I'm not trying to stirr up sh*t but if you think about it, couldn't that be the business plan here?

Things pointing in that direction:

1. Investors want returns from their investments. Todd Boehly & co are not running a charity. Money needs to come from somewhere.

2. The sell-on clause in the Caicedo deal. Is that about Boehly and Bloom knowing something we don't? Maybe there will be a similar league as the Saudi one in Qatar or Oman or something, and the best players could be worth £200-300m in a couple of years.

3. Todd Boehly has some sort of relation to the Saudis and may have known that they were entering as a new player on the transfer market.

4. The very long contracts means good Chelsea players would be more expensive to buy than players from most other clubs

 

Long contracts with lower wages means if a player doesn't work out in 3 years then there is a bigger market to sell them on. The reason why we can't get rid of players before was the high wages. Now the wages are low and we have more leverage on the player. 

I feel players will hit the 200-300M mark in 5-10 years. 

Lol Bloom is just hoping Caicedo asks to leave for Real Madrid in a few years time, that's why he insisted on the clause. Nothing more nothing less.
