Knowing Boehly he will just follow who Liverpool are trying to sign I actually think Lopetegui would be a smart move. Doesn't play hugely exciting football but he made Wolves far more solid once they got in Dawson and Lemina (Chelsea badly need experienced players like that in those positions). Also managed Porto, Real Madrid and Spain national team so not like challenge of Chelsea would faze him and he certainly wouldn't be complaining of the budget. Another wildcard option would be Marco Silva five minutes down the road. Went wrong for him at Everton but he understood this, took six months out of the game and on the whole has done a fantastic job at Fulham. I thought they'd really struggle against relegation this season after losing Mitrovic but mid table and could finish above Chelsea again, Signed a new deal at Fulham but I assume there's a reasonable buy out clause.

Lopetegui was a failure at Real and Porto. He must be the only Porto manager in history to not win a trophy after managing them 2 seasons and Real he was a disaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ender4 Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 (edited) Chelsea £90m loss announced for 22/23. The previous year was £121m loss in 21/22. This current season will probably be a loss as well. What we don’t know is how much counts towards the £105m 3-year PSR limit. However they did increase revenue to £513m and that’s before their ‘sister’ company sponsored them megabucks for this current season.

Getting 50m for playing in the club World cup at end of the season which is very annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Them possibly being in breach next season has been the topic of a few different media segments (by contrast, for all the concern about our own situation, I haven't seen any concern in the media about it).

But the current 3 year cycle is: 21/22 - £121m loss 22/23 - £90m loss 23/24 - feels like it will be a loss unless they sell players before June 30th. No European matches, probably finishing 8-10th.

ender4 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Just now, bobzy said: Surely it’s a rolling 3 year cycle rather than set years? Yes it is. We already know they were compliant for the previous 3 year period otherwise they’d have got a charge the same time as Everton and Forest. I’m talking about the current 3 year period which is 21/22, 22/23 and 23/24. We won’t know how they have done until December 2024 when every club has to submit to the PL under their new timescales. They might also have a problem for 22/23, 23/24 and 24/25… but they have time to sort that out. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ender4 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 (edited) Looks like they’ve just solved their PSR issues for next year. Their airline sponsorship deal with Oman Air has been cancelled today. Lots of rumours they have agreed a mega deal with Riyadh Air. Riyadh Air are owned by PIF, PIF are also the funders for Clearlake Capital who just happens to own Chelsea! Easy money!

It's not a shirt sponsorship deal, Oman Air were paying them £2m a season to be their 'official airline partner'. Their shirt sponsor is a made up nothing company that seemed to appear out of nowhere and find £40m a season for Chelsea despite never making any money. Funny that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he'll be enough on his own, think they'll need to sell 2 or 3. The problem they've got is everyone knows they're desperate, so no one is going to want to over-pay for any of these players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've got 30m coming in for Lewis Hall (although he's hardly played at Newcastle and Howe was a bit non-committal about the deal in the press conference). Not sure how Maatsen is getting on at Dortmund but Burnley were bidding 25m for him in August. They'll be o.k for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They supposedly need this money before the end of June, ie before the window even opens. We'll see, but my bet is they are not going to be okay, and are going to be in breach of the rules (unless the rules change substantially) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t be shocked if Man United hired him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
