Chelsea & Boehly

Don't have a problem with Chelsea spending.

Main issue is the corrupt rules which enable Chelsea to spend near £1bil in the space of 12 months yet clubs like Wolves and Everton threatened with all kinds based on spending 1/3 of that 3-4 years ago.

Disgrace football is.
 
last seasons transfers they must spending 120% on wages to turnover

you think enzo is getting paid in food stamps?

Wage bill last season was £215million. It's between that and £250mill now. Highest in the league.

Made a net loss of £121mill last set of accounts 21/22.

They make about £450mill annual revenue. So it's about 60% wage to turnover

4. Chelsea – £333m​

Chelsea’s accounts for the 2022/23 season might just look mightily different to the £333m wage bill recorded last season.

Since then the west Londoners have embarked on a wild spending spree, shattering records for money spent in a season and sanctioning a £106m deal to make Enzo Fernandez the most expensive player in Premier League history.

Todd Boehly has spent around £600m on new players since taking ownership at Stamford Bridge. Expect the west Londoners to rise up these rankings when next season’s figures are accounted for.




Thats their wage bill according to their accounts.
 
Its around 800million.

Toddy boy and the City owners are probably the only 2 who have "invested" more into their clubs.
People smarter and with better resourcrs than me can correct me but I remember seeing somewhere the sources of income we brought into the club via player sales, sky money etc definitely more than propped us up, yeah Mosh has pumped plenty in but anyway wrong thread, and I probably remembered wrong 🙃
 

do they think they need an offensive team & a defensive team?

its ridiculous that they've spent over 900Mil on signings since they came in. This time next year they could be in deep water...

That's not the reason we can't spend. Everton Football Club makes no money because dumb and dumber have no business plan. the little bit of money that is floating around the club is having to be directed towards BMD and ever increasing costs. I have said to you before, Farhad Moshiri is someone who is asset rich not cash rich, he needed Usmanov to support him as this stuff is pocket change to him whereas it's not to Moshiri. Our wage bill is still far too high so even if we had money we couldn't chuck money at players and would still have to shop carefully, it's just going to be the way probably for at least till next summer.
As for Chelsea well I have seen a few explanations of their spending and it does make sense (just, sort of) but there is a bit of a catch with it. They have put themselves under huge pressure to qualify for the CL this year, they simply must so that they can balance their books otherwise they really will be in trouble. However it's a new manager and an almost new squad which is fairly young and I don't see them doing it tbh. Ignore them now but next summer could get real interesting with them if they don't finish in the top 4.
 
It isn't about what they've spent or received on transfers. It's about how much is coming in and going out of the club as a whole which won't be apparent until accounts are published.

From the outside looking in it looks well off but in terms of jumping in and throwing charges around there's not a whole lot the Premier League can do about Boehly's spending so far as the wheels have yet to fall off. They look to be setting a very high bar to vault over in the next year or two though.

Just as we're now up on charges for stuff that happened in the earlier part of Moshiri taking over. We completely failed to get near that bar.
