CHELSEA SMASH PL TRANSFER WINDOW RECORD WITH £314m SALES
Am I impressed? Not at all! The figure should be much higher as CFC still has a lot of players to off-load which is of no importance for the CFC at present. Just present the burden for the bookkeeping.
While Todd Boehly broke record in Premier League in Transfer Window 2025 with sales, other clubs like Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City and even Newcastle and Manchester United got significant players in, Chelsea still has problems with defence, goalkeeper, and proper number 9. Seems to me while others will be after titles in Premier League and Champions League because of upgrading their squads, our Todd Boehly will be given a golden medal for best sales in Premier League and Chelsea FC will be nothing else then laughing cow.
Others like Spurs and Everton with significantly less money than Chelsea build their new stadiums, which is not the case with Chelsea. This is an ongoing issue. When Teresa May (former PM) refused to grant the previous owner a CFC visa, Abramowich was not bothered to spend £1bn on a new stadium for over 60,000 seats capacity. If I am not mistaken, Todd Boehly gave Boris Johnson (previous PM) confirmation that if he will be the new owner, he will start to build a new stadium in the first two years.
Not moving in this direction, Todd Boehly showed that all he cares about is how much money he will earn and get from buying and selling players while Chelsea supporters are not of importance to him. With a new, bigger stadium there would be more revenue and more things on offer like time to time NFL or national football games, ...
I personally and my family have 5 (five season tickets) which were taken from me when I was in hospital fighting my cancer. In numerous letters and emails I sent to CFC in all these years, only two mails were received to buy VIP tickets of £9500 each cheaper therefore to replace my season tickets on West Upper of £1450 each I have to spend nearly £50,000 for my season tickets. On complaint, the CFC has not even replied. Not even to mention the membership card.
Spurs built a new stadium with 62,850 capacity despite that they have for 24 years chairman Daniel Levy who appointed in all these years 18 managers and collected just 1 trophy.
Similar situation is Everton's new stadium, officially named Hill Dickinson Stadium, is a state-of-the-art facility located at Bramley-Moore Dock in Liverpool, with a capacity of 52,888 and a construction cost of approximately £802 million.
Situated at Bramley-Moore Dock, the stadium replaces Goodison Park, which had been Everton's home since 1892. The new venue is designed to be a central part of a mixed-use development, enhancing the waterfront area.
The stadium has accommodation, making it the seventh largest in the Premier League. This is a significant increase from Goodison Park's capacity of 39,572, allowing for more fans to experience live matches. The stadium features a modern bowl design constructed primarily of steel and glass. It includes a notable 13,000-seat stand inspired by Borussia Dortmund's "Yellow Wall," and it is designed to be future-proof, allowing for potential capacity increases if regulations change.
Construction began in July 2021, with the stadium officially completed in early 2024. The project faced various challenges, including financial issues with subcontractors, but ultimately resulted in a modern facility that reflects Everton's heritage and aspirations.
Chelsea stadium for example can accommodate around 42,000 only last renovated in 1990's. Is this the stadium for the club which in the last 10 years collected 25 major trophies?
In comparison to Tottenham and David Levy 24 years absolutism as Chairman of Spurs, Chelsea Football Club collect in the last 24 years 35 major trophies, while Everton FC in the last 24 years has not managed not even a single one trophy.
All this clearly shown that Todd Boehly is interested on money for his pocket only, supporters and the rest are not of any importance for him at all.
