jimtastic56 Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Chelsea have announced a loss of £153.4 million for the year ended June 21. A year in which they won the Champions League. What chance do the rest of us have in making a profit? Bald Eagle's Barmy Army, r_wilcockson, i-Ram and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve said it before but will say it again - money has ruined football Not sure it has been all that different in my lifetime - most clubs have operated at a loss most of the time. Where it is different is in the size of the numbers, from players and staff wages to cost of running stadia and training facilities, from income to the cost of watching. Where it is hugely different is the disparity between the top few clubs and the lower majority caused by the unequal distribution of (largely) TV money. That unequal distribution is what has ruined football and made it the unequal contest it currently is. 60 years ago it was a much more equal contest that allowed dreams to be realised. Now it is biased against anyone from outside a select group wanting to break up the cartel. And where it is even more different is in the competence at world, european and country level of football administrators. The people of vision, leadership and love of the game have been replaced by incompetent money men full of self interest. So it ain't going to change any time soon.
