Holymoly Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 4 hours ago, xceleryx said: There is unease at the unflattering media portrayals of Boehly. Suggestions that he is dialling back his involvement in the running of Chelsea because of their decline are dismissed as a misinterpretation. As one figure says, it was never the plan for Boehly to be so visible. Another points to the influence of Eghbali, the driving force behind several key decisions. It is stressed that Eghbali’s business partner, José E Feliciano, is another crucial presence. I'm possibly going to be controversial here but one reason will be it is easier to spell "Todd Boehly" than it is "Behdad Eghbali", especially for those in the Daily Mail. On an entirely unrelated note, it's nice to see Feliciano having a second career after his success singing Feliz Navidad and Come on Baby Light My Fire.

Done. Next? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert19 Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 2 hours ago, Ham said: Thanks for sharing. Interesting about the club feeling that they are not in danger of failing FFP. If we rush to sell players before 30 June we'll know whether they're lying or not. Well, if we do get say 8-10 off the books, we'll definitely raise a few quid and create a massive hole in the operating budget. So I guess that would grow their confidence. 9 minutes ago, Bob Singleton said: I think if we 'rush' sales that return considerably less value than one might expect, then they're probably lying about FFP. 'Rushing" per se isn't an indication on its own. I think a lot of the sales are going to be for less money than one might expect. But largely because a lot of the players are high earners, with big reputations (and enormous egos) and have been sh*te for some considerable time.

Not forgetting that we're not the only club looking to off-load players! Talk of Arsenal wanting rid of half a dozen or more. Same at United. Plus the relegated clubs; there will be players at Leicester in particular who will believe they should remain PL players next season. Then there are those those clubs need to let go purely to trim the wages. Promoted clubs will take a few 'established' PL players, but better value can be had from French, Dutch and Portuguese clubs.

Backbiter Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 How crappy websites report Part 999 Quote Chelsea regular agrees personal terms with Man City and fires ‘very bad’ parting shot at Blues Here's that parting shot he fired: Quote Kovacic insisted everything points towards a parting of the ways with Chelsea after what he described as a “very bad” final season at Stamford Bridge. The Blues finished trophyless, out of Europe for next season and sacked two permanent managers. “I have one more year with Chelsea, this season was very bad,” said Kovacic. “Everything is going towards the fact that after five good years I will change, but in football anything can happen. The Croatian concluded: “Chelsea is phenomenal for me. I love the city and the fans, they love me, I have wonderful memories of Chelsea. We’ll see what happens.” Oof. Savage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
