Absolute Joke, Chelsea just doing what they like, I dread to think how much they spent in this window, ridiculous if they are getting away with stuff, then again with a few incentives passed around thing can get swept under the rug.  |  |

Most of the top clubs break it. A joke. |  |
| Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.

Yep, they signed another player over the weekend for 30 odd mill as well, unbelievable.
Surely they need to sell to recoup some of their outgoings, I'd love to know what their total outlay has been this window with fees and wages for these players, seems a classic case of them trying to buy Championships and Cups. Hope the crash and burn, cause they are ruining the game. | |

Not bad business when you consider that they only paid £10M for him in the summer. |  | | |

Chelsea have spent more money than all clubs in the top European league combined
Fernandez signed by Benfica for 18 million moves to Chelsea 18 months later for 105 million.
Crazy |  | | |

It’s obscene. All the poverty, homelessness etc that’s about and you have this.
Players on hundreds of thousands a week too. Something needs to be done. | |

Caught a bit on the radio earlier of how , a club can spread the transfer fee over a period of time , subject to both parties accepting and agreeing , the up front deposit was key .
So the mega money deal is not done in one season , it can be drip fed to the selling club .
Agents , social media , hype , big egos and broadcasters are making , wow , transfer day lets all pause our daily routines to check on the next big deal , whoever he might be . |  | | |

Graham Potter doing Graham Potter things.
£323m in a single January transfer window, when the squad is already worth £800m is barmy.
I think he spent £262m at Brighton.
Last 5 years spending by manager, he almost outstrips Pep at Man City.
1. Pep £616m
2. Potter £585m
3. Klopp £430m |  |

Had no idea he spent that much at Brighton
I can understand the Chelsea board doing it but wow!!! |  |

Breaking news … it’s not the coach that spends the money it is the owners !! |  | | |

Chelsea spent 300million this January and drew 0-0 last night, I know nothings guaranteed in football but after spending all that money and still couldn't score.
Long may it continue, 300 million on players plus the wages they've got to pay those players is morally obscene, especially at this moment in time | |

Chelsea look an absolute basket case at the moment, a record transfer spend & a failure to get players out meaning they've got too many senior players.
With all that money spent they don't have a centre forward they trust!
The Ziyech farce makes it look even worse.
For the good of football I hope they fail dismally.
No issues with Potter, I wish him well but not at Chelsea.
Brighton are a really well run club at the moment, spent plenty but they've sold big at the right time. |  | | |

This owner they got seems to have a similar mentality to Forests owner in thinking that the more they spend the better the team will be, they want it all now, instead of steadily building the squad and growing.
Potter is never gonna keep all these players happy, some massive ego's at Chelsea now without doubt, especially those who have been there some time and are now likely to miss out. | |

Forest had to spend a fair bit & bring in lots of players because of the situation they got themselves into with loans & contracts ending. The number of signings is mad though & there are plenty of stories out there about their owner, he's a bit of a loose cannon.
Chelsea were starting from a completely different point, they had a quality squad to start with & they've spent an obscene amount.
They have more wide players than they can use & only 1 striker who the manager doesn't trust & doesn't select!! | | | |

So basically the crux of the BBC article is that creative accounting renders the rules meaningless for the big clubs/clubs with wealthy owners. Can’t they just adjust the rules accordingly or am I too naive. |  | | |

Be very interesting to see what comes of this. I feel like I’m most other leagues or even sports such egregious rule breaking would bring dire consequences in either a point deduction or stripping of titles. They’ll probably just get fines though which would be so meaningless | | | |
