Why The Long Term Solution At Chelsea Is Not The Owners Money.

Monday, January 17th, 2011

Despite their outstanding domestic record of late, a team full of World renowned stars and a bank account that most clubs would only dream of, Chelsea’s current owner Roman Abramovich faces a complex issue over the next couple of years. Debt is the spectre which follows Chelsea at the end of every season and despite Mr Abramovich’s generosity in writing off large chunks of the clubs debt, fixing the problem will be the key issue for Roman Abramovich.

While Chelsea’s massive soccer apparel sales may bring in revenue, as will the transfer of a player or two away from the club, sponsorship deals and prize money winnings, the fact is that Chelsea’s overhead far exceeds the revenue generated and so far it has been the owner that has absorbed these debts. UEFA’s uptake of tough new rules regarding the eligibility of teams entering their competitions with reference to being financially profitable, means that Chelsea have a need to find a long-term solution to this problem.

Addressing this thorny issue began last summer when a few first grade players were allowed to leave the club. Players like Michael Ballack, Joe Cole and Deco did not have their contracts renewed while Ricardo Carvalho was sold to Real Madrid and manager Carlo Ancelotti did not replace them with established stars, instead promoting youth from within the club’s junior ranks. This slashing of staff successfully had the effect of minimising the wage bill, but even these player cuts have not fully resolved the issue of club debt.

Mr Abramovich’s main objective for Chelsea is that they become regarded as not only the biggest name in the English league, but European and World Soccer too. Currently either Real Madrid, Manchester United or Barcelona enjoy the title of the ’biggest’ club in the world, depending on how you wish to define the criteria for that title and there are two big reasons why Chelsea, despite Abramovich’s large spending and a policy for paying huge wages, have struggled to match the levels set by the trio of soccer giants: The gate receipts collected by the relatively small Stamford Bridge and the appeal of the clubs merchandise worldwide.

For several years now, there have been muted rumours that there are talks to address the limited size of Stamford stadium in the near future. Stamford Bridge may, if rumours are true, soon be part of Chelsea’s past, rather than their future. While no specific details have been confirmed by any sources at the club, speculation has been rife that Mr Abramovich has been considering moving the club into a brand new stadium, with a capacity of atleast 60,000, and such a move is required if Chelsea are to realistically hope to achieve the title of the world’s biggest club.

The switch to the new and improved ground would have marked and immediate effects on resolving Chelsea’s financial standing. A greater capacity, if the fans can fill it, will result in Chelsea earning far more a year from spectators. The increased revenue from a new ground will be incredibly beneficial in helping the club follow the new guidelines UEFA wants in use in time for the start of the 2012 season.

Also, building a new home ground will enable Chelsea to negotiate a lucrative sponsorship deal over the name of the ground, as neighbours Arsenal did when selling the naming rights to Emirates stadium.

A new stadium would also have an effect on increasing the merchandising sales that the club generates as the new ground would give the club increased publicity, particularly in the potentially large customer markets in Asia and the USA.

For Chelsea to achieve their long term goals, now is the right time to invest their owners cash on the club’s infrastructure, rather than on player wages and huge transfer fees. If Mr Abramovich is ready to move Chelsea onto the equal level as Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester United, then it is required he invests his money into a bigger stadium as that is a required step that this great London team must take if it is to achieve the levels of greatness to which they are aiming for.

The Five Players Who Make Chelsea Tick

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

When you have a squad that is so packed with talented individuals, it seems churlish to even suggest that there are around four or five players who generally make the team tick. Without these players Chelsea just wouldn’t be on the same level.

1. JOHN TERRY (England, Central defender)

Captaining both Chelsea and England John Terry sets the standard for the other players to adhere to. A skilful and brave defender, he has incredible skill and a technically sound style. Not afraid to lead by example and always managers to be a danger for teams set pieces, John Terry is the perfect choice to captain Chelsea and England.

2. ASHLEY COLE  (England, Left back)

He may not be the most popular player amongst Arsenal fans, but despite their bile, Ashley Cole is still, arguably, the best left back in world soccer. Certainly he has struggled for form and confidence at times, but at his best his marauding runs down the left and quality balls into the box are only matched by his ability to shut down some of the world’s best players. In games against him the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have been kept relatively quiet. That’s no fluke, only a world class left back can pull it off.

3. MIKAEL ESSIEN (Ghana, Central midfielder)

Injury robbed Chelsea of Essien for a large chunk of last season and his absence was keenly felt, even in a midfield that boasts so many outstanding, world class players. Essien balances the team perfectly. He is a technically gifted soccer player with a great work rate and defensive skill. He gets forward well and packs a powerful shot from distance. The 24.4 million pounds Chelsea paid to land the midfielder from Lyon in the summer of 2005 looks to be a bargain at today’s prices.

4. FRANK LAMPARD (England, Central Midfielder)

What’s a team without a midfielder who can score plenty of goals? Lampard is one of the best around. He has started scoring goals again this season due to Carlo Ancelotti’s decision to give him a slightly deeper role in the team. Frank Lampard is a vital source of attacking strength due to his accurate shooting and ability to link play with his strikers.

5. DIDIER DROGBA (Ivory Coast, Attacker)

It is hard to dispute the claim that Didier Drogba is the best striker in the world at the moment. Didier Drogba wearing the 09/10 Chelsea jersey makes all defenders fear the upcoming game. He may argue with officials and opposing players and fall over at the slightest touch but at times he can be unstoppable. His goal scorring ability and excellent presence are vital for Chelsea, and at times he has carried the team on his back. He alone may end Manchester United’s dominance of the Premier League.

Is The Michael Owen Experiment Working?

Monday, December 28th, 2009

One of the most surprising transfer deals last summer came when it was announced that Newcastle United’s oft-injured striker Michael Owen would be trading life in the Championship with the Toon Army, to join Champions Manchester United.

Alex Ferguson’s decisions left many experts and fans scratching their heads. After Ronaldo’s transfer, The general consensus was that a big name would automatically pop in to the Manchester United jersey to take over for him. Instead, United got Luis Valencia from Wigan and Michael Owen. A player who for the past five years has been beset by injury problem after injury problem and who was not only struggling for fitness, but form too. The fact that he is a former Liverpool player only adds insult to injury. There were a few bemused faces around Old Trafford the day the deal was announced.

When the details of the deal became known along with Ferguson’s intentions for Owen, it became clear that Alex Ferguson had, as always had a plan. Michael Owen is signed on a pay if you play contract at Manchester United and he was intended to be used from the bench. He did not have to hold the whole team up with his striking abilities, he is being used from the bench when the team needs him.

Only managing to play in a few games as a late substitute it was not the start the Michael Owen would have wanted. However his adoption into the United ranks seemed complete when he came on in the Manchester derby game to net a last minute winner for United to deny City a point at Old Trafford. It seemed the goal would kick start a greater involvement for Owen and there was talk of him possibly regaining his England place, should he continue to score goals and play more consistently.

However since then, it hasn’t really worked out for Owen. Another two goals has given Owen four this season from 18 games, which is not great statically despite the fact that in many games he was a substitute, there seems to be a growing feeling that the Owen experiment may not have a long term future.

Certainly, in terms of forwarding Owen’s hopes of regaining his place in the England squad, the move hasn’t worked out well for the striker. Fabio Capello’s need for players to be fit and playing consistently makes Owen’s chances very low.Owen has not managed to be do either of these over the last few years. However it should be known that Capello doesn’t seem to apply this rule to all of England’s strikers, Emile Heskey looks like a certainty in the team regardless of his performance at Aston Villa.

So for the time being, Owen’s wonderful last minute goal against City has been the high point of the experiment so far.Owen needs to find goals and consistency over the remainder of the season or it seems unlikely that Alex Ferguson will continue his experiment onto the next season, much in the way youngster Darron Gibson is doing. The question remains whether Owen has the ability and fitness to earn a spot in next years team, however it seems likely that Sir Alex’s gamble, in the long run, may not pay off.
