Cobs

The kids waiting in the wings better be sensational cos we needed at least one before we decided to cut Curtis loose

am fully expect Barcola to get done now f*** knows what's happening in midfield, mind

Doak - sold 18th August 2025 for £25mm Isak - bought 1st Sept 2025 for £125mm

you wouldn't pay £150mm upfront, we have other monies landing that we are owed for transfers (and vice versa) and there's a credit facility of around £300mm already sitting there - well, there was, i don't know how much of that we went through last year

the club pays the win bonuses not the owners

there's nothing wrong with that per se - just f***ing get on with it

how they are behaving like this, still spending a fortune on accumulating players, getting away with historic years of cheating is beyond me presumably their plan is just to sell up to some new hedge fund c*** rather than let the club go bust they're probably furious Bezos has got involved with Liverpool

true but - our season starts on Sunday and the squad is simply not where it should be, nowhere near

Weird - will try again https://x.com/cfcsid1905/status/2089581921957269566?s=46&t=S0LBdQiaWZdWT39o5mhR6Q Chelsea's ownership accounts are far worse than the headlines suggested. 22 Holdco posted a £700.8m pre-tax loss for the year to 30 June 2025, against roughly £445m the year before. The largest ever recorded by an English football ownership group. Turnover £536.5m, up just 2.6%. Operating costs £1,166.8m, up 19.5%. Operating loss £628.7m. The club itself lost £262.4m. The remaining £440m is debt servicing and acquisition-accounting amortisation parked above the club, plus the £200m intra-group profit booked on moving Chelsea Women to a sister company. £1.39bn of external borrowings, every pound of it falling due after five years. £794.2m of senior term loans sit at BlueCo 22 at SONIA +3.25%, roughly 7.5% to 8%. Hard-stop maturity 13 July 2027. That refinancing wall is around 15 months away. £595.9m PIK loan from Ares at 22 Holdco, priced at SONIA +7.50%. It was £410.2m in September 2023. Nothing is paid in cash. It simply compounds. Projected to exceed £850m by 2033 and potentially £1bn. Interest already swallows 29% of revenue. Blended cost of debt is close to 10%. The collateral is the club. A floating charge gives the senior lenders direct recourse to the equity of Chelsea Football Club Limited and Strasbourg. Clearlake's Behdad Eghbali and José Feliciano are the persons with significant control. Boehly is a director and holder, Mark Walter and Hansjörg Wyss are minority partners. Clearlake's 61.85% stake was itself funded by borrowing from its own credit fund, COP III, secured on a pledge of those 179.4m A Ordinary shares. They put £450m of fresh equity in last year. The hole still got deeper. Great Forensic work as ever from @theesk #Clearlake #Chelsea #CFC

I’m not an accountant but feck knows how long they can get away with this

What’s the transfer fee of my new favourite player here?

That’s there or thereabouts at the £115mm mark - they need to be fuxked off if they’re not accepting that.

for every team he's played for *fixed that for you

i think he's better than those numbers and has had a few niggly injuries over the past year or so too - Arteta has him doing way more defensive work than Salah was aswell

thanks, i was told to in order to request tickets for a disabled person that i'd need to set up a supporter ID for him, which i did. I was also told i didn't need to do anything re getting his Dad (who is his full time carer registered, he will have to be with him) - so it's interesting they've set up a Personal Assistant ID for you - that's not happened here yet, as far as i know. Then i was told i needed to prove he was disabled (via a number of methods) which i've done. Now they're saying - go buy a membership. Presumably ticket access is ticket access - it's no different Full/Light - the other add ons we're not really fussed about? i had hoped - and i asked that from the outset, the whole email chain is called a 'one off ticket' looks like they're sold in the same way, register, buy a membership, apply in the ballot for games eligible via number of credits and get disappointed.

thanks, but that's where i've got to with the ticket office via a dozen emails so with a memebership he can apply - how is he supposed to be able to build credits? ok - just found another section tht says he can register for lesser matches with under 4 credits, which is fine. He just wants to go once. It doesn't need to the v Everton or the mancs.

Does anyone have experience of getting disabled persons tickets for matches? I'm in conversation via email with the cliub right now, trying to sort this for my nephew - and it's like pulling teeth with them. i should add they told me i had to register him with club to get a supporter ID. Now they're saying he needs a memebrship (Full or Light seems to do the job) - they only want to go to one game 'his dream' and it'll need his Dad to come with him (they'll be flying in from Ireland and need a hotel so it will need a bit of notice to plan)
