Let's All Laugh At... Let's all laugh at Chelsea thread

What does this mean exactly? Kieran Maguire retweet so presume it's posted with knowledge. Suggests Chelsea can make another sale of land/buildings to themselves to get the right side of PSR.

Chelsea are not the only club to sell to themselves, Spurs have done it with ENIC. Go back in the accounts , 2014 I think you will find properties sold to TH Property Ltd a Bahamas company owned by ENIC , no idea for how much but it was for some or maybe all of the properties owned by the club on the west side of the High Rd. In the accounts just released you will find TH Property Ltd charging the Group (Spurs) £1.3 million for rent, must be all very legal as it's published in the accounts. Probably on a smaller scale than Chelsea sell and buy but all very strange.

I believe the rent is for the offices in lillywhite house. I think the sale was to swap for some land TH property had acquired that the stadium needed to be built on. Someone else may be able to shed more light.

chelsea look like they’re doing it purely to pass PSR

Think in the stadium thread someone has said that all the stadium land including Lilywhite House and the proposed hotel is all owned by the club under Tottenham Hotspur Limited , it's the land to the west of the High Rd that got transferred/sold to TH Property Ltd and is not connected to PSR.
The whole Chelsea saga is convoluted , Chelsea FC don't even own the freehold of Stamford Bridge or the Chelsea name.

Guardian did a story on Spurs property in 2013.

The only people I feel sorry for if something happens are lifelong fans like my dad. And I know I'll probably get hate for feeling sorry for anyone or anything Chelsea related but he has been a fan since the 60s.

I’m intrigued to know how this has happened….not a dig at you or your dad but how do you support different teams? Spurs is basically an extension of my family, my dad, my son etc etc. I just couldn’t fathom my own son supporting another team, let alone Chelsea or Arsenal.

As a child I began supporting Tottenham thanks to a family friend who I looked up to, but it just felt right. It wasn't until much later in life that I found out my dad's family actually originated from Tottenham before his dad moved down to Sussex. He told me he chose Chelsea as a child to annoy the family when they played an FA Cup final in the 60s. He has been a blue ever since.

He never pressured me or my brother into supporting Chelsea and let us go our own way however we got there. My brother is Chelsea and I am Tottenham. But I will say, my dad took me to Spurs games when I was younger, had a season ticket with me for one season and is still a member to this day so we go to the odd game. Despite being Chelsea he still took me along to White Hart Lane. We even went to Old Trafford to see Spurs get battered 3-0.

When it comes to football I couldn't ask for a better dad. I know if I ever have children, as much as I would want them to follow in my miserable Spurs footsteps, I wouldn't pressure them into it.

The previous owner didn't understand British football culture and they had no problems with him.

We want our club back!

(Oh, you want it to be owned by the fans?)

Oh, no. We want it to be owned by the other billionaire half the world away again.

That’s brilliant mate. Sorry if I’ve come across a bit nosy, I just find it interesting when I hear these sorts of things. It always makes me laugh when someone says that their wife supports another team, I’d definitely be divorced by now if my wife was into football . COYS.

It's an unconventional story for sure, but what I love about it is I chose Tottenham without knowing it was in the genes at the time. I like to think of it like I am bringing it back to our roots.
