Player Valuation: £20m
I have seen alot of postings on how much we spend/Leeds going into administration etc etc. I think I am right in saying that Roman Abramovic has not bought a single player at Chelsea. He is allowed to underwrite the outgoings but doesn't actually pay for the players himself. The way the Prem has set up transfers is that the payments are over 18 months, ie A down payment, a payment after a year and the rest after 18 months. Not sure if this is exectly right but it is something like that. The point I am making is that it could be so easy for Chelsea to go bust if Roman decides to sell. Someone else has to take on these debts and could actually forfeit leading to administration. David Moyes has had no one to underwrite a new loan until Robert Earl. We need to spend this new money to make sure we move to the next level.It's not inconceivable that we can make the top 4 this year if we have the right numbers. The big difference for me this season will be extra creativity in midfield(especially if we get Manny back). 4-5-1 with our work ethic and guile would see us through I feel. We are nowhere near in trouble financially but need to push the envelope a bit more this year. Without the 2 signings that we are after at the moment the season could be flat within a couple of months. Am I right or wrong?
