Because Chelsea’s sugar daddy is an individual. Not a nation state. Simple.
Bluemoon goes into Meltdown
- Thread starter Logan!
- Start date
Plus, Chelsea are very much financially independent now in the sense that they create their own income to spend, instead of relying on Roman.
They did rely on a sugar daddy to get into this position, though
If City carry on winning trophies and finishing in the top 4 every year, then in 10 years time they'll probably be financially independent too.
They try to make out they are now, hilariously.
Of course but the last time they were spending heavily with only Abaramovich's money was a long time ago. The amount they get in sponsorships, TV money and loan fees has ensured they haven't done that for a long while.
They will, they need to organically form some expensive sponsorships first though, which I'm guessing they're on their way to doing.
That is going to really wind them up. I'd love it if Madrid beat them in the CL and you just see Tebas in the stand with his cock out doing windmillsImagine how much the "proper club" comment would wind up City fans
Funny that they have a shambolic defence after spending more money for defence then most countries do. If they spend again that much into the defence, Trump will start to attack them as he fears to be outspent

They pretend like it doesn't but it really really does. They are a tinpot club that won the lottery and deep down they know it. Every achievement they have had over the last 8 years comes with an asterisk. You can't achieve any of that without the Sheikh. That's not true of any of the proper big clubs in England, Spain, Italy or Germany.
It's just been so long ago now. The original sugar daddy club.
Only to try and get around FFP. If Chelsea had to deal with FFP at the time Roman was pumping his money into the club, I'm sure they'd have tried to figure a way around it too.
Chelsea were criticised a lot at the time, but the fact they’d finished in the top 4 a number of times and won a decent amount of trophies prior to the takeover (Zola never played under the Abramovich regime, for example, and they were attracting the likes of Gullit and Vialli in the mid-90s) gives them more of an impression they’d “deserved it” for want of a better word... or at the very least, worked their way up to an acceptable level. It’d be a bit like Spurs getting taken over now (only with a lot more recent trophies to show for it)
City were literally plucked from the mid table quagmire, most likely because of their proximity to us, on the heals of a previous dodgy takeover.... it seemed like a much more cynical project.
A bigger bad, if you will.

Don't they still owe Roman a billion?
I'm convinced that 60-70% of the flat earthers in the UK must be City fans. They are the ultimate tin foil hat fan base. Everything is a conspiracy and an agenda. It must be rather sad to live that way.
Oh I know, but I'm saying they're in this great position originally from artificial funding from outside the club
So if City and PSG generate own income after couple of years, they would be just fine ?
Chelsea were equally bad or worse when it comes to transfers and spoiling the market in terms of money. People just forget it because it happened almost 15 years back.
Exactly this. Chelsea started it all and are equally as guilty as City and PSG.
Well yeah, they'd be at that point spending within their means and not relying on their owners to fund the team. That's not me excusing what they've done in the past but them spending within their means would be better for football as figures wouldn't be so inflated.
Correct me if I am wrong
But last night we were discussing the Cl/El with friends at discord and it came up that on Blue moon forums there have been going on a conspiracy theory that United only had their winning run after Lockdown, because Fergie is pulling the strings at background and Ole is just following his orders.
i don't remember that we have had that discussion here yet, but that seems next level insane. Are they really feeling that insecure?

I think if City moved to a more organic model they'd get the same respect as Chelsea do.
Do Chelsea get much respect?
This years "putting faith in youth" was forced by a transfer ban for shenanighans.
A high amount of their historical trophies were off the Abrahmovich dollar. 8 FA cups, and 6 of them after his money says it all. Similar story with the leagues.
Just because City have come in with absolute insane money and blown even the Chelsea mid 2000s market destruction out of the water doesn't mean it's forgotten.
They were villified by plenty, well except Liverpool fans who adopted them as a second club.
Not exactly! The animosity between us and Chelsea grew massively after Roman arrived and whilst it's died down in recent years, the hate towards them was only behind the hate for Utd and Everton.Anyway, as this is a City meltdown thread.... i really hope there's a massive meltdown on Friday and they crash out of the Champions League again!
Opposition fans said the same when Ole first started. A spurs fan in my office genuinely seemed to believe this. Insane
Reading some of these meltdown threads, to be fair, none of them hold a candle to a typical Caf matchday meltdown in full swing.
