The details of Chelsea’s recently filed accounts for last season are in, and boy do they make some ugly reading.
The accounts are publicly available, but it’s. Chris Weatherspoon’s breakdown for the Athletic you really want to read. He notes that the £300m of players sold last summer generated a profit of just £32m – effectively because the club were still paying off the book value of a majority those players.
That means a Premier League record summer in terms of fees received is doing little to help the club financially.
Strasbourg in turn booked £34.4m. So we made less than our sister club, despite the aim to make Chelsea a profitable player trading entity. The club actually made more from player profits in the last three years of Roman Abramovich than they did in the three full years of BlueCo.
Gross transfer spending under BlueCo has now reached £1.87bn, and our player amortisation costs (the sum we’re paying every year to pay off transfers made in the past) hit £212.2m, an English football record.
Marc Cucurella had most of our xG against Man City, a sure sign things aren’t going well.
Andrey Santos spoke out after the game with the weak claim that Chelsea were actually doing well in the first half against Man City.
