Max Fowler Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 30 minutes ago, McCreadie said: I read that as “we forced Gallagher to leave partly in order to sign Felix” Is that not what you meant? Well yes, that's where we've ended up. It may not have been the original intention but that's where we are at today - we are forcing Gallagher to move to to Atletico partly because they are the only obvious club interested and partly because we can get Felix in return.

Bison Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 Somebody should tell this fool this is all part of the plan! Everybody outside of the braintrust is just too dumb to understand what we're doing. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That part could have been solved by us offering him a long contract like everyone else. It may be a business, but it's not one that's thriving.

It's a business @Mark Kelly 🫠 It's a business, one where we didn't let an asset go for no millions of pounds and found a way of selling him for 35 million pounds thus getting Felix for 35 million less.

Chelsea_Matt Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 I’m just stunned. Even by our standard of clown shoes shitshow lunacy this is madness. I hope we get a transfer ban for as long as these utter wankers are here. They’ve destroyed our wonderful club and deserve NO forgiveness. I’m pretty much done at this point. 45 years of following Chelsea and this is where we are. 🙃😔🤬 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a business @Mark Kelly 🫠 That's 50 million euros, which I think is about 42/43 million pounds. Still too much though. I hope the clauses which activate addons are insanely difficult to achieve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't hate the player , hate the game . This wanky accounting is the brainchild of those bereft of braincells at the Premier League. All we're trying to do is stay on the right side of it and trying to make it work for the long term aims of the club. I don't like it any more than anyone else but it is what it is. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Original 21 Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 So we’re effectively funding the Gallagher move to Atletico by taking Felix off their hands. But we’re getting the full Gallagher profit on our year on year accounts but the Felix fee is amortised over several years? Very smart. If there was a competition for football accounting we’d be the Champions of Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
