The difference is Boehly is there to make money, Abramovich was not. He won't keep funnelling in the cash if the return on investment isn't there. We'll see, but Chelsea have been buying big and buying young talent for years, and Abramovich ran up a 1.6billion loan by the end.
We will have to wait and see but I don't think they are finished like many thought or hoped.
Even if RA had stayed the loan showed no sign of anything coming to an end success on the pitch had never been far away
 
I said before the new owners bought Chelsea that nothing would change at the club.
Yet many said their time was coming to an end and whilst RA legacy has now departed a new one will start up just as easily under these ones.

If someone wants to run a football club as a money making business, you don't buy one got 4 billion quid and inherit a squad full of some of highest paid players on the planet

There's more chance of Newcastle being run as a responsible business that grows slowly and organically. £300m vs £4bn
Let that sink in

Why has Boehly bought Chelsea then? Is the strategy pay what it takes to stay at the top to grow the club value, don't worry about making a profit. Because I guess, even running a 'loss' year after year, Abramovich must still have made plenty of money on his investment selling for what he did.
 
Perisic in with Udogie immediately sent out on loan is quite clever- by the time Udogie is Prem ready, Perisic may be declining.
With a little mentoring next season if Udogie came back to play.
:sonhmm:

Would be a lovely little surprise if we signed him. I wonder if Chelsea imminently getting Cucurella prompted us to pul the trigger - far less likely to gazump us now if they were interested.

I'm sure the timing of two deals are connected - we need to go now before Mancity (also in for Cucurella) have time to change their target to Udogie now they've lost
