Standard practice in acquisitions to include a clause that protects new owners against things like this - probably Roman is footing that bill out of what he was paid for the club. Usually a decent amount of £ is held back from payment for a period of time to allow the new owners to find problems like this and take some of that money back to settle problems.

Club fined more than £8.6million by UEFA for breaking Financial Fair Play rules under previous owner Roman Abramovich.

UEFA announced on Friday that Chelsea submitted ‘incomplete financial information’ between 2012 and 2019 while Abramovich was still at the helm.

Nice little earner for UEFA

No CL which is over 100m per season. And now in this situation we do not have a main sponsor which is another 40m. How can we afford this loss?

Ig by making a profit on the transfer market and reducing the wage bill. So far, we reduced the wage bill by about 55 million pounds, with another potential 38m on the cards.

Also, we will have a shirt sponsor soon I think. At least we are in talks I heard.

What has Boehly to do with United?

Isn't it obvious? The guy is searching the bottom end of the barrel for a 30m contract while United get a 90m one being as bad as us on field. This guy bragged how Roman couldn't unlock the full potential of Chelsea and yet he can't even get at least the same numbers as the old ownership.

He had Paramount Plus lined up for the shirt sponsor and the PL pulled the rug out. He has the gambling site lined up, the fans objected so he said no to the deal. When I say he, we have no idea if all this is even Boehly.

your confusing kit supplier with shirt sponsor.

We are on par with City, Liverpool, Arsenal. It is just United that was above everyone else and will be even more ahead now. They just are the biggest club in the world with Real, nothing will change that. Not even City with all their titles.

What is most worrying here is that length of our deal. Pretty sure Pool and Arsenal will get better deals soon when theirs expire. Roman tied our hands till 2032 here.

You're right thought it's main sponsor but still United didn't seem to struggle to get a 15% increase, while we struggling to replace Three for months now.

United is just United. They are a weird club. They are shit for 10 years now and still their value and the number of fans increases and increases. They got that 75m deal that is above everyone else in 2015 when they were clearly on the decline. And still companies throw many at them.

Yeah and reckon signing Mount had that angle in the mix.
Same when we signed Pulisic... football is a lot more complex these days.
