Summer transfer window 2023

FYI This headline is VERY misleading so Im cross-posting this. From the actual article:

"That may well be true but the club will now not be getting any from MSP. But the U.S. group is proceeding with the £100million loan to the stadium company, although this is now just a straightforward loan and not convertible debt.

This should enable Moshiri to repay the £40million he borrowed from English businessman Andy Bell in May which was always intended to act as a bridging loan for the larger MSP investment."

In other words MSP IS indeed giving a 100million loan, but it will just be a straight loan instead of having the ability to convert it into equity. The 25% stake is off the table.

Why would a multi billionaire need to borrow 40 mil from a local businessman? 40 mil is chump change for Todd. He wipes his bum with 40 mil notes. Can’t moshiri just pay for it?

I know nothing here is what it seems but imagine that, a billionaire, borrowing £40m from a local business man. Times must be hard for Mosh.

I like that y’all think I’m messing. Let’s see, I’ll be after apologies.

Chatting biscuits you bad Dyson.

Say it.

Moshiri wasn’t lying when he told us it was Monopoly money we were using.

It was obviously always Usmanov’s money and now he’s turned the tap off and told his Moshimate to get the stadium built to a saleable point

The money's dried up for Moshiri since the Usmanov sanctions. I doubt he's even a "billionaire" anymore now that his money pipeline has been tied up. He's certainly not putting any more money into us. We've been had by a puppet.

Not to my knowledge.

I didn’t think so, so nothing has really changed which I presume most of us thought it wouldn’t

Can you imagine the interest rates…?!

To me that says Moshiri is selling up and wants someone to take 100%, MSP are not keen on sharing the pie so they're investing in the stadium

Oh, I think its certainly been obvious that Moshiri is broke right now, hence our spending and his need to borrow from whomever. But at least this news means he has MORE money available to him, right up until he has to sell next year.

You mean hard times for Uzzy…nudge nudge wink wink

I would imagine most billionaires that are accountants would probably live off the interest from their bank accounts and their yearly company dividends. He has investments in numerous global companies. He has not been sanctioned personally and if he is as rich as made out then there shouldn’t be any issues.

Hasn’t he already put in about £350m to the stadium already?

It's very possible we're playing hardball on fees so we aren't forced to sell a player in January to stay kosher under FFP. It's also possible that the way this goes is: if Gray is sold, we cough up the Leeds valuation on Gnonto, if not we hold our noses and buy Adams.

It's hard to see the structure of a deal that moves Lukaku here from those wages with three years left on his deal. They could save considerable money in the long run by doing it, even if Chelsea propped up wages, but doing that while accelerating depreciation probably results in FFP problems. If they received 35 million pounds as a fee, but had to offset wages by 250,000/wk, it saves them over fifty million pounds over three years but causes a 40 million FFP charge to hit this fiscal year.

It's an example of financial mismanagement that likely will cost Chelsea a full new player unless the Saudis bail them out, which seems unlikely. They're stuck running that one down and salvaging what they can on loan deals until the FFP hit becomes manageable enough to buy out his contract.

We have not expressed any interest in Lukaku so can people stop speculating on this, it’s not happening

Todd spent 350 mil on his haircut last week

May as well close this thread now. We were haggling with Southampton over a couple of million for Che Adams because we have no cash and all of our moves were supposedly dependent on cashflow created by the MSP investment.

Go with what we've got. At least Bill will stay on now, eh?
