FFP to my knowledge at least the prem version is amortised so they can take the £600-700m net spend and spread it over 5-8 seasons.
Obviously these huge contracts would fuck any normal club long term however Chavs have been able to dump large numbers of player in the Saudi league. Just so happens that Clearlake Capital (main investor in Chelsea) is majority Saudi money.
This could be a plan by Chelsea to spend freely then dumb all their players above market price on the Saudi league to get around FFP that way. The alternative is that they don’t care about FFP and will just take the fines.

FIFA recognise UEFA as the official European cf, that isn’t changing. UEFA set the qualification tournaments for the World Cup, that isn’t changing.
fifa have already opened the World Cup up to more teams to capitalise on revenue, sponsorship and broadcast. There is no other incentive for fifa to rock the boat.
like LIV, Saudi can offer more money and invite teams into a ‘special super cup’, similar to the super league, that is likely to happen but outside of national league and cf competitions. It might actually be like a world club cup. It would draw massive interest and it’s likely each team would receive £10m just for playing with the winners netting 100m. It would have huge appeal from a broadcast, sponsorship and betting rights POV.
now that would scare fifa…
Maybe stick to posting links nobody gives a shit about.
Only insane people think that.I thought Conte wasn't backed?
Or people who have an agenda...
Is this the best path you could find?
Good news, I really hope he gets a chance to shine.
Glazers are borrowing at one rate and charging ManU at a high interest rate (eg Glazers borrow at 8% and charge ManU 11%, pocketing the 3% difference)
Glazers also charge ManU 'management and other fees'
Amended it with some other details for you.
Trix has already said on SC though that we'll avoid Toney once we do our due diligence.
Hang on.
WELCOME IVAN.
Part of me thinks we will go for ferguson at brighton. Read yesterday were going to smash our record to get another striker. Still want orban though.
It's not really, he's not going to get gametime and he has to play to develop, after a pretty uninspiring loan spell. We'll loan him out once we buy Orban.
Good perspective.
Serious question - is that the kind of club people would like us to be?
Off topic btw is fulham cup game on tv?
Either Orban ain't happening or Scarlet gets ZERO minutes.....
Not sure how you don't see that Lloris is gone. He's played his last match and is not involved in any capacity at all. He will be off before the window closes.
No I would like use to be able to be more active in the market (ie don’t leave holes in the team) and have a clearer long term direction so called football philosophy but in no way does that mean spending £1bn in 3 windows.
We could fix most of the team with 3-5 players from here and that would be less than £200m (far less given Kane and soon to be Hojbjerg sales so what £50m on top). Our net in all would be probably about Arsenals or just a bit less to fix most of it.
Chelsea are like a 100m runner who openly take steroids before the race. There is a huge middle ground between Joe Lewis tight with cash and Chav dodgy oil funds.
