It's starting to sink in with a few Chelsea fans - not enough of them, but a few...

From ShedEnd;

- This show the clowns in charge have no strategy. What this appears to be is some money moving scheme.

- ...I don't know...I have a feeling our guys don't know what they are doing tbh....

- i didn’t know I was able to do a hysterical laugh until this minute. You couldn’t have two more different profiles than Felix and Samu, which just goes to show its all about money and has nothing to do with squad building. We’re already struggling to fit Nkunku and Palmer into the team and you’re adding Felix to that? Basically we’re giving them 30 million or whatever to make them take Gallagher off our hands. Man I miss football from before it was ALL about money


Sure you do.

Good chat on talksport tonight about just this and saying they have no leader who will play all season. Saying the dressing room will probably be extremely toxic

It's obvious Boehly is running Chelsea like I play Football Manager.

Buy as many players as possible. Dump em in the reserves for a year. Then add a second manager and sell em all to Arsenal for 50m each on 500k a week contracts.

It's foolproof!

I will happily admit to not knowing the finer details of PSR rules, regulations and compliance, but if Chelsea aren't in breach then it appears to me to be a complete farce.

When existing PSR rules allow Chelsea to sell off a couple of hotels to a company affiliated with Clearlake when Clearlake obviously owns everything associated with Chelsea Football Club already just seems wrong, on so many levels.

Don’t forget the women’s team for 190 million

I do genuinely feel for Gallagher here. He was their stand-in captain with James injured and one of their better players. Yet now he is being used like a pawn with no consideration to him and his family. Flies to Madrid, and now the move might not even happen. I dot get they're assets for clubs, but they are human beings first and foremost.

Tough shit for him. ITK did say he knocked us back before so he has made a decision.
Still getting paid mega bucks so no sympathy from me!

Signed 1 year ago on a free and now they are selling to a club owned by the same company. Not dodgy at all.

Remember the PL voted to change it but clubs who knew they were in bother voted against it in case they needed to do stuff like that.

Mostly clubs owned by Americans and Arabic states cause they don't give a shit about the community (although the Arabic countries have fooled City with their charm offensive).

I'm a little worried about a regulatory tbh cause if they operate like the Tory government then they'll let stuff slide

I thought the clubs voted it as the wording was ambiguous, so they are re-writing it and voting again, is that not the case?

Oh it may be. Hope that's the case cause not only does it help Chelsea out but it also screws over clubs that don't have reach like Chelsea but have shitty asset stripping owners

Whilst winning the title is the ultimate aim, with the likes of these fuckers and Man City it does not create a level playing field.
I just don't acknowledge any success they have and want us to carry on growing as we have been.

What annoys me more is that it is known Roman got up some shady shit with the club and following new ownership the similarities continue.

As previous comments have stated that it will catch up with them, it is unclear how and what the ramifications will be. They have stockpiled enough players that it won't make a difference anyway.

The links to Saudi as just incestuous and would not be surprised if Bohey is just a front.

Whilst initially fucked off by the Neto thing I now feel it was distraction and we carry on rebuilding.

With our crop of youngsters I'm sure our team has more spirit and unity which will get us the results, either this season or the next!

Now Gallagher being told to get on a plane back to the UK. Anyone lauding the Chelsea transfer dealings need to stop watching football.

Just ready that on 365, they also claim that the omorodion deal was rejected by the player after they wanted to take 50% of his image rights!

Still nothing from the PL on the matter of self reporting financial wrongs by the previous ownership at Chelsea , UEFA were able to deal with it quite swiftly with a fine but as yet nothing from PL . The FFP/PSR rules do differ between PL & UEFA but will we ever hear from the PL on the matter ?

Richard Masters, PL CEO: “The new owners of Chelsea came forward with information about the previous ownership to the UEFA, FA and Premier League, we’re investigating it. We do not announce the outcome of the investigation until it is completed”
