Yep nail on head. The contrast with Liverpool who have had one style of play that has filtered from the top down through the academy is especially stark.Oh I don’t think they are all horrible, I’m not that sure as many as you say were improvements on what you had though.
It feels to me like you’ve assembled a set of players before having a settled coach, staff and backroom/recruitment set up though. Kind of the reverse as to how you should do things really.
You could be on your 4th Clearlake era manager by the summer, unless Poch stays on. It must be a bit of a concern you’ll end up with lots of square pegs in round holes? Something that’s happened to us over the years, new manager comes in and doesn’t fancy player A, prefers player B, rinse repeat.
Can be quite challenging for squad harmony.
That's quite a sensationalist take on an otherwise mostly sensible news article.Tweet

Quite a disappointing result having searched "footballers edge" I bet.

Isn't Broja one of the players you're convinced is going to bring you a hefty fee in this rush to sell players by end of June?Tweet

Interesting clause. If he plays a ton, they don't pay us much but his value would naturally go up. If they don't play him, they have to pay us more.
He is, although I think that "end of June" deadline got pushed back.Isn't Broja one of the players you're convinced is going to bring you a hefty fee in this rush to sell players by end of June?
It'll be easy...I think after reading about the Forest case, Chelsea are going to be fecked this year in terms of PSR/FFP. I know the claim has always been made that you'll get players sold before 30th June but I don't think it will be that easy...
Just the 115m to serve as a compatriot to help a fellow countryman settle into his new job.He's already starting every game for Ecuador and looking good. Guess that part explains Caciedo being signed, give him a compatriot to help him settle in.
When 1st July comes and it wasn't easy, you'll just make a flippant, humorous comment and brush off the fact you've been extremely bullish about this the whole time.It'll be easy...
If that happens it will be an interesting experience. Never having been wrong before I don't want to predict how I'll react.When 1st July comes and it wasn't easy, you'll just make a flippant, humorous comment and brush off the fact you've been extremely bullish about this the whole time.
Your stance on Chelsea related topics is a real shame, used to be interesting to read your posts.If that happens it will be an interesting experience. Never having been wrong before I don't want to predict how I'll react.
I kept on winning oppo poster of the year (three in a row I think), all the others pmd me asking to lower the quality to give someone else a turn.Your stance on Chelsea related topics is a real shame, used to be interesting to read your posts.
Who's to say it would be just 4 points though? Everton & Forest punishments have clearly shown they're just pulling numbers out of their arse on a case by case basis.Honestly, if the difference for them next season is 4 points or undervaluing a bunch of assets, they might just sell a couple and take the hit.
4 points is a nothing punishment and there will probably be sighs of relief all round when they saw the Forest verdict.
If they are 50 million over come July 1st, I doubt there will be much in the way of panic. They, like Forest, have cooperated the whole way.
The whole thing is a farce and an independent regular can’t come in soon enough.
The problem with the June 30 deadline is that nobody else involved in the process - buying clubs, agents, players - usually has much incentive to get deals done that early.Going to be an interesting summer for sure. I'm quite confident we'll have enough marketable players on the fringes to round up the money required but whether the club can pull it off by June 30th is another question. Lewis Hall's move will probably go through before the deadline and I think it's quite likely Ian Maatsen will get sold in time as well, thanks to his good performances for Dortmund and the fact there's a release clause in his contract to determine the price. If there are multiple clubs interested in Maatsen chances are they won't want to wait too long to make their move in risk of missing out or getting dragged into a bidding war with personal terms. After those two it could get trickier and while players like Lukaku, Broja and Chalobah will almost definitely be sold it's possible those could drag on for a while. That's probably where the club are hoping for a potential Gallagher sale to come to the rescue, as much as I personally think it would suck to lose him (like with Hall & Maatsen as well).
Clearlake got sales lined up, they know what they're doing, with the accounts and numbers.I think after reading about the Forest case, Chelsea are going to be fecked this year in terms of PSR/FFP. I know the claim has always been made that you'll get players sold before 30th June but I don't think it will be that easy...
Not to mention Everton's losses being largely due to their stadium project whereas Forest have just been spending too much money on their squad. Surely Everton's stadium spend should be considered less bad
A facet central to our argument though was sponsorship and naming right deals which were linked to the stadium which would have seen us be okay. Russian sanctions hit and we said bye bye to that.I think this is a misconception.
Stadium expenses are deducted in the PL PSR calculations.
But those aren't stadium expenses.A facet central to our argument though was sponsorship and naming right deals which were linked to the stadium which would have seen us be okay. Russian sanctions hit and we said bye bye to that.
Rnd initial post was talking about the stadium project which commercial deals were linked to and we have argued interest for loans relates to.But those aren't stadium expenses.
What does this mean?Rnd initial post was talking about the stadium project which commercial deals were linked to and we have argued interest for loans relates to.
That interest on loans the club took out were related to stadium costs but I believe the PL or commission sees them as for other factors and funnelled into the club instead.What does this mean?
I believe the rules are quite clear that investment in infrastructure is ok - any consequences and hopes linked to it (such as sponsorships) aren't factored in.
I also have very little sympathy for arguments linked to sanctioned parties.
I think Chelsea were afforded some deductions for bring in administration could have done something similar for Everton but then thats a slippery slope sonI understand why that was not done.A facet central to our argument though was sponsorship and naming right deals which were linked to the stadium which would have seen us be okay. Russian sanctions hit and we said bye bye to that.
Either way though it looks shit on us. We either get the points deduction for failing PSR/FFP that we have or we don't go through that and have a stadium sponsored and with naming rights from Usmanov which is basically the same as what City do with Etihad. Either way it's fudging books but if you can't beat them, join them, eh?
So Chelsea essentially have a PE teacher running things
Thank God for the white text.That interest on loans the club took out were related to stadium costs but I believe the PL or commission sees them as for other factors and funnelled into the club instead.
True, but then we get into the area of subjectivity about who it is fair to sanction and who it isn't.

Wow. They should remove Marina and force Roman to sell the club to hedge fund, who will buy a load of crap players and take us to mid table.
