Technically, no.....BUT!

  • Chelsea have a net spend of £-480.57m
  • Finished in the bottom half of the league.
  • Have a bloated squad (30+ players last I checked) on inflated wages, with some contracts being 7 years long.

Chelsea will have a massive loss on the books this year and FPP only allows a loss of like 60m/year over 3 years (might be raised to 100m). Chelsea will need to get their finances in order much sooner than later, and that will only be made more difficult if they can't produce results on the pitch next year.

They have a lot of problems, both on and off the pitch and throwing money at them isn't a solution. It only makes the problems worse, but they still haven't learned that apparently.
