Market Value Trends for Young Footballers

Significant Increases in Value

Strange actually cos I was watching highlights of the Man Utd legends game against Bayern Munich on YouTube and I actually thought, this Beckham now, could play in our team now ahead of Neto, Garnacho and Gittens

From the recent EUFA report

.Chelsea also employ the highest number of full-time non-footballer employees at any club in England, with a staff of 1,169.

The club’s operating costs – including utilities, transport, insurance, marketing, and administration – increased from £159m to £240m, putting them fifth across Europe.

Hang on. Weren't we supposed to slash wages ? From that EUFA report...

Expenses continue to rise at Stamford Bridge

Chelsea's outgoings were also part of the problem.

They were the sixth-highest spenders on wages in Europe, paying their players £388m - £43m more than they did the previous year.

Only Liverpool, whose spend was increased by bonuses paid to players for winning the Premier League, and Manchester City were higher in England.

So we hear what a great job they have done lowering the wage bill yet we are making huge losses, when they don't fake the results by selling things to themselves.

So why are we losing so much money? Where is it going?

Hi Axe... this.... from the recent EUFA report....

65m on agent fees this past 12 months.

Huh ? I can't even begin to explain.....

But ... the club has said that the rise in Operating costs was driven predominantly by increased matchday costs, due to a return to European football LOL

So absolutely nothing to do with the high number of staff recruited 🤠.

Other clubs seem to manage perfectly fine with one Sporting Director, but why have one when you can have a team of 5 to do the same work !

We have so many people behind the scenes at this club that they was probably hoping we wouldn't know who is to blame for this decline.

Those agent fees make no sense. How are we paying double what Arsenal are paying in fees, and 22pts behind them. Is some of the money getting rerouted back into the players pockets?

I don't even think they can change their approach now, the damage is done. The only thing they can do now is find a suitable buyer, somebody that is football first. That is the least they could do after the damage they have done.

Only option is the need to sell. We need the match going fans to get on board.

Turn our backs on CFC LDN to get Chelsea FC back!

My biggest regret is giving the owners the benefit of the doubt even after the botched first season with Tuchel and Potter. Shame on me for being so naive.

I assumed they had the best of intentions and would learn quickly and appoint good people around them. I really lost faith after Pochettino's departure and have never been invested in this "project" they bang on about.

After experiencing consistently strong and competent ownership before BlueCo, it's been a real eyeopener to see how these imbeciles have operated in the last few years.

I'm very worried about the future of the club with its gradual decline and the hollowing out of its culture. It's going to be a difficult rebuild even if we can somehow manage to discard BlueCo into the dustbin of history.

And how many of those 1,169 are Clearlake investors?

They are even more corrupt than I feared.

Not a surprise though. I don't think Conor, Maatsen were making a lot of money.

That's what really happens when they trawl players out to say that they were excited about the Chelsea project. That after talking with us it could only be Chelsea. Of course the likes of Gittens believes in the project, the agent certainly does.

CUNDY REALLY IS A BLUECO PAID UP MEMBER

But . . .but that only works if you buy low and sell high. Capitalism innit. But when you over pay in the first place - Garnacho and Gittens for instance - the trend in the market is fcucked. . .because the buyers were high.

We WON the World Club championsships in the play-offs and the President gave us the trophy. So the players should get a little bump for that.

We are owned by . . .I cannot see a way out of this ownership. It is a freaking nightmare. Roman refused to sell us to Saudis, he insisted we were sold to the right people. Would we have been better off under a regime of humanitarian abusers? Oh wait. . .

They probably got a few little bumps. Who knows what they caught from him handling the trophy ;)

It'd be a lot of fun to be inside Clearlake's boardroom when these numbers are being discussed.

Simon Jordan and James Cundy are 100% on BlueCo's payroll.

Pathetic they are using these men as damage control amid everything that is happening. No one is buying it and I love, absolutely love that these w**kers are scrambling.

Spent 7 months prioritizing and trying to get Garnacho. Let these f**kers continue to scramble.
