[Football] More possible FFP issues for Chelsea?

[Kinky Gerbil]

Reports from Chelsea saying they think sacking mopo will push them over FFP limits



Much how I love to laugh at their misfortune and I'm all for FFP, seems a bit harsh sacking a manager is included?

 

[Uh_huh_him]

They' might get an extra 100k for winning the Carabao.....

Pretty sure that most severance deals tend to end up being paying someone's wage, until they get their next job.

The cost of paying for a third set of Manager & cosching staff wages, is embarrassing, but I doubt it would be the biggest issue in their PSR statement.

Surely they're way past the line already?

They're not because, despite their massive headline spending, the long contracts for new players (meaning only a small part of the fee is recognised as a cost each season) and a reasonable level of player sales (meaning 100% of the fee is recognised as income in the season) have combined to **so far** keep them within the PSR/FFP boundaries.

I think they are without CL

They desperately need to off load home grown players before the June 30th cut off

Recent reports are saying they need to make up £100m + before June 30th.

Suspect Boehly and his exceedingly clever accountants have made sure they are very carefully just inside the line for now (hence noises about them having to get funds in before the next window), but they have no contingency/headroom to pay up the contracts of Poch and his crew as that would have to be immediately paid out.

Some of those comments under the Twitter post are incredible. Basically saying ‘sack him anyway’ and take the 10 point penalty.
One relatively intelligent post states they can’t as the Tuchel payoff was £12m, the compensation to us for Potter and Co was £21m and the payoff to Potter was £13m. if they sack Poch it’s another £10m payoff. These costs are straight losses for PSR and can’t be amortised.
Let’s just hope that the PSR rules are retained.
With the purchases they have made and amortised and the long, high salary contracts they have shelled out I can’t see their position getting any better. They were betting on Champions League qualification and this just looks very unlikely.
As reported elsewhere, they need to sell over £100m of home grown players before 30th June to stop a breach of the PSR rules.
They look like they are in the shite and I expect a certain Paul Winstanley will get the chop.

Disruptive owners, managerial questions and financial concerns: Chelsea are a $1bn mess

With mounting long-term financial concerns, there is no quick fix in sight for the club’s on-field struggles

Henry Winter:

Money doesn’t build teams unless the characters are right. Chelsea had two-thirds of £1 billion-worth of players on the field (£668 million) against Wolves. Their starting XI cost just shy of half of billion (£493 million). Talent costing £175 million came off the bench. The most expensive player in the country, Moisés Caicedo, was hooked after an hour of struggling. If the reported figures are correct, Caicedo cost an initial £100 million from Brighton & Hove Albion, plus £15 million in performance-related add-ons, which on existing evidence are very unlikely to be met. It cost Brighton only £77 million to assemble the starting XI that humbled Crystal Palace 4-1 on Saturday. Tony Bloom, the Brighton owner, and Paul Barber, the chief executive, are simply so much smarter and more experienced than Boehly. They also listen. He doesn’t.

Todd Boehly’s the problem at Chelsea, not Mauricio Pochettino

The head coach can get more out of his highly expensive players but he is labouring under the co-owner’s flawed recruitment policy and lack of leadership

Rival fans cackle at the hubris but it’s not a laughing matter. A famous English club is being dragged down.

Hmmmmmmm!

They don't seem to realise it could be more than 10

Everton was 10 for 20 million breech, what's 100 million going to cost

Plus they are going to be at risk of failing it in future years whatever they do, so they risk cumulative penalties for continued breaches

Plus that's separate to investigations which are going on to the Abramovich era.

They could get decentish money for James still, but not if he gets injured. All the potential buying clubs have their own issues in this regard, so they won't get enormous money. They would also be selling to direct rivals which would be very tough to swallow

They had an offer from us from Colwill. Which we won't repeat I don't believe now Van Hecke has proved himself. Ego stopped them accepting that offer. That was a big mistake

How many 'assets' do they have left to cash in?
Gallagher, Colwill, the fella who's name isn't Braga.

This is a good summary of what they'd need to sell the non home grown players for:

Per the financial expert on the TS clip, getting rid of Tuchel, getting off us and then dumping Potter cost them £45 million in this years accounts.

Reece James is the other obvious one. However he’s regularly injured.
The other factor is that the Euros are played this summer.
If Gallagher and say Colwill are in the England squad it is difficult to see a team purchase them whilst the Euros are being played or before that.
The deadline for the PSR is 30th June. If they sell after that date it won’t help them.

They may manage it but it won’t be easy, and the same problem will likely arise the year after.
Another issue is that Colwill, James and Gallagher are likely to be on big wages and so unlikely to be an easy purchase on for even a big six club.

No one is paying what they want for James, he will raise 25 million max.

He's a fantastic player, but he's going to retire soon

Fml.

I completely forgot they still had Lukaku on the books.
