[Football] Sanchez at Chelsea

[BNthree]

Thought they could only amortise over 5 years max now ?

That wasn't in place when all those stupid long Chelsea contracts got signed. It was all those 7 year contracts that made EUFA bring the rule in but it's not been retrospectively applied.

I foresee him doing a David Stockdale and having many many pies over the next few years.

typo fixed


*If you're reading Dave, I'm only joking. You're an absolute legend

This is objectively hilarious. Even more so if they couldn't find a buyer and he ends up sat at Stamford Bridge for the next six years, as third choice.

Is that a bit vindictive? I still can't believe we got £25m for him, that's utterly outstanding.

Correct, although doesn’t stop contracts being longer than 5 years

Not as vindictive as quoting

Alternatively, in 10, 15 or 20 year's time, when today has become history, history's judgement might be that, "RDZ knows best" is re-written as "de Zerbi's first mistake". NSC heresy now, I realise - but are we really that much better for dumping Sanchez? I've yet to see incontrovertible evidence.

It's just a bit of fun. I was equally upset when Alan Duffy was binned off

I thought that was UEFA, which only counts if you’re in European competition. I don’t think the PL has necessarily closed the loophole yet for domestic competition.

Even more hilariously, winning the Carabao could leave them in an even bigger mess

Can Chelsea actually afford to win the Carabao Cup?

Victory at Wembley would see Chelsea qualify for the Europa Conference League play-off, meaning they must comply with UEFA's FFP regulations

I stand corrected, I’d missed that one.

But shirley this can't be right, I thought Boehly was a brilliant businessman
