If I’ve said it once I’ve said it a 100 times 

Todd Bully and Clearfake with their gung ho egotistical approach in the market to date have 

SQUANDERED THE BIGGEST OPPORTUNITY IN GLOBAL FOOTBALL HISTORY TO BUILD A TITLE CHALLENGING TEAM FEATURING PROVEN ACADEMY TALENT, A FEW OF THE BEST PLAYERS FROM THE RA REGIME, RECRUITED NEW TOP TALENT AND A FEW OLDER EXPERIENCED WORLD CLASS PLAYERS ADDED TO THE SPINE OF THE TEAM - ALL WHILE SPENDING WITHIN FFP REGS

what did they give us fans?  The complete opposite. There’s always mugs in life that believe the most ridiculous lies as long as they come from perceived successful people or those in authority.

It's a big hole to fill financially, and there are only so many hotels Clearlake can sell to themselves....

Not to worry. Todd is warming up his vocal cords and, to the tune of Mambo number 5.

 

One, two, three, four, five
Get the youth in the car, so come on, let's ride
To the PSR loop hole around the corner
The Clearlake boys say they want me to talk some pure profit
But I really don't wanna

Bull-sh*t like I did last week
I must trust the process deep cause talk is cheap

I like Raheem, Enzo, Sanchez and Caicedo
And as I continue, you know those agent fees getting steeper (uh)
So what can I do? I really beg you, my Lord
To me making money is just more than the sport
Anything goes, it's all good, trust the process,
And please don't make us clowns the focus...

 

A little bit of Conor off to Spurs,

A little bit of Cole at Carlos Side,

A little bit of Enzo is all Erik needs,

A little bit of Reece is what Mikel sees,

A little bit of Cristo of to the Sun,

A little bit Levi keeps Roberto up all night long,

A little bit of Gusto here you go, PepO,

A little bit of pure profit makes me their man!

Apparently they sold some assets off to blueco.. now it may save us from some immediate trouble but that’s a prime London property so the club has lost a valuable asset which could have been a couple of hundred millions in a few years.

No. Most fans always wants every f**kin one out after a bad result or two. Every single one. Now we basically did it and when the results are not there we find other colors and shades to it 🤣🤣🤣 what a sad bunch we are. Hopefully no one is offended by this. 

Unfortunately this post is quite true.

So they're now asset-stripping the club to plug the financial holes left by their own incompetent footballing decisions?

What a bunch of c**ts.

This is what I've always said. Any football savvy person could see that whilst the UK government had bent us over and pulled our pants down vindictively, RA with all of his love for HIS club had still managed to make sure we came out in a position of strength at best or at worst not at all disadvantaged by off field events. That is why people hate us so much. And we did laugh at the haters because as savvy football fans, we could all see the potential. 

That is until the Americans didn't even bother to ask someone to hold their beer and just walked drunkenly bottle in hand into the room and proceeded to totally f**k sh*t up.

That’s one way of putting it. What’s a world beater is the sheer scale of our transfers hiccups- sometimes the arrows don’t hit their mark- nothings guaranteed-,however if one were to compare prices paid for theses players- versus current market value should we sell on- we’d all be crying till Xmas

That's some cunning business, man. Since they aren't allowed to take profits directly from the club, they are going to make profits off of club assets by selling it to themselves.

These are good financial business people with little to no footballing business brain.

Definitely some cunning stunts

The one thing Boehly and co know is how to make profit. That is the only proven thing they have. To run us down financially doesn't make any sense. That is basically the opposite of what they want. So I don't believe that for a second. If they dismiss fans in any way or form is another thing. If fan comes in a way of profit they will overrun fans. I can see them calling fans consumers which is essentially how it is. Fans might have a different view on that. 

I 100% believe they want to make us a success on the pitch because that translates to the books. Liverpool was 10-15th biggest club when they sucked for about 20 years. After Klopp came  they started make big revenue and are among the top clubs in earnings. It relates to success 100%. We want success on the pitch, owners want success on the books. Simples. 

We can probably wallow mid table for 2-4 years before we start to take serious hit. MU has been utter crap for 15 years and they are still one of the biggest earners for some reason. 

CL is big naturally but we need a new stadium as well. Tottenham is Tottenham and they make much more revenue because they have the big stadium. We need that quick. 

As our young squad is learning so are the owners. I don't believe in running this club to the ground for one second. We are important to football and we are in the biggest league in the biggest footballing city in the world.

What a bunch of c**ts.

That land at Cobham must be on their " sell off " Agenda once all the Academy players have been shifted out to cover their ridiculous overspending .

They bought a club with NO debt at all , and within a couple of seasons we're looking around for stuff to sell off to meet spending rules.

What a fiasco club we've turned into

IF we eventually start making profits, the Investors can start paying themselves dividends from those profits..

That's the only reason Clearlake are involved.

We had nearly a billion or just over a billion in debt that Roman wrote off.

Who can’t see that? f**king disaster from day one. The worst thing is there’s no going back. Someone try and tell me this hasn’t totally f**ked this football club up for ever. ☹️

They may as well sell off the seats in the stadium cos if they keep churning out this dross on the pitch no c**t'll be turning up to watch.

I know mate, a top 4 club with no debt being turned into a mid table side , having to sell assets to cover debt and with Clearlake /Todd's BlueCo posting losses of over £600 million .

Stefan Chelsea are guilty, City are innocent Borson yet again providing his take no one asked for and will likely go 0-3 on him believing Chelsea will breach FFP.

They are investors. You are a fan. You have overlapping interests with the club.

I actually think my interest as a fan is completely separate and in no way overlaps the interests of our investors at all.

Come on you BLUES!

No, it's about the club being valued higher than when they bought us. They are betting that PL football will grow.

Despite the debts, the huge loans etc roman still made a profit on Chelsea because our value went up significantly.
