[Albion] Where is Moises going? (Chelsea - 14/08/2023)

[Neville's Breakfast]

Premier League investigating Chelsea for potential financial breaches during Roman Abramovich's ownership

Chelseas new owners reported their own club to UEFA and the Premier League after their takeover in 2022; If found guilty of rules breaches, sanctions could include a fine or points deduction; in July, UEFA fined Chelsea £8.6m for incomplete financial information

We really need to save our boy from that club.

Sky sport transfer show has just realised that Brighton haven’t actually named a price………..Albion fans have been pointing this out for weeks.

 

[Boroseagull]

If Moises would give his head a little wobble then he would realise Chelsea don't think all that much of him if they won't pay the price.

They don't know what the price is... it's brilliant

And with any luck they’ll put an embargo on any future dealings with us once this transfer window is over.

Keep saying “not enough” Tony

Wish the window closed before the start of the season. This whole affair is boring the living shit out of me.

Totally agree this is really how it should be. So disruptive. Shame that when they tried it, it simply didn’t work. In fact, could be disastrous for us now we’ve got great players everyone’s interested in. Would leave Albion wide open to them moving to Europe and not being able to sign replacements.

Even if Caicedo is currently unsettled he'll be happily back in the team by September. Think we have to hold our nerve on this one.

Couldn't agree more. Why don't they just cut out the middle man and buy replica trophies for their cabinet if that's all they want? Amazon do a nice Premier League replica for just £50. Might be cheaper for them in the long run!

The FFP thing is still a joke. £8.5m for their last indiscretion, and probably a similar wet penalty again this time. Why even have FFP at all if clubs like Chelsea can just bend the rules and pay the fines.

Proper penalties should be points deductions and relegation. Fines are meaningless.

Which would be like me going into Tesco and haggling on 4 pints of milk priced at £1.55, eventually paying the £1.55 and then laughing at the cashier.

Or even more likely - ending up paying £1.70 - then still laughing at the cashier.



(whilst the cashier just sits there with a knowing smirk....)

I get the distinct impression that this has turned into a battle between our Tony and their Todd. The player, his agents have become the side show as the Chelsea man is desperate to get one over Tony and feel like a winner after a succession of humiliating transactions between the two. Lesson # 1: never take on a habitual winner as there are only so many "bloody noses" a man can take. Pay up or piss off.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Oh, well then, if it's up to Brighton it's simple: he stays!

Chelsea are getting investigated for transactions made during the Abramovich era which could result in fines and points deductions. Maybe they will end up bottom half of the table again.

Chelsea investigated over payments to offshore companies

A Premier League investigation into transactions by Chelsea during Roman Abramovich’s era will include scrutiny of payments of millions of pounds to secret offshore companies, The Times has learnt

Just like everyone thought with Manchester City?

I won't hold my breath!

 

[The Fits]

What's actually going to happen with these clubs? Unless they're relegated it's pretty meaningless and even then the damage is done and they've had their ill-gotten success.

Some clever person mentioned the other day that they seem to be planning to singe up loads of players, put them on long contracts, then suck up a 6 month or 1 year embargo, rinse and repeat. What a miserable way to run a club. I can't see the players shaking off the disinterest they showed last season. Poch wanted to trim the squad so he won't be happy. And he lost the Spuds dressing room before he was dispatched. What a delightful mess of a club.

Anyone think that Fab Rom meant that to look like (at least to Cheksea fans seething with anger at Brighton's cruel treatment of poor Moises) it's PBOBE who is confirming that Moises wants to leave?

No, I think it's just him being desperate for attention and mistakenly thinking he can help push the deal through.

Yes. I commented similar earlier in the thread. Post 4221.

I’m not so sure. Tony says they can’t leave after the English window closes and they don’t leave.

I think that's the social media narrative. In reality I bet it is just normal for them and it's not like a childish thing that people seem to assume. People like to make things up for hits on the internet. I wouldn't listen to any of it as it's clearly made up.
