**The Official ChelseaFC Thread**

[RASC]

the difference with those sides is that their financial power came from the success on the football field and sound financial management, full stadiums from the support of fans who loved the club for its history and success, the money they spent is money they made...Chelsea's came financial power comes from the Russian's pockets, not from footballing success or financial management

Well with alot of businesses, a capital injection is needed to boost its profitability at some point in time. Whether you go to a bank.........or the Russian's, it may be still needed if you desire a stronger bottom line going forward. Like it or not, with the Russian's injection, sales, sponsorship, and support has gone up tenfold.

Also, and a point to note, Chelsea converted almost all debt to equity, herego on a financial standpoint, Chelsea is virtually debt free, and its bottom line is increasingly stronger. Whilst you have a point in your argument in that it did not come from its "sales", name one club that has never gone to an external party for some sort of financing.

Chelsea is NOT debt free EXTERNALLY.

INTERNALLY the club has to repay Roman every year...So technically speaking they are not debt free.

...Wait nah , I know catch myself explaining the financial complexities at Chelsea to their own "supporters" WDMCITISIH

See why ppl does go on allyuh...STUEPS

Not going to even bother trying to explain what a financial standpoint is......

As you were

[RASC]

drunkenscorpion,actually you are correct.
What I'm talking about is PRE 2010. As of this year they are debt free.

My Bad.

[drunkenscorpion]

RASC, yuh shock meh there yes!!

Was expecting another arguement.

[JoKeR1980]

man take a quick google there and come back oui lol

[RASC]

Hey, I was off by a couple months...if we had been having this argument in '09

[JoKeR1980]

well said joker, Chelsea and Real in the same boat

yeah Real is a next one, funded by the friggin Spanish gov't


but did you guys know that 60% of the tv revenue in Spain goes directly to Barca and Real? as opposed to the Premiership where its equally divided between the top flight clubs and there are even "parachute payments" by the FA for relegated teams ( though there are seperate payments at the end of the league according to final league placing )

it sucks in Serie A where clubs sell their broadcast rights to specific Italian stations so obviously the big name clubs will get a lot from tv revenue due to popularity

lampard goal 0_0

[JoKeR1980]

it looked good but i think he was more trying to sqaure it for Drogba?

some rell clinical finishing overall tho

Drogba, excellent touch for a big man...too bad he acts like a emo kant sometimes

[Freelander]

for some reason emo kants play good footy
