wong_se said:Chelsea had a record loss of 88m. yet..it does not bother them at all..the club is at its most healthy financial status.
and I am sure if we are willing to let go Gerrard and Arsenal to let go henry, Chelsea would have no problem to folk out another 50m..
The only way Chelsea to be destroyed...only if a barrel of oil drop to USD20 from the current price of USD50.
Jed said:I can't remember the number of times people have responded to "Chelski are buying the Premiership" with the response that they do have a great young manager too in Jose Mourinho which helps.
Are we forgetting what got Mourinho there in the first place? A big fat paycheque and an even fatter blank chequebook to sign players with. That's all part of the buying their way to the Premiership thing.
I don't think he cares if the oil price drop drastically and, even if it does, it is not going to bankrupt Chelsea. Afterall, he already has billions in his bank account and probably making the money work for him by investing in other things.
well... they haven't played any games since mickey mouse cup... (i think)obviousdude said:anyway, pool's back to their winning ways again.
i was telling my friend, it's only a temporary dip. the top teams will always spring back.
and i'd predicted that they will win their carling cup match against watford, and i was right.![]()

well, we do have rafa!!! pretty young too.
manutd have their sir...
arsenal have their 'professor' who had gone bad.. hahaha
all with a common trait and that is no $$ to spend!! :bsmilie:
wong_se said:Although I dun respect him (due to his attitude),I must admit that Mourinho is a great manager.
He understudied Robson in Portugal and followed him to Bacerlona.
I salute him to win CL and beat MU with Porto player...But it is nothing much special for him to win EPL and beat MU with Chelsea Player. Who does not expect them to win EPL after throwing more than 200m into the club by the boss.
Without the backup of the oil tycoon, Chelsea would have gone into administraion next year even if they win EPL and CL..Their wage bill and record loss is too much for the club to absorb. but 88m million loss is nuts.
Abramovich could have drop that money when he search his pocket for the handkerchief.

so you can't say that yet...
Venom81 said:A good manager with no $ to spend is bad. Look at Keegan, he's a good manager. He produce results when he was at Newcastle, now at Man City the best result he got was winning Chelsea 1-0. :bsmilie:
Venom81 said:Look at Keegan, only can win Chelsea 1-0. A very good win. Only team to beat Chelsea till now in EPL. But still..... they can lose to any clubs. If given $200m to Man City, they can be as good as Man Utd.
afbug said:Give Jurong FC $200M, they can also beat any club in the EPL. :bsmilie: Chelsea is not going to be in financial probs in the near future. Although they made a loss, they did not owe any money to anyone. And with financial expert Peter Kenyon, they are in good hands. Just signed a new deal with adidas as kit sponsor.
