[Football] Chelsea avoid failing FFP via loop hole

[El Presidente]

I did have it confirmed today from a high ranking SAUCE that the Chelsea women’s team sale has not been fully approved by PL

 

[Official Old Man]

At some point they’ll reach the same point as Barcelona and have nothing else to sell off.

Not if they've sold it to themselves.
Not 100% sure how it works but can the company who now owns the Ladies FC merge with Chelsea FC to become one team or company?

Barcelona are just trying new tricks - they're being investigated for leasing 475 VIP stadium seats for 30 years to Middle East investors for €100m, which has aroused suspicion. I assume Chelsea are taking notes.

It looks like Chelsea are setting a precedent with the sale of the women's team to circumnavigate PSR.

F#cking hell. The Premier League: Lord of the Flies.

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

If these clubs get away with selling their assets to themselves, what is to stop them selling them back to themselves in perpetuity?

Nice to see the league positions being decided this year by who can cheat the PSR rules in the most creative way

El Presidente says that can’t happen. I asked the same question. So at least there is some limit to this nonsense.

It gets worse the more you find out about this dodgy deal.

Just kick the ***** out of the League.

**** off and play in your European Super League.

In fact, just **** off.

W*****s

There’s creative accounting and then there is taking the piss accounting

I opened this thread just as Electronic's "Getting away with it" started playing on the radio. Seems apt.

 

[BadFish]

Is it that time of year again?
