Uefa is to change its Financial Fair Play rules in response to Chelsea's recent trend of signing players on long-term contracts.

Signing players on extended contracts enables Chelsea to spread the player's transfer fee over the life of that deal when submitting their annual accounts.

That means £89m signing Mykhailo Mudryk will be valued at £11m a year over his eight-and-a-half-year deal.

Uefa is to set a five-year limit over which a transfer fee can be spread.

Clubs will still be able to offer longer deals under UK regulations but will not be able to stretch transfer fees beyond the first five years.

The change to FFP rules will come into force during the summer and will not apply retrospectively.

About time. What they're doing is ridiculous.

I heard a Chelsea fan on Talk sport saying he wants his Chelsea, currently tenth, back. Before Abramovich came along with his filthy stinking blood money tenth was a good finish for Chelsea. Looks like they have got their Chelsea back.

If they finish above fifth or above I'll be surprised.

That's utter bollocks by the way.

96/97 - 6th
97/98 - 4th
98/99 - 3rd
99/00 - 5th
00/01 - 6th
01/02 - 6th
02/03 - 4th

We were consistently fighting for top 4 7 years before Roman

[Nicky91]

more teams be like Fortuna Sittard and looking for cheaper alternatives, our scouting department is quite decent, looking for cheap players but still talents with U21 or U19 international experience

[bots]

it was the chairman that went to leeds that was the asshole. He sold to Harding? who was well liked, but died in a helicopter crash if i remember correctly

And you got it only three times out of the seven

[Swan]

Yeah Ken Bates. Mathew Harding was adored, and yeah he died in a Helicopter crash.

Its disgraceful what they're doing cuz its so blatant.

Usually a deal like Murdyk would be over say three years at 90 mill that's 30 mil a year. By brokering a deal over 10 years its cut to 9 mil a year. Did they think anyone was not gonna spot it.

IF they were subtle I might've given them a bit more respect but very happy the loophole is being closed

They were going into administration if they hadn't got Roman.

Hang a min, look all the other clubs involved in dodgy money. Look at the Arab money in football fgs.

Slim, only a few weeks ago you were happy to have blood money purchase Liverpool if it were to change their current piss poor performances too, don't throw stones and all that.

[Swan]

Also like how City, who were much worse than Chelsea before they got brought by Saudis, never get half the sh!t Chelsea do!

You think their billions are legit and fair in a part of the world where regular people are lucky to eat daily?!

I remember before Man City got these current owners the season where they finished 5-6 places below us.

But tbf to them, to have a chance at winning the League these days you do need mega rich owners.

Eh? Liverpool built themselves up to where they are, we didn't get there from a stimulus package as we were about to go out of business due to not being able to pay the bills. The 2 clubs are not the same.

Even our recent title was won on a budget.

[The Slim Reaper]

That's what I actually wrote. You must know I hate united more than any other team, but I'd still rather go back to pre-Roman days of united dominating with their money, because they earned every penny of it.

But these oil money teams are just on a different level. City don't sell out their ground at times and still rake in more sponsorship money than anyone else because of their honest guv, it's all above board sponsorship deals.

What Klopp has done these last 6 years is perhaps the most historic run in league history. Won every trophy in the game, 3 year run of 97/99 points, and all on a smaller budget than Brighton, but none of that would have happened without Barca injecting 142m into the team for Coutinho. Chelsea have spent more in 6 months than we have in the last 10 transfer windows combined, and they were going into administration before Roman came in, so if you want to compete at the top of the league, this is what you have to have behind you these days, and that's depressing.

I saw this coming a mile off and pointed out in 19 that this was all built on sand. I don't think we'll end up with oil money anyway. I wouldn't put it past FSG to screw us over with more Americans. If there is any chance in the world that LFC can screw this up, they absolutely will. Had the chance to get Dubai in 05/06 - which is the most sanitised version of mid east money possible (tourism), but we backed out and sold to owners who nearly put us into admin.

Point is, you were saying only the other day you didn't care who owned Liverpool as long as they pumped money into the club..

"half times beheadings in the centre circle" (i know you wasn't serious, but you must get my point)

And the game has changed since then, it's more a money business now than ever.

Come on, dude, you used a joke I made, knowing it was a joke. You can tell my serious opinion in the post above. Football is the way it is today because of Roman. Maybe if he didn't buy chelsea, a couple of years later, some other billionaire would have pumped money into a club and then football would have been the way it is because of him, instead. I know we're all protective of our clubs, but you have to be realistic. He was the first, so he gets the blame. It's not a personal vendetta against Chelsea.

Doesn't change the fact you're completely wrong about Chelsea being a team finishing in 10th before Roman.

The "Italian Connection" changed Chelsea's fortunes in the mid to late 90's.

Know your facts before talking utter sh!te and being wrong next time..

Things change, that's life, that's business. And no club, barring the odd one off season, were ever going to challenge Utd or Arsenal, or even Liverpool when it came to overseas money back then. Big money for "lesser" teams, teams almost but not quite there was actually a good thing for football imo. And also, Chelsea didn't actually change their team that much in Roman's first season. The foundation was already built before Roman and Jose.

I just think it's bollocks how everyone gets on their moral high horse when it comes to Chelsea.
