I see, that sold about 60 too didn't they? £40 isn't too much for a season IMO. Granted they spent excessively in the past. But if late they've been more sustainable.
Who is going to win the premiership title.

They sold three players for a total of just under 53 mil and have a net spend of £56mil - that's 8 mil more than our gross spend.
They are no where near sustainable

But how can you compare Chelsea's spending to Liverpools? Liverpool haven't won the league since Jesus was a lad & they haven't been in the CL for quite a while. So it's like comparing Liverpools spending to Stokes.
Chelsea's spending & wage bill is pretty average with other top teams in Europe.

This thread should be renamed "Who is going to buy the Premiership Title". Football stopped being about football a long long time ago sadly.

Again if you can't see why its valid currently then I don't think you ever will.

As much as that comment is 100% true (and that's coming from a city fan). It wasn't an issue up until four hours ago now Liverpool have slipped up (sorry Gerarrd). Wealth aside it does not guarantee success. Ask any wolves and Leeds fan of years gone past.
Another week of squeaky bum time goes by.

You've spent less & won less,it's pretty simple to understand really Phillip
And this seasons you have spent more and it looks you haven't improved where as we have spent less and improved considerably
If you don't win the CL this year would you not say you have gone backwards after spending so much money this year ?

The top teams have been buying the best players for decades
Even in the 70's we bought the best players around

Not at all,the only thing missing at Chelsea is a goal scorer. Defence & midfield are as good if not better than anyone's. I honestly dont think Liverpool are anything special,others have been poor this season. Just my opinion. Like I've said before if they can compete for PL & CL next season they'll have done well.
havent uefa come out and said they comply too Ffp. You may not like the policy of a sugar daddy, but unfortunately as far as footy is concerned it is a valid way to run The business. So by that token they are sustainable. If roman leaves it may be different, but until then there's nithing wrong. Clubs have come into financial difficulty spending far less than Chelsea.

But not at such obscene prices with such obscene wages. The difference between the top teams and the rest financially is so ridiculously huge the rest might as well not bother.

Chelsea are in debt to the tune of 876 million to their owner
Clubs have gone into financial difficulty because they don't have billionaires holding them up and teams have had to over spend to spend the wages and fee to get players to try and compete in the prem .
All irrelevant unless he pulls the plug. Until such a time, Chelsea are operating acceptably.
Im im all for sugar daddy's. If the pl hadn't had city n Chelsea, pool may be even further behind UTD in the trophy (league) count.

If there was a time to peak as a football club at the right time then utd of 92 and along came sky was probably it, (there or there a bouts) they for me were the team that managed to pay over inflated prices and set a ball rolling that if other teams did not play keep up they would fall massively behind.
The team I fear most for at the end of this season is Southampton. I saw them batter city the other week and were outstanding both as a team and individuals, latest rumour is lallana is off to Liverpool to dine in Alma de Cuba most weekends and Luke shaw is off to Salford for a McDonald's. There were a few others who could be on there way as well. If the spuds are after a new manager then the manager could be on his way as well.

Well i believe sugar daddies have been the worst thing to happen to the prem as are owners using leveraged loans and debt ( like the yanks )

Rumours that we are looking at Schnderlin as well as Lallana
Also looking at Caulker
Couple of youngsters from abroad are also been looked at
The plan for Liverpool it appears is no one over the age of 25 will arrive
Unfortunately I don't see it ever changing now. Without them though it would have been a duller place, with UTD walking to titles......

Really ? Was it not Arsenal winning the title before Abramovich arrived ?
The prem wasn't dull before the sugar daddies arrived and teams focused on home grown players plus the odd foreign expensive player.
Both Chelsea and City arrived and just bought whole squads
They have one homegrown player between them ( Terry )
