I know Roman got pushed out, but my point is did that dry up the money and now Chelsea is going to go back to sucking like it did for its first 100 years?

Are the big six now the fab five?

Chelsea spent more money on players than the other European Big Four leagues in the January transfer window. Todd Boehly has spent about $750 million since acquiring the team. Money is not a problem. Spending it wisely is a huge problem.

How common are mid-season friendlies on the club side? Watched Ted Lasso a couple days ago and they’re playing in another country. At first I thought it was some type of tournament but they said it’s a friendly. I can’t recall any clubs playing friendlies outside of the preseason. As a somewhat informed soccer fan the show appears to do a good job staying true to detail of the game and season structure, so it was surprising to see something that as far as I know is incredibly rare if not non-existent to push a plot.

But maybe it isn’t as detailed as I thought. They did make Wichita State a D2 school instead of D1.

Don’t quote mookie, but believe he saw lower level clubs that didn’t lose players during the World Cup played friendly matches against other like clubs to stay somewhat fresh….so it does happen given circumstances

It definitely happened this season because of the World Cup break but under normal circumstances there's no way an English team would play a midseason friendly, doubly so for a Championship club. Between league (46 games in the Championship), League Cup, and FA Cup there'd be no time.

I believe he's seeking damages for a hate crime.
 
Yea, you're gonna have to explain how 2/3 of the league are making money...

If it costs more to operate than what you bring in, your business loses money.

Also if it takes you more than 3-4 sentences to explain how your company makes a profit, it's a scam...
 
I assume every sports entity claiming to lose money is lying.

The second they lose money they would sell or contract. These are businesses. People own and run them as widget processing plants. Loss claims are for tax dodging, revenue sharing, and corporate welfare. Pure lies.

This.

They’re lying. It’s very easy to shuffle the money around through various entities on paper to make it look worse. FFS the NFL is always claiming they’re losing money every time the CBA negotiations are up.
 
Not all owners are created equally. Some have so much money that losses from a pro franchise are but a mere pittance. Plus some own merely to stroke their egos, and unless the losses are astronomical they will make everything back and then some when do they eventually sell.
 
It should be noted that a good portion of major Euro clubs also post huge losses and have massive debt loads despite astronomical revenues.
 
It's the elevator pitch. It is remarkable how few brilliant people can pass that test, and how many otherwise village idiot MBAs do splendidly.

It takes so little preparation and training to learn to speak publicly, to the point, to dumb people. Look at TED talks. And yet, it is not just not taught to intelligent people in school, it is roundly despised.

Learn self-defense. There is no FTL at work. You must protect yourself from the dopes because the dopes have sledge hammers.

Ha ha ha... It is great...

I forget where I picked it up, but I've had it in my arsenal for a while now. I'm sure it was first mentioned to me in reference to some sort of right-wing related grift at some point after 2016.
