Came across this on BBC football. Nearly £2b spent on players in current squad, many will go or are already loaned out. It’s obscene and how they get around FFP I’ve no idea. Fucking bonkers….. Attachment Deleted |

Basket case of a club, their fans can't be happy with how it's being run.

Just looked closer at the players and there's at least ten 17-19 year olds for which they paid over £170m in total including £51m for a 17 year old. Where is the control over this lunacy?

They have , i think , 7 or 8 goalkeepers I read that too Their 7th choice keeper cost 17 million I just can't believe the powers aren't doing anything about these bonkers rules. It's certainly feels like the FFP is designed to assist the top 7 or 8 amd everyone else can fuck off |

Someone told me that rule got changed now. |

There should be a limited number of players in the first team squad (probably is, but should include youngsters getting games for the first team too) and there should be a limited number of players that can be loaned to other clubs. A wage cap system where only 5 players could earn above a certain amount, the next 5 players over a certain amount, the next 5 the same and the last 10 should get the same wages. Maybe then it would be more tempting to play for a smaller club instead of being on the bench for a big club?  |

That list doesn’t even include Nkunku that I can see and will soon have Netto.
It’s a shame that other clubs can’t agree to refuse to loan to business with them. Then they’d find themselves in a whole load of trouble.

I believe the income from loaning out players is lucrative. Didn’t we pay Chelsea around £7m for Cat Kicker Zouma's season loan in relegation year?

I think having good lawyers and knowing your way around the rules helps a great deal. Remember it wasn't long ago Stoke sold the stadium and training ground to BET365 and now we are owned I believe debt free with John Coates. It is a farce that Chelsea for years have been stock piling young players, but it is within the rules. |
