season Chelsea have spent roughly £250 million, and have recouped roughly 36 million. So if the Financial Fair play is starting to kick in, how are they anywhere near breaking even when they have spent more than 226 million more than they have brought in, and this is before wages. They certainly are not balancing the books.

But being well run means nothing it makes me more sense to run up debts to the limits of ffp because you gain no brownie points for being in profit and we could just as easily use the stadium argument as well as selling naming rights

And also most foreign clubs like Bayern Munich charge a pittance compared to what we charge in England, despite the Allianz Arena being able to take an extra 30k people per match we actually generated more match day income than them

All that money spent and you still park the bus.....YAWN. Roman could have saved himself a lot of money by just buying a big bus and parking infront of the goal.

Telling the ch av.s anything that may upset the Abram spending spree seems to be a sore point to them. I think they think they can go on spending ad infinitum or in layman`s terms for ever and ever, and UEFA are going to turn a blind eye to their financial misspending. I am sure as it stands UEFA are already looking into legal ways to stop some of these sponsorship deals that are shady at best.

Yeah I bet UEFA are trying to stop that shady gazprom that's sponsoring their competition from sponsoring chelsea

I think you think that FFP means spending a penny is unacceptable and that clubs like spurs will suddenly rise to the top despite the fact chelsea generate much more revenue than you do and so can afford to spend more than you and also that FFP isn't designed to stop investors from taking clubs to the next level rather to stop clubs from going down the pompey and rangers route

Sandy,
How about actually contributing to your article instead of piggy backing other posters, or maybe just admit your out of your depth with regards to FFP and we can all leave it there.

Fat Ron's.................................................Chelsea do not generate more disposable income than Spurs, because of your expenditure.
FFP is actually designed to try & make the playing field a bit more level by curbing clubs like PSG, Chelsea & City just handing out massive amounts of money on players.
It is not not designed to prevent the Pompey situation..........................and the Ranger's one was illegal & innapropriate use of funds & movement of money which brings us nicely back to some sponsorship deals I think!

Fat Ron....................................Running up debts is easy if you have illegally appropriated money & an owner who does not like to play by normal rules!

This illegal sponsor crap is getting really boring now
If you think it's illegitimate so be it but at the end of the day it doesn't matter what you think it's what UEFA think and they're hardly going to think much wrong about a company that sponsors them theirselves

But it doesn't make it a level playing field when
1) Our revenue is higher than yours and is ever increasing
and
2)The champions league becomes an even more elusive pot gold putting us way above the rest and making it even hard for other clubs not involved to catch us up
