And like every well run business Kenyon is making sure his clubs inflows are at a reasonable level in comparison to his outflows I assume?
arh that was pretty much the basic statement i just made, so yes!!!
i mean i just said that this summer they would be looking to offload some players and reduce the wage bill from what i have heard.
however im sure chelsea(kenyon) will be willing to sacrifice a few years with larger expenses then incomes in order to create a global brand that rivials the likes of man utd and real madrid.
but having said that what has happened to chelsea was that there debt were wiped by a new owner, who also decided to fund some large transfers.
But since mourinho has come in i dont think there have been that many outrageous tranfers, as many players were let go last summer as bought, and mourinho has bought in a few very cheap players who are proving to be very good squad players.
As for mutu chelsea are seeking compensation, seeing as mutu broke the contract they feel they are in titled to compensation for wages and transfer fees, and under current fifa regulations mutus next club could have to compensate chelsea in order of 8million pounds. this has caused some problems in mutu signing for juve, but im sure seeing as apart from that it will be a free transfer the deal will go through.
one last point, chelsea winning the champions league(possibly), the premiership(probably already beyond doubt) and the carling cup will be worth quite abit of money in terms of prize money, european qualification for next season is worth about 10million alone, and alot more money in terms of sponsorship. Im sure taht alone will pay back all the player transfers in the last 12months, and if they keep this form up world club comp and things like tv rights and merch sales will cover other aspects of investment with in a few years.
