Try and keep up banjo Chelsea operate completely within FFP and are now frugal net spenders compared to their competitors because of FFP. Circa £25m net spend this season !

Nine, I would take that now mate with open arms. Nowadays the way the industry is, not many Managers now hold any real length of service beyond 2/3 years. Maybe at that point that could be an opportunity for a certain Steven Gerrard to step into some very big shoes.

Goldie…. the key point in your last post is “and are NOW frugal” spenders, using the profits garnered from the sales of the stable of footballers you bought during your non-frugal years… anyone can boast about using unleaded now their running at the front… 🙂

Nil, I agree mate if Klopp sticks around for another 4/5 years that would be a result for Liverpool and if Klopp can strengthen other areas of the team that need strengthening like the Keeper position with what you’ve already got I can potentially see a title win in that period.

banjo, Chelsea won the FA Cup twice, 2 European trophies and the League Cup between 1997 and 2003 and the start of the Abramovich era whilst Spurs went empty handed.

Brown sauce or tomato sauce with your chips!?

Yes Goldie, and by spending more money than what they had for that very brief spurt of success, and because you were so in debt and close to bankruptcy, your suger daddy bought you for a whole quid…. or 1/75,000,000 of a VVD.

banjo, wrong again “A £140 million deal to buy Chelsea and cover their debts was soon agreed” from the Daily Telegraph.

You’re shoulders must be aching carrying a bag of MC Cain’s on each one. ?

Funny thing is you’re on record as saying on here you would have welcomed a wealthy owner buying Spurs and elevating them to trophy winners.

Ken Bates bought Chelsea for £1 or some say £10, but took on £1m of debt, yes we nearly did a Leeds but Roman bought us in the nick of time. The story goes he looked at Spurs but Chelsea had CL football.

The manner of the accumulation of his wealth has been questioned by some, but commitment to his club has not been so, unlike Man U and Liverpool where there has been discontent by the fans.

I’ve never heard a bad word about Roman from a Chelsea fan, so as the new breed of owners go he has to be one, if not the best….Pagan

Pagan, I know for a fact that there was more than one interested party in buying Chelsea back then but Roman was obviously the richest.

The biggest part of the debt accrued was in the rebuilding of the ground and the Chelsea Village which was Ken’s vision of it all being eventually all self financing.

All Chelsea fans acknowledge the club’s good fortune in getting Abramovich as an owner and the part it played in our success there’s no need for all the snide side swipes and the bitterness.

Just wondering whether the paperwork can be cleared in time for the Burnley game? He’s left the Saints I’m led to believe.
