Speculation If/When Enzo Goes, who do you want and why?

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

I doubt it.
We were allowed an overspend of £83million, and I think we recorded losses of £300million.
Maybe Chelsea gave us £10million and a bag of marbles, and the marbles are very valuable!

Surely if true we will do everything possible to avoid an outlay on compensation for another manager.

Yep

 

[SJN-Fox]

Along with all stories about £25m for this that and the other player.

Wouldn't we spread the compensation across the length of the new manager's contract though? I took that as being the thinking behind Enzo getting five years at Chelsea

Yep - five years at Chelsea!!! - Just asking - does anyone know the last time a manager stayed at Chelsea for five whole years or more?

Dave Sexton?
Tommy Doherty?
Ted Drake?

The Sun claims the Maresca money is "the equivalent of selling a £50m player when it comes to FFP calculations".

 

[bocadillo]

Correct answer

I think the other two would qualify as well. Together they lasted from the early 50s until the mid 70s.

I was wondering what this meant as well.

 

[SJN-Fox]

£50m amortised over years maybe. I dunno.

If I give Chelsea £100, will they give me £500 back?

Is that like millions you get for Drinkwater kinda players?

 

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

We have done well with some sales. Heskey to Liverpool was equivalent to £20million today, when he was only worth about £5million.
Not to mention robbing Manure with Maguire.

They might if not for the qualifier set by the phrase “the last time”

Not necessarily as we will be due a few quid from the PL tv deal.

You been drinking all day??

Heskey was £11m at the time which would probably be the equivalent of at least 5 times that much today.

And I still think we sold him too cheap.

Didn't we sell the rights to that money to some bank last year?

I’m sorry, what’s that?!?!?
