Probably because their former owner did not tie the corporate structure in knots which are incredibly difficult to unravel, they have assets and cash, huge premier/champions league future income sources, they have not played Boro or Wycombe in their recent past, said owner has had no say in the process and probably more importantly they are not in the EFL, who as we know do everything to help their members. Its a good job though Angie as no other fans have suffered like Chelsea for the last 12 weeks. not sure how they would have coped with a 13th week as they need to get on with squad changes for next season!

Then took a wage drop to £50k a week to be manager . You may have a better insight than I have . I thought 32r subbed a healthy slug of WR’s salary ?

The Russian relinquished ownership of Chelsea and put it in the hands of a trust, The Premier League and the FA with the help of the Government made sure that a club the size and with the financial clout of new owners and live in the capital wouldn't go to the wall, The £4.25 billion paid will go to help those in Ukraine at some point.

DesertRam Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 I'm going to assume that everything is done and dusted now, and that all the insiders are keeping quiet for the big reveal, sometime next week, with interviews, meet and greets etc. while we all listen to the plans and vision for the future of this megaclub (that's what i'm praying is going to happen) jimtastic56, jono, Kathcairns and 1 other 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
