So this year's "profit" is just covering the new years recruits book losses. This strategy works for like 2 years before it comes back to bite you in the ass. This isn't some grand master plan, it's maths for 4 year olds Yeah, cause those multi-billionaires don’t understand money or bother with accountants right? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
east lower Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 (edited) Someone once said - football is one of the best ways to make a small fortune………………..out of a very large one! Buyer beware. Clearlake would be far from the first very rich person/set of people that have lost hundreds of millions playing in an arena they don’t understand. The chap at Everton (a multi-billionaire, with lots of very good accountants I’m sure) being just one example.

Popular Post Rob B Posted August 20 Popular Post Share Posted August 20 Credit where credit is due, £30m for Broja (if they stay up which is no mean feat) is great business from us. Bad injury, couple of below par loans and has never really convinced he has that clinical edge in front of goal. Wish him all the best and hope he takes some points off our rivals 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing isn't it, a private equity firm who manager over $70billion in assets are struggling with Football accounting because a few random people on a tiny little Internet forum don't like what they are doing. I'm sure we were all told, constantly, by literally everyone in the media we were going to breach PSR and would have to stop spending yet once again we've spent around £200m this summer. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea_Matt Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 1 hour ago, east lower said: I’m not sure that people are grasping the fact that the owners firstly and fore mostly need to make a profit, a return on investment. Fannying around ensuring PSR/FFP is a consequence of their mistakes thus far. They are in year 3, they spoke about a 5 and 10 year/long-term plan. By jimminy, they’ve got to go some in years 4-10 to turn around the P&L losses and start satisfying the investors - or the investors might just say, get the **** out of Dodge, protect what’s left of our investment and sharpish like. Yes. That was my thought about the vulture capitalists after our disastrous first year under these lunatics. 💀🙃🗑️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ll see their vision and idea's set out, how winning is a must. The irony of their performance since that speech/statement and the pre-requisites that they stated for success, shouldn’t be dulled with time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree that they have lost money or are in trouble - actually they are turning us into a very profitable cash cow even if we are not particularly successful on the pitch. Value of PL clubs grows at a rate of 8-9% each year and they have slashed the wage bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Original 21 Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 You’d think the fact that we both want each other’s strikers would make it easier to do a deal but it seems like we’re in some kind of stand off. Also, what exactly are Napoli’s plans if we sell Lukaku first to them and they are lumbered with Osimhen who clearly doesn’t want to be there? Can Napoli even afford Lukaku unless they get Osimhen off their books? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xceleryx Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 A potential £30m for Broja is an absolute fleece, although probably worth it for Ipswich if he helps keep them up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xceleryx Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Have seen Disasi's name pop up as a possible Guehi alternative for Newcastle if they're unable to get a deal done with Palace. Even though we've clearly got Chalobah up for sale, and likely cheaper, will be interesting to see if this grows further legs or not. You'd have to think if we sold Disasi, and still wanted to shift Chalobah, we'd have to surely bring in another CB before the window closes? Would be a huge risk going in with a returning Fofana, Colwill, Badiashile and Tosin when they've all had injury concerns lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve heard the Haagen-Dazs agency are good, or maybe, I can’t remember their names but I know it’s Five Guys. Apparently also those two agents Ben & Jerry could be suitable for Rom. 👀🙃🙌🏻 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgs Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Well, Nkunku, Palmer and Jackson will need to perform at a high level to stop Felix from breaking in and honestly, as long as they do that then I don't care. If they have a drop in form we have Madueke, Neto, Chukwuemeka and Felix to come in and all will get games this season as we will likely end up playing more than 60 times. I don't see Osimhen reducing his salary demands nor us breaking the structure for him so I think it will drag on another week or so and then the club will walk away and I would assume go after Toney. I'd be amazed if we didn't sign a striker before the end of the window, I just think it'll be someone really underwhelming. I also don't see us getting a new goalkeeper either as I think the club will want to see how Jorgensen does so we will have to sort that tangle in Jan I think. Sanchez is on borrowed time I think. Jorgensen only needs to be half decent to bench him I think. You watch, he'll play against Serviette and keep a clean sheet (hopefully) and go into contention to play against Wolves. Sanchez will get the nod, sh*t the bed again and Jorgensen will play vs Forest and that should be that. Hopefully. I can see us upgrading one of Disasi or Bads with someone like Guehi and I'd be all up for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguelito07 Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Fabrizio is “reporting” that Burnley have signed Bashir Humphreys for £12m. I initially thought it was a loan with an obligation, but bloody hell, that’s some fleecing. FINALLY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgs Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Imagine if we could send Disasi and 40m to Newcastle to get Isak done. Injury prone yes but a fantastic striker when fit. Would be a massive, massive upgrade for us. Then we go to Palace and replace Disasi with Guehi. You'd have to say that is some very positive business which I'm sure is exactly why we won't do it. Makes far too much sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
