Bought ⅓ of their starting XI, their entire coaching staff, their recruitment department… just to get bullied in a half-empty stadium. This is the model, apparently? What we aspire to be. It's been the Emperor's New Clothes for three years. Oh how smart they are!

[Tom Albright @tomalbright]

@CFCParee Chelsea aren’t ultimately trying to win games.

They’re trying to solve a financial problem through player movement because they can’t solve it with other revenue.

⸻

Until they can create value somewhere else…

this will keep happening.

[Tom Albright @tomalbright]

@CFCParee And once you rely on trading to drive value…

you have to keep trading (even if you aren’t particularly good at it).

⸻

Which means:

the instability becomes permanent

[Tom Albright @tomalbright]

@CFCParee In a healthy model, that growth comes from:

stadium expansion
commercial revenue
on-pitch success
player trading

⸻

Right now, three of those are failing or stalled (to be kind).

[Tom Albright @tomalbright]

@CFCParee Clearlake sits below that.

They only make money if:

the enterprise value grows
or they exit at a higher valuation

⸻

So their problem is:

grow value faster than the capital above them compounds

[Tom Albright @tomalbright]

OMG Estevao!!!!!!!!

[Tom Albright @tomalbright]

That’s why everyone wanted to see Andrey playing. Dominant midfielder.

[CFC Central @CFCCentral3]

What a game from Chelsea's Brazilians. João Pedro, Estevão, Andrey all stellar.

It is, quite honestly, an unforgivable defeat.

@Bassman_93 Upward “mark to market” valuation that can be booked as profit for academy players that hit a minutes threshold combined with excluding wages would drastically change the incentives. I love your solutions.
