Just when it looked like clubs were being forced to get their acts in order they vote to change the rules........and guess which was the only club that was run properly.
Cheers. Right, it doesn't roll over. Resets until next June etc. Just about got my shrivelled nut around it now. I guess if they can sustain these losses they're complying with the 'sustainability' aspect. One would assume the relying on clubs spaffing big money on your players based on theoretical future form might bite them eventually though.They just have to wait until July and then they can bring players in. Basically they have to sell several players before June 30th and then they're free to spend again on July 1st. They could afford something like a 120 million loss in the next fiscal year and be in line with regulations.
And just like that, they wriggle free. Just as I and many others suspected.
Why are you both assuming this lets them off the hook?There is no point to running sustainably now.
Because they’re a turd that won’t flushWhy are you both assuming this lets them off the hook?
because this is only the beginning, if they fail this it'll be pushed to 90% and then 100%. The prem knows that if chelsea and others keep buying 100mil pound players, itll keep the league top in the world and thus keep the money flowing in from tv deals and sponsorshipsWhy are you both assuming this lets them off the hook?

But this has been done to align with uefa, and their ratios will be going down not up.because this is only the beginning, if they fail this it'll be pushed to 90% and then 100%.

That's not how I understand it at all.They just have to wait until July and then they can bring players in. Basically they have to sell several players before June 30th and then they're free to spend again on July 1st. They could afford something like a 120 million loss in the next fiscal year and be in line with regulations.
That's not how I understand it at all.
It's due to the way they have amortised deals. They have already spent a huge chunk of that 120 mil you say they can afford to spend if not all of it.I could be wrong but I believe a club is allowed a 105m loss over a 3 year period? Last two years they're at 120m and 90 m, which is why they need 105m in profit this year to reach the threshold.
But then for the following year starting in July, that 120 million loss from 3 years ago would drop off, and they'd have a 90mil loss and 105 mil profit, which would allow them a 120 mil loss in the coming year to stay below 105 mil loss over 3 years. That ofc assumes they reach the 105mil profit mark this year by the end of June.
There could well be more to it than that, but that's the TL/DR version I've seen explained in a few places.
Let’s be honest. Nothing will be done. To Chelsea, to Newcastle, to Man City to Villa. To any of them.
Tim 'nice but dim' Sherwood thinks they need about 10 more in the summerIf there's one thing Chelsea have, it's players. About 500 of them.
