Chelsea owners and SDs are so good in Sports business. People give them sticks when they don't know the motives behind their moves.
Look at how they used Felix to recycle Gallagher's fee instead of losing him on a free.
And the imminent FOS deal. They could've lost £50m-£60m over 5 years if they did a deal for £35m-£40m last season due to lack of UCL. Now they are in a position to make an extra £60m-£80m after making UCL and winning the CWC.
They make calculated business moves and it keeps paying off. It's not by chance, it's a skill.
🚨🔵 EXCL: Chelsea have now made official club to club contact with Ajax for Jorrel Hato as next top priority! 🇳🇱
Hato, understood to be keen on the move and already prepared to accept personal terms at #CFC.
Negotiations ongoing with very good relationship between clubs.
🚨 Todd Boehly: “We couldn't have wished for a better outcome for our boys, who have done such good work and trained so hard, and really came together under Enzo's leadership and direction”
“No one gave us a chance to beat PSG and the boys thrived and grew on that”
“Watching them come together has been very special. The form that you have seen is everything we hoped when we were putting this together with Laurence and Paul”
“Behdad and I couldn't be more grateful for the success that they've had and for all Chelsea fans everywhere who are so thrilled”
“Thank you for sticking with us. We're really excited about what the future holds."
