    “Chelsea [was] frankly an asset, a business that was not terribly well managed on the football side, sporting side or promotional side”

    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

  3. So if we didn’t win the CWC we would be massively cooked? They left it up to chance 🤣 ?

  4. 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

    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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

    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?
