Chelsea fan. Accountant / Auditor. Politically leftist and generally a nerd.

“How can Chelsea Comply with FFP rules?”

A good question that @SwissRamble tried to answer in their Substack.

I thought I, as an auditor, would go over their work and give some of my thoughts in the thread below

Feel free to have a look if that kinda thing interests you at all

[Matt @HistoryMatters7]

🧵 Swiss Ramble recently did a forecast on CFC’s financial performance for FY 23 & 24 and its impact regarding FFP & P&S

I figured, as an accountant / auditor myself, I’d have a look and present some of my thoughts below /1

[Matt @HistoryMatters7]

Swap Morata for Auba and Abraham for Torres and I agree

[JT @jt_stamford]

My order from the very worst at 1:

1. Delap
2. Falcao
3. Higuain
4. Morata
5. Aubameyang
6. Lukaku
7. Abraham
8. Torres

Takeaway that stupid interview and Lukaku was a beast. He’s a complete prick but prior to that he was very good.

[Matt @HistoryMatters7]

I’m not even justifying that with any more of a response.

[Matt @HistoryMatters7]

“Defend better than Ngolo Kante”

Fuck off

[🏄🏽‍♂️ @GR8ftbl]

This guy can cross like David Beckham, defend better than Ngolo Kante, can play 6 AND 8 to the highest level.

Unicorn. Best midfielder in the world.

[Matt @HistoryMatters7]

Not with a Champions League trophy you can’t… and thats kinda the point.

[The Silva Fox @SilvasSegments]

We can all play this game....🤷🏻‍♂️

[Matt @HistoryMatters7]

We sold Angelo for £19m.

On what planet is that an F grade transfer??

[Bielsista @pedroelchileno]

This is how transfers should be analyzed. 3 seasons after. Not short term.

[chairman biden @chairmanbiden74]

happy pride

[Matt @HistoryMatters7]

Strike 1 & 2

[CFCDaily @CFCDaily]

🚨BREAKING: There are clubs keen on Romeo Lavia, but Chelsea want to keep him as things stand & Tosin is valued for the leadership he provides the group behind the scenes, and has not been told to look for a new club as of yet. [@TheAthleticFC]

[Matt @HistoryMatters7]

@MatthewShah17 He was first up the steps as well and just would not fuck off, same for like 3 other trophy lifts

Surprised no one threw him off

I dont mind an ego if youre a core player (say Enzo now) but Bosingwa? Ffs

Maybe Wes Fofana? Neto?

[Matt @HistoryMatters7]

I’ve been on a kick of watching Munich 2012 celebration videos and fuck me the amount of times I’ve thought ‘fuck off Bosingwa’ I’ve genuinely lost count

[Matt @HistoryMatters7]

Bring back teams doing Cup final songs

[Jack @jack_w_cfc]

Blue Day by Suggs is a banger of a football song, frontman of Madness singing songs for us you know, not bad for a “small club pre Roman”

[Patrick Bury @PatrickBury]

"If Arsenal are unpopular with neutrals, it’s because they waste everyone’s time. Not just their opponents’ time, but our time too. Football fans everywhere are suffering Arsenal’s consequences. They are like a company that spews pollution into the environment in their production process, privatising the profits and socialising the costs. To them, dumping toxic sludge into the river is just free waste disposal. It’s the rest of us who get a headache when we drink the tap water" https://t.co/PHpC1FRgv7

@iarchitgautam @_NOMICS .67? Lmao

Fucking delusional.

Three separate jumps below (excluding the pen) that are equivalent to the Havertz goal.

[Matt @HistoryMatters7]

They had 3 separate 1 on 1s with Raya, and thats not including the penalty they won by picking apart your RB

How delusional are you people for gods sake

[Mo @MoArsenal86]

They are used to teams rolling over for them in their farmers league. Last night they came up against a real team, looked utterly clueless and someone was going to score at the World Cup before they scored from open play against us.

Hopefully we see them again next year.

[Zak @ZG1999_]

If you want what Chelsea DNA is/was, which took nearly 20 years to form and sustain, and what is drastically needed again, it’s the Tyler commentary here: “Chelsea just. WILL. NOT. LET. GO.”

Literally being mentality monsters, never giving up, throwing punches until the end

[Matt @HistoryMatters7]

@iarchitgautam @_NOMICS Come off it ffs

[The xG Philosophy @xGPhilosophy]

PSG (1.70) 1-1 (0.53) Arsenal

[Matt @HistoryMatters7]

I think pop punk is fair here.

Kinda 2010 onwards Green Day vibes on the punk scale to me.

Definitely well short of MCR, Rise Against, Linkin Park etc, but not miles off later Green Day, Good Charlotte, Bowling for Soup etc

[Matt @HistoryMatters7]

No, he didn’t “miss”, he had his penalty saved.

Cech dived the correct way for 6/6 penalties and saved half of them, very narrowly missing two of the other three.

You make your own luck, and Cech earned that trophy.

[Emzel @Emzyl_]

Robben missed Bayern pen too, Chelsea European heritage is just having more luck than anyone else. They'll never win any UCL again, they'll be like how Forest just brag about the European trophies now 50yrs later. I can't even see them playing in the competition for another 4yrs

[Matt @HistoryMatters7]

@ZG1999_ Still bitter about that goal. Counted for nothing and was one of like 3 goals we conceded all tournament, could’ve broken every record going ffs

[Matt @HistoryMatters7]

@Luciano_H Not like there’s a lot of other ‘high intensity’ managers with good CVs out there at the moment

It makes sense, definitely. Will just be interesting to see how he transitions

[Matt @HistoryMatters7]

My conspiracy theory is they decided to sack him a while ago and knew they didn’t want Xabi Alonso for his style of play

But - They knew the fans would want Alonso

So they waited until after we signed Alonso deliberately to then go after Iraola with minimal backlash

[Anfield Edition | æ @AnfieldEdition]

🥇 | @DKingTelegraph: “Even at 5:30pm on Friday evening, the message was the same about the Dutchman: Liverpool’s plan was not changing. But then, dramatically, it did.

“On Saturday morning, Slot was told by Hughes that, with enormous reluctance, Liverpool were going to move in a new direction. The club, so they say, want to evolve to a more aggressive, front-foot style of play and that will be music to the ears of Anfield regulars, who had used the most damning word imaginable to describe what they had watched this season: boring.”
