262.4m, the largest in English football history, despite revenue of nearly half a billion (£490.9m). Full accounts have not yet been published.

is this with or without cwc earnings
We knew this already – this came out last month
“Chelsea [was] frankly an asset, a business that was not terribly well managed on the football side, sporting side or promotional side”
Thanks again BlueCo !

Our owners who only care about making money are also really bad at that.
Financial masterclass

Life as a Chelsea fan these days…
I thought the whole idea of the project was to buy young players for profit so we stay on top of the financial books. If the board happens to be absolutely terrible at managing the clubs finances how do we expect them to get the actual football part correct when they have absolutely no clue about the game
So if we didn’t win the CWC we would be massively cooked? They left it up to chance 🤣 ?

Need to see a breakdown on what we’re spending money. Legit don’t understand how it’s so high, even if we’re spreading the cost of transfers over years
Maybe would have been nice to have a sponsor on the kits earlier…
No club World Cup , or CL football this season , we could legitimately break this record next year too let’s goooo
Biggest financial losses in English history you’ll never sing that.
You know….the funniest thing in the world would be if turned out that it really all was a genuine attempt at making a competitive football team and they’re just that bad at it.
Ah but somes clearlake schill said clearlake know what they are doing with this strategy to buy young ass players while now they are digging Chelsea debt.
The deadline for full accounts to be published was yesterday – you can check them here: [https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/01965149/filing-history](https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/01965149/filing-history)
Last years were published on 4th April. It will be for the year ending 30th June 2025, so will not include much of the Club Wolrd Cup earnings.
For any non Brit reading, all companies over a certain turnover have to file their P&L with Companies House in the UK which is freely accessible, so you can see how pretty much any significant business int he UK is doing.
Hey at least they spent the money well, right
These guys can’t do anything right it’s hilarious atp

Eghbali masterclass

Didn’t they already announce this? Months ago.
Roman left them a debt free club. Just astonishing how they’ve been running it since then.
At this point you start to think whether they’re just doing this on purpose, trying to run us into administration
This is why I’ll never subscribe to all the financial gaslighting by these owners. They waste so much money. So many useless players they’ve signed have already been sold for a loss.
25/26 is going to look quite good, but 26/27 is likely going to be a massive loss
Hasn’t it already been said we knew we were breaching Uefa rules so we just wrapped up loads of other things in this financial year in an agreement.
I.e we took huge hits on player amortisation to make the future years look better?
Venture Capital at work, folks.
