Yes! It's also very easy to make more money if you have a lot and are semi smart about it.

​@Mr Wabbit you're deluded if you think that

So your solution is what exactly ? Give money that they generate to smaller clubs just because? How would that be fair? They're the ones with the brand recognition, they're the ones that were successful on the field (maybe not this season but still) and they're the ones have more fans. Punishing clubs because they make money makes absolutely no sense and no one in football would take handouts for losing.

Hahaha. When you swore that Chelsea had to be violating the rules and you find out that they were levels ahead, you blame the rules for lacking teeth. Well, apparently they had enough teeth to stop your club from being so industrious.

The whole reason it was implemented was so that clubs don't spend beyond their means. If the club is generating the money through success, then of course they can spend more.

Cry

Chelsea wasn't an established name until 2004 though lol. And there's nothing more fair than teams who have money being allowed to spend it. Punishing teams that make money is absolutely ridiculous and makes no sense.

Right. Just tell financial responsible institutions like Barcelona and atleti

@@HarryOsborneAS31 Chelsea were establish by 2021 though, which is when FFP was put into place. Allowing teams that make money to spend is what they do, regardless what state of dept or whatever the rest of the club is in. If a club gets an influx of cash, new owner or whatever, then they can't spend that. Meaning that the teams that generate the most can spend the most so will always be on top. Never mentioned punishing anyone.

@@totalbodyperformancefitnes4813 and since those teams generate money they have been allowed to be financially irresponsible. If a smaller club attempted to do what they did, not only would they have ended up in financial trouble they would have been sanctioned but since they are bigger clubs then it doesn't matter.

You know when someone comments before watching the video that it's gonna be a nice unbiased review 😂

@@lucask841 he's literally on a video that explains why he's wrong. I just don't get people sometimes

@@hyywe240 my take is: yeah fine you can explain why they are within ffp rules but let's be honest it's not fair at all. It's just a set of financial rules that doesn't really stop clubs from abusing the transfer market (like Chelsea currently) but has the name "financial fair play" smacked on it. Objectively there is nothing fair about what Chelsea is doing financially. Also my original comment was meant to be taken in a humorous sense.

This video debunks this mans comment yet it has the most likes… Kinda confirms the bias and lack of brain cells with rival fans 😂

@@LosPoderes7 video doesnt mention anything new, instalments and bonuses are something which all clubs do when buying but still cant spend 500 million in one year. CL winning one season also cant compensate for this since all these players are getting probably high wages considering the amount that they went for. And its not like previous 2 years have been slow for Chelsea either regarding transfers.

did you not watch the video what so ever? they make the money they spend. thats how ffp works.

probably should edit his teams stats then make them all 20

Except FM has stricter FFP rules

Bro Financial Fairplay in FM is insanely strict, would be cool if you could hand ourt 10 year contracts tho

@@wildeskompositum9556 it would be, i dont know if it would be OP giving 22 year olds 10 year contracts though.

That thing in the turtleneck couldn't have been clearer...

Like he said. FFP is done over a 3 season cycle. Chelsea hasn't broke it but he likely didn't break it down completely for simplicity. Chelsea wouldn't sign players knowing it would tip them over the edge of FFP. Especially after the transfer ban just a couple seasons ago.

I'm not a Chelsea fan but it's not that much, don't be silly. Tuchel's pay off was 13 mil and Potter is on 10 mil a year

Too many. Gotta sell some asap

That could cause some disruption in the dressing room imagine being a Chelsea player now, and every week new players are coming in

I guess that recent "fit and proper owners" test that Chelsea were supposedly subject to after Abramovich was forced to sell, doesn't factor in whether that owner will proceed to take very risky financial gambles with the club's future transfer policies.

Yeah, as a Blackhawks Fan, you have enough championships anyway. 😂 But fr, name a team that doesn’t “stagnate”, or stop consistently being excellent at some point? I guess the Patriots have stagnated after a 20 year run. The Bulls have stagnated since Michael Jordan. The Yankees were flying for 126 years and they have stagnated for quite a while now too. And you’re acting like two Stanley Cups is it worth what? Giving up your chance to win more during that time? Have you considered that when you were winning those, the teams that weren’t were playing their groundwork so that they can now? You’re an American sports fan. You’re not supposed to be falling into the traps that these myopic and unsophisticated sports enthusiast do. I understand the premise of what you’re saying. But every strategy of every team that isn’t winning has failed them. Aaron Rodgers won the Super Bowl and was the MVP of the game. His second season in the league. He hasn’t been back to the Super Bowl sense. So his whole career has been stagnation except for that one season by your standards, and yet he’s a first ballot, Hall of Famer, and the legend in Green Bay at least if not League. Unless their strategy was to not be good. Even when they are stingy with their spending, the incentive to be good and get the money that comes with it is enough that their strategy is to somehow be stingy and still win. The Moneyball A’s “success” story amounts to exceeding expectations for a period of time. Nothing more. Their real triumph was changing the way that sports entities identify potential signing targets when not wanting or not able to spend like other clubs. I guess for most fans the dream is to have an owner that believes in the power of the purse and the advantage of incorporating advanced analytics. Chelsea got `eem

@@temporaryuseraccount0012 are you really copying and pasting this comment in other replies? It wasn’t worth reading the first time.

Difference being in football you can sell players, albeit on the cheap if they are aging. In American sports you have to trade based on contracts and nobody wants to take in an expensive has-been.

70 million for cucarella was a lot for a back up !

That's because they had no grounds to suspend man city, remember.

Risky given their player history. Will prob have to sell a lot in the summer

Eligible to play for the club concerned. Does that mean the player has to be registered to the club? Or does it mean the player has to fit into some other criteria

Roman was paid 2.5 billion for Chelsea, which more than covered the 1.5 billion he'd invested, it's not Chelsea's fault that the government impounded his money from the sale.

@@dnstone1127 Kinda is, dude loves Vlad and that's why this all happened.

"A player may be registered on List B if he is born on or after 1 January 2001 and since his 15th birthday has been eligible to play for the club concerned for any uninterrupted period of two years, or a total of three consecutive years with a maximum of one loan period to a club from the same association for a period not longer than one year"

Chelsea trying to replicate Man City and just spend, but man city took a long time to bear real fruit, Arsenal are on the rise and Newcastle are starting to rise.

Keep talking...the only thing that matters...is having an owner in Todd Boehly..who actually cares about his team winning..the rest will sort itself out.

That's right the premier league isn't bundeslige or lige 1 Newcastle man city are mega rich clubs and than y have giants club like arsenal united and Liverpool lets also not forget Tottenham are also a champions league level club

@@rashidkhalid3970 I actually believe that your opening statement is the start of what is going to happen - just like La Liga also. You indeed are going to see those with 'unlimited' funded backers breaking away and creating a sub-tier within the Premier League. Those attendees with that level of funds only need to apply to win the league (and the cups between them). That is currently only Man City and Newcastle as the other clubs have financial models which require a sizeable return to their investors. If you can honestly can say that your owners / investors do not want money back out, then you'll have a chance of being in 'The Elite' as the 'Big Six' no longer exist in reality

My guess is he meant to say february 2nd not january 2nd. Otherwise yeah basically no winter signings could play in the CL which we know isn't true.

Chelsea are allowed 3 additions on the A list and unlimited U22s in the B list. Felix is goes into A, the other signings into B.

@@haydarali6249 Yeah I get that, he just threw me when he said 2nd January, but he must have meant 2nd Feb

Individual talent doesn't mean a great team. Teams are a machine Man City and now ultimately Arsenal are proving how to do that. Chelsea are 5 years off of it already, by which point Newcastle will be above those two. People are forgetting how Newcastle will be, Chelsea and Liverpool are now playing catch up.

Arsenal - Arsenal have been way below par for last 10 years, they have underperformed in terms of development for last 10 years but gradually found there foot and arteta has come in and established that with getting the best out of the youth. Man City - Pep is a great manager but this is a downward spiral from last season, they have sold players who gave them impact and the rotation was unbelievable but unfortunately selling zinchenko who is arguably the best rotational full back in the Premier league was sold along with his ego clashing with cancelo didn't make it any better. Talking about individual talent that chelsea has apparently let's stop right there. Without haaland, Man City would be struggling this season, and 25+ already at this stage of the season says a lot about individual talent. Newcastle - Great season top manager, but still a long way to go. Even the top teams who are below par can catch them, so let's not go there just yet. 2 season is not enough for them to be a formidable side. Football doesn't work like that. Chelsea - Chelsea has gone through massive change of structure, no club has been sanctioned at their peakest where they at their best arguably, unfortunately UK had stopped roman from getting things over the line for chelsea which then cause uncertainty within the dressing room. Major players left the club, and players were not replaced. Going forward, we sacked a manager who had a great role, but the structure of the club had collapsed. Individual players didn't give respect and questioned tuchel tactically and personally. This happens when there is a lack of experience and understanding of how a club should manage its players. Chelsea has brought in talent and not just talent players who are ready to play in the first team. Before you go saying 5 years of catching up. Let's review the injury hit list, and that has caused a major backlash to the results on the pitch. Unfortunately, people like you will call this 5 years of catching up. Next season is a season to look forward to. Hope to see more of your comments around then.

They will survive on season out of Europe.

Nkmk

we sell more than a lot of other clubs, more players have departed this season than joined. I can see a lot of players going though like gallagher/ziyech.

Say that again!

His plan is to bankrupt and destroy the club !! There not finishing in top 4 that’s quaranteed and potter ain’t winning no champions league

They can get themselves out of it but they'd need to win a prem title and probably a champions league for any hope of getting out of this without a FFP penalty. Probably a big points deduction and fine.

Yup keeping that squad happy is going to be a task.

half of our squad is injured at the moment and I figure they will find a solution for the deadweight such as Aubameyang, Pulisic, Ziyech,... also Zakaria and Joao are on loan so don't need to take them in account

As long as they arent breaching FFP and arent threatening their long term survival it is okay. We forget that Todd Boehly is not alone running this club, he has the support of multiple billionaires who arent billionaires just because of coincidence, most of these people are good at financial structures, sure they have never owned a football club, but they have owned other sports franchises without ever being threatened to the brink of debt. And it is allowed because it can backfire and thus Chelsea will have to earn revenue through other things, and I am sure Boehly will want to capitalize on the American market because that is one of his reasons of purchasing the club, as he thinks an American audience hasnt fully been explored yet.
