Term-X 7,891 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I thought all is included...Stadium upgrades, new stadiums, youth facilities/academy etc are essentially not accounted for in FFP.'A key additional feature of FFP is that long term investment in assets, such as a stadium, not only diversifies and increases the sources of club revenue, but also means a significant portion of the upfront costs do not get taken into account in the calculation.'

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I thought all is included...Used to think so too, but I looked it up when there was talk of a new stadium, and all expenses on facilities and youth academies are excluded.

robsblubot 3,595 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Chelsea, and talkchelsea, are the only ones who care about FFP rules.Yes Jose is making noise about it, but the fact is until penalties become meaningful, abiding by the FFP rules can become a disadvantage.

Fulham Broadway 17,320 Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 A lot of praise for the suits so far. However, which ever way you cut it, they would have had the ultimate yay or nay over Lampard staying or going. They made a major wrong decision imo. zolayes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomo 21,751 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 As much as the board deserve credit for pulling the recent deals off, it's clear Jose really pushed them into making it happen. kellzfresh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xPetrCechx 13,571 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Chelsea become first Premier League club to adopt living wageChelsea have become the first Premier League club to adopt the living wage.The Premier League leaders on Thursday announced they had been accredited by the Living Wage Foundation and, from January, will pay all directly employed members of staff the living wage as a minimum - currently £9.15 an hour in London or £7.85 an hour outside of the capital.The national minimum wage is £6.50 an hour, but the living wage is an hourly rate set independently and updated annually, calculated according to the basic cost of living in the UK.Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck said on chelseafc.com: "As a responsible employer we are proud of this significant achievement for the club."We believe the move to the living wage underlines our commitment to ensuring that all our employees receive a fair rate of pay for their hard work and dedication. Quite simply it is the right thing to do." http://www.itv.com/news/2014-12-11/chelsea-become-first-premier-league-club-to-adopt-living-wage/ Fulham Broadway, Moros and Kieran. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matters on the pitch have gone a drastic change of late, as have the balancing of the books. Just leaves the board now. Perhaps something to do with the countless attempts for expanding SB - Finding an alternative to a bigger stadium? Fulham Broadway 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Think youre right. Roman has lost patience with Dumb and Dumber.Seems the influence of Marina Granovskaia seems to be increasing swiftly through the board. She was apparently key in bringing José Mourinho & Diego Costa to Stamford Bridge Her style is perhaps best described as polite but firm, although there are stories that it went a little further than that during John Terry’s contract talks.Over recent years, any agents turning up to meetings at the Bridge or Chelsea’s training ground in Surrey would find Granovskaia driving the meetings, increasingly active and influential at the heart of the club with a good relationship with technical director Michael Emenalo.Last year, her rise to power was made official when she was confirmed on the board of both the football club and the PLC. In the short term, Gourlay’s responsibilities will be shared between Granovskaia and chairman Bruce Buck, and in the longer term, the club may consider employing a commercial specialist to replace Gourlay, rather than a traditional CEO. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2804018/Marina-Granovskaia-snapped-Diego-Costa-brought-Jose-Mourinho-Chelsea-s-set-powerful-woman-football.htmlPerhaps Abramovich may try to incorporate his son into the club's hierarchy now.. xPetrCechx and Fulham Broadway 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
We Hate Scouse 10,326 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Perhaps Abramovich may try to incorporate his son into the club's hierarchy now..I hope not, we need professionals. People that know what they're doing like Christian Purslow, they might not love the club but they'll work hard for it. Not some kid that's still learning, hire someone new and have his son be his assistant for 3-4 years then give him more responsibility.

Family and business should be kept separate. I'd imagine his son would 'inherit' the club as to being appointed a senior position so soon, hopefully he'll have a similar hands off approach Roman has and not try to be too radical. David Dein would be nice.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obiwan92 217 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 So if the board is changing, what does that mean to the stadium approach?What I mean is: was the board leaning towards redevelopment or building a new stadium? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What we can only go on is the facts. They're clearly looking at both avenues, the failed bid on Battersea Park and also the announcement of working with the council to redevelop Stamford Bridge.

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 The new richest club in football list is outhttp://www.bbc.com/news/business-30896253we are 7th after both, ManShitty and PSG have overtaken us. As for PSG it is no wonder after the crazy sums they invested and the fact that they are the only commercially competitive French side, but City's marketing value has increased drastically over the years. Apart from sponsorship deals there is not really an area we can further grow because our world wide popularity has already peaked. Finding financial support for a new stadium which inevitably has to come is a must and a great challenge for the board. Also IMO we should expand our loan system even more. Here we can still grow and dominate world football. Our target has to be to get into a situation where we are the first go-to option for every upcoming talent. They should not see us as a developers.Here is where the growing disparity between big clubs and small clubs becomes our advantage. Clubs with excellent youth development like Gladbach, Mainz, Ajax, Lyon could be forced to agree partneships with us and develop our loan players.
