I don't think this has been covered already, apologies if I've missed it. The Chelsea sale seems done at £4.25bn. That's a mind blowing sum and I can't see the business logic behind it, although it must be there.

It's an astronomical sum for starters but add in the need to renovate the ground. Chelsea are a top proposition but that much?

It makes the £380m to buy Newcastle an absolute bargain. The potential for growth is there, can you grow Chelsea enough to justify that sum?

The stadium costs etc are included in the exorbitant figure arent they? think its 2.5bn to buy the shares and 1.75bn guaranteed investment in stadium and playing side of things

but yes, most ever paid for a sports side and does seem a huge huge amount, i guess thats london prices for you ;)

Ah, okay.

Yes, it doesn't sound like value still. It's what you can do with the brand that adds value beyond where it already is ?

A few acres of prime real estate in West London. The land alone has got to be worth a fortune. Build a new bigger stadium out near the training ground at Cobham and sell Stamford Bridge to property developers. Good transport links to the new stadium with it being just off the M25 and a train station nearby.
 
That was the most pitiful of performances.
They should all be thoroughly ashamed of themselves.
I was at the match today and Brighton were all over them. Should have been 3 nil up in the first half.
But what a player Cucurella is, man of the match!
