Most of it minus X% brown envelope tax to the Tories.

It's mainly wages though
Wages and the fact that it was founded on the rulebreaking which saw them hit with a paltry 1 year trf ban...... Small price to pay for the amount of money that their academy has generated as a result.
And the fact that they'd already hoovered up most of the top talent available
...By virtue of exactly what was just described.
It's nothing to do with them having next level youth coaches, that's for damn sure.
Good anger porn for those so inclined tho.
The new owners won’t build a new stadium. Far too expensive and the current site isn’t big enough. The fact that they have asked after the Earls Court site also makes me wonder if they’ve run into problems with the Chelsea Pitch Owners. Why else would they be looking at alternative sites? They could always fuck off out of london and go groundshare with MK Dons!?!?

It's a hard one to call. I know a couple who are CPO shareholders, if the Earls Court thing is a goer then one is all for it the other is against it. In talking to them they say that the shareholders are split, and they are split even on the other options surrounding Stamford Bridge like they don't want to move away for the 4yrs proposed if they choose to redevelop it (but overwhelmingly they want to remain at The Bridge) OR they aren't in favour of the redevelopment stand by stand as this too would take close to a decade to achieve.
I've not paid any attention to this since Abranmovic left, other than discussing the time it will take and their absolute need to do this as they will get unhitched to the top 6 as we have been. But since this has come up I thought I'd take a look at earls Court Option. Firstly, I had no idea that there is no earls court anymore, this has simply passed me by. But I have to say I understand why it's come up as an option. It's close by and most importantly it's basically a cleared site!!! And not to mention it has 3 tube/train stations on its perimeter.
Home This is a link to The Earls Court Development Companies site. I went on their site and it's a standard property development site with big ideas about building communities blah, blah, blah. Without knowing anything about them I'd say I bet they would sell. If I owned this site as it is I would just sit on it and let any interested parties knock on the door and introduce themselves. if that happened to be a multi-billion dollar international consortium of swinging dicks then I'd put out a tweet saying "it's not for sale" and I would dangle this site under them like a piece of meat.
There isn't an alternative option but this one will cost a fortune to acquire. It would still have a ton of posh homeowners likely to object to Chavs pissing in their front gardens twice a week.
I have a ps3 for sale... Looking for £600
Just spoke to a CPO apparently happy to move to earls court is available (with pitch ownership transferring) anywhere else less so.
But they are building houses there
Good post. I hope the points you raise about this tosser get read by a wider group than this forum.
Yeah Earl’s Court hasn’t been there for ages. I drive past it virtually every month and there’s been now sign of development at all until recently when moves to start have begun. I’m not sure the current owners would sell though. I think they’ve rebuffed a few bids over the years and are pretty determined to build there but are having problems with the council but as usual these things usually get ironed out. Plus with the absolute need for housing in London I suspect the government would step in if the site was sold to a football club rather than providing thousands of new homes.
Earls Court developer butts heads with council over affordable homes
Proposals to regenerate the 40-acre Earls Court site have come under fire from Labour-run Hammersmith and Fulham Council for failing to meet their affordable homes target, sparking a potential major planning row.
www.propertyweek.com
Last week, the Earls Court Development Company, a joint venture between Delancey, APG and Transport for London, unveiled plans to create a 7.35m sq ft, mixed-use site including 4,500 homes (pictured), 35% of which would be affordable.
But the council said the scheme fails to meet its 50% affordable homes target set out in its Local Plan, a target that would create an extra 675 affordable homes if met by the Earls Court scheme.
A council spokesperson said there was “much we like about ECDC’s approach and many of their ideas” but added: “All successful developments in Hammersmith and Fulham will have a minimum of 50% genuinely affordable homes and we look forward to helping them deliver that.”
Plus they bought a huge site next door to unlock it only in November so don’t sound like someone who wants to sell up.
Delancey and TfL buy 15-acre depot to reboot Earls Court masterplan
Earls Court Partnership, a joint venture between Delancey and Transport for London (TfL), has completed the acquisition of the Lillie Bridge Depot and surrounding 15-acre site, unlocking major development at the west London brownfield site.

Earls Court Partnership, a joint venture between Delancey and Transport for London (TfL), has completed the acquisition of the Lillie Bridge Depot and surrounding 15-acre site, unlocking major development at the west London brownfield site.
The key land purchase paves the way for a fresh masterplan to be drawn up for a now 40-acre brownfield site at Earl’s Court, expected to contain plans for 4,500 homes alongside other assets.
As part of the deal, the Lillie Bridge Depot has been leased back to TfL on a peppercorn rent and will continue to be operated by the London transport body while it assesses if, and how, the depot will be relocated.
The Earls Court Partnership said the Lillie Bridge Depot would be a key later phase of the masterplan being brought forward by the Earls Court Development Company (ECDC), which started consultation in 2021.
