Happens all over England because of overpriced tickets and small stadiums. The clubs don't seem bothered because the money's coming in and the so called die-hards aren't paying up
Not entirely true. Have been to quite a few games at Anfield and it's not the case. With us not hating our manager and/or striker for a change that can't be said for WHL either. Upton Park is always roudy and loud. In fact West Ham are on the verge of taking Everton's spot in the "big 7" if they are smart in the next couple of seasons. Moving to a new stadium with a large passionate supporter base and a decent side, very big chance for them to grow. Been questions about City's European crowds, and OT has always been a tourist attraction even in the best days

Thierry Henry, Steven Gerrard, Xabi Alonso and John Arne Riise all standing on the edge of the area trying to work out who's going to take the free kick.

Still losing money despite new TV cash and commercial income from the Middle East. Buys like £42.5m flop Eliaquim Mangala won't help
We are in fantastic financial shape. Take out the withheld champions league prize money and we lost £7m.

While building a new academy, and a new tier on the south stand.

Warchest.

Funny that Mangala is a flop, but Di Maria is a marquee signing.

West Adelaide Bloods, Man City.
chelsea's 'debt' only becomes a concern if roman decides to walk away, then i believe he can request that debt to be paid for by chelsea or however that works. but that isn't happening anytime soon.

it's with a roman owned company called fordstam, chelsea is a subsidiary. i dont know how it works exactly and i dont think anyone really does.

A loan is still a loan. It's not like he has written it off.....it is still owed to him should he ever sell the club or take it from the profits of the club.
Has an 18 month call on it apparently which would kill them. I think he'll just write it off once he is done unless he hit financial troubles like the Monaco guy did

Very important we cleared all debt just before the new stadium. Levy may know nothing about football but he sure knows how to run a business

That's the problem though. Everyone assumes that he'll be there forever and happily write off a billion dollars in debt.

Will there be a huge outcry if one day he goes "**** it ive had enough" calls in the loan and Chelsea FC gets liquidated to cover the outstanding debts? Will Chelsea fans be cool with that?
