When asked about Kane Pep said in interview today that he wasnt going to talk about another club's player (although he didn't have a problem with doing it last week). My gut feeling is that the deal is agreed if Spurs can get replacements over the line before window shuts.

I'd say they'd be in Liverpools league if Abamovic sold up. Not mega rich but enough income to keep them competitive.
And they'd carry on investing money in the right way, 1st team first everything else 2nd.

You'd be wrong.

Before RA arrived, Chelsea were facing insolvency. If reports are to be believed, they were hours away from it.

They have never been in Liverpool's league and, take the regular £200M+ cash injections from their owner, they'd never be able to compete for the highest honours. No honours, massively depleted fanbase. They were on a par with West Ham, insofar as their following was concerned, pre Abramovic and the CL appearances/wins his cash afforded them.

Liverpool have become far more frugal of late, since their current owners took over really. They've spent what they've earned, with the Coutinho money spent very wisely and giving them just what they needed to win them the PL and CL. Before that, they were pretty poorly run, but they have a revenue stream afforded to them by a very large and, frankly, fanatical fanbase that isn't limited to just Liverpool. It's like putting on that Red shirt turns you into a raving lunatic!

But Chelsea would dance around the mid table without RA or a similar Billionaire, IMO that is, they simply do not have that hardcore fanbase. Once they start disappearing from CL, the gloryhunters they're inundated with will jump ship, the sponsors will do the same and their revenue drops even further.

Wouldn't all that be wonderful hey?

Totally agree. It’s as good as done let’s be honest. When does Pep ever talk about transfers like he did the other day ? Never. I guess we will find out Sunday. If Kane plays no part then 100% it’s done. If he plays, then it’s not as close as we think. I personally think it’s done and the whole saga stinks
