BXL70 396 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 To boost revenues in the long-term, we would need a new stadium - when built it would translate into around additional 1million £ per game or 30£m per season (very approximately). Fairly significant anyway. But in the short to medium term, it would mean lack of large cash for transfers since cash will be partially used to pay back loans; as experienced by Arsenal and Spurs. And if it leads to missing champions league, it could turn out as a negative vicious circle. On the other hand, Stanford Bridge is dating, and supporters need better facilities, not to mention that demand for seats is larger than the current offer, which is frustrating for those wanting to attend games but can't do so. Maybe, one option is to start building the new stadium when we have a stable and competitive team for the next 3-5 years or so, leveraging our new talents from the academy, thereby requiring less cash to be invested into new expensive transfers. What we need now is 2/3 very experienced world-class players to strengthen the team. And then we are good. My guess is that this is the strategy of the Board. At least I hope so.

You feel that Conte almost planned the result of this from the summer of 2017 when he was spitting his dummy out that Chelsea weren't getting the players he wanted and reprimanded him for his handling of Costa. You'd like to think though that the club is learning. We have in recent years shown greater patience with Jose, Conte and Sarri through difficult periods where in the past others would have been sacked, which is hopefully a good sign for giving Lampard more time and patience to build this team back up. The handling of Sarri's departure was far more improved also, as the easy choice would have been to simply let him go but ensuring we got compensation to at the very least cover Lampard and his staff was a step in the right direction from the Conte shambles.

Chelsea should either have given him way less money or a shorter deal.That is the price you have to play when you sack as much as we doGesendet von meinem SM-G920F mit Tapatalk Atomiswave and Vesper 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vesper 30,224 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 The Blues had revenues of £452.2million in 2018/19 according to the latest Deloitte Money League. It's a return that makes them the ninth richest club in the world, but not the top club in London. Tottenham Hotspur claimed that title last season by reaching the final of the Champions League. Despite this they've fallen down the overall rankings as other clubs have grown much faster. Back in 2008/09 Chelsea were actually the fifth richest club in the world, a position they held up to the 2011/12 campaign. https://www2.deloitte.com/uk/en/pages/sports-business-group/articles/deloitte-football-money-league.html# Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stadium is a huge issue the cost of building it doesn't count versus FFP and it shorts us at least £50m plus in game-day and lux box revenue per year Nicco and Atomiswave 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Champions League revenue back this coming year, we should be much closer to Liverpool and Man City's revenue figures. The top 3 won't be budged anytime soon, Bayern monopolise their country and PSG are bankrolled. To be fair with how small our stadium is, we punch pretty damn well. Oh well, I'm sure Spurs will find a way to argue this makes them the biggest and best team in London despite those cobwebs thickening in their trophy cabinet. manpe, Nicco, Tomo and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
