Chelsea report loss of £49.4m for the financial year

[Mouri_Matic 560]

There goes any fund for our new signing this Jan, don't think we will sign anyone now, maybe Guarin at a stress. And if we have a bad season or don't win the CL/BPL then in the summer too, no more expensive world class players of course we can sell Luiz and Mata, Kevin and a few other to balance the book.

i dont get it.

we lost 49.4mil this year. had a profit of 1.4m the last year.

for the 2 years combined its a loss of 48mil which is 3mil more than the FFP regulated.

anyone who can clear the air?

The Mak quoted it earlier.

The Blues also see around £15m knocked off their overall loss in add backs, which includes infrastructure costs, youth development costs and charitable donations amongst other outgoings.

That brings Chelsea's losses for the period to approximately £34m, falling under the FFP threshold of £37.5m.

Jeremy is an idiot who has no clue about finances. Don´t forget, the loss was calculated to June of last year. Adidas just kicked in...nothing to worry about. Since it´s Chelsea these things are reported happily. Meanwhile, Bolton is 163.8m in the hole & hardly any headlines are made. This season, win PL, semifinals of CL, bingo plenty of money around.

Think you're panicking unduly. The club is positioned quite nicely in real terms, and that Telegraph article is amazingly simplistic. Commercial revenues are up, tv money is about to increase dramatically and we have a lot of young assets who are growing in value.

Would be interesting to see how much City's loss is at.

Some say, it´s impossible to describe, unprinted. The last time, I read around 80m. Not sure if true though.

Who cares, we're loaded! I lost 30p yesterday.

Why is this getting so much attention from all the major sporting websites?? Real Madrid have around 1 billion dollars debt. Most top clubs in Europe aren't at equals. If Citeh weren't sponsored by there owners, they'd be fucked!! They have absolutely no fan base outside Greater Manchester.

They fear we are becoming too big for their liking but I see they have no choice

Well, here's to hoping we can get the stadium improvements we need. + I hope that the club factors in the introduction of safe-standing into its plans.

Safe standing, thats hardly a priority,would be way down on my list of what the club has to spend. I really don't want it myself.
