Taking into account all the variables allowed I always knew we'd be OK , but I didn't realise the loss would be so small.

This should be on the spuuds board, talk about plssing on their bonfire!

scribe, the article featured fully lays out the current state of affairs with FFP.

BUT YOU KNOW BETTER, plonker!

The figures for cfc we evaluated on cfc comming 6th in EPL, and winning the C/L.

WHAT IT DOESNT TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION!

Is the clubs streamlining of the squad, vastly reduced wage bill, and the FACTwe have every surplus to reqiurements player bar malouda out on loan further more reducing this season wages.

GET IT DOWN YOU CFC WILL COMPLY!

I read Swiss Ramble months ago and knew we would be fine but it fell on deaf ears.

We will break even by 2015. I'm confident, and I'm no accountant

Ifarka,I suspect Chelsea will comply with FFP as they pronounce themselves in favour of it and do not have stupid people working for them. However a senior exec at Deloittes said in the summer they had a long way to go. Now he may be wrong, but it just shows there are conflicting views. It is easy to produce as gospel a blog that supports your viewpoint. I do not know why you need to call someone a plonker , who takes a different view.

* i donot know why you need to call someone a plonker,

its clear the swiss ramble blog has been professionaly put together and is not biased to anyone club.

the views are accurate in relation to current information for the period up to last season, and my club have done " a lot of work" to bring the club down to a viable business plan.

now this clearly not what you and the scribe want to hear/ read or believe but its true.

Only a moron would invest 1bln into a business and then simply refuse to adopt new guide lines brought in by the businesses ruling body, that not protecting your investment is it now.

so all in all Plonker is being kind, not wishing to cause long lasting offence.

Scribe, that shows you have no idea what you are talking about or neither does telegraph.

Player transfer fees are always amortized, for example Hazard was signed for 32 million on a five year contract, so his transfer fee is split into those five years which is equivalent to 6.4 million. Its the same with all the players signed this year.

That was written before we had the 50m windfall for winning the Champions League and with all the new sponsorship deal and the wage reduction during the summer, we are well on course.

scribe , i offer my sincerest apologises, but the continuous doubting of cfcs desire to work within the FFP rules when faced with credible data and facts from an impartial source is as a fair minded cfc supporter very frustrating.

As i have already said to suggest that a business that has had almost 1bln pounds invested into it over 10 years through a well run company would jeopardise its future by not complying to new rules laid down by its governing body are the rantings of a plonkeresk type person. ( no disrespect ).

Abramovich is no ones fool, thats clear , yes he has made mistakes since he took over cfc, but lets face it, it must be a learning curve ,putting your money where your mouth and challenging the worlds top football brains, this accusation that cfc are a toy for him is unfounded and smacks of envy mixed with sour grapes.

i am a life long cfc supporter who at times has wondered about Abramoviches true interests for cfc, but to be honest i believe he takes premiership football seriously and has the best interests of cfc at heart.

people who continuously mock Abramovich and the club
by suggesting they club and board are to stupid to bring the club to work within a viable business plan are at best biased and to ignorant to really look at the way cfc has been run.
