   FFP is supposed to reduce risk-taking, but signing very long contracts is increasing their risk

   This is non sense.

   So what this long stretches do that people don't realize is that there will be more time to offload deadwoods without panic selling because of FFP and that also means, more players can come in

    TDLR: They're using rich people's best-friend 'Loopholes' to get away with it.

    That's what amortization is.

    It's literally only a concept that exists to allow rules to be bent. It's literally one of the definitions of 'creative accounting'.

    They paid £70ish million up front, and then another 20ish million in addons.

    That's not "10 million a year". That's £70 million in one year, and then 20million potentially spread over several years depending on when the addons get fulfilled.

    FFP PURPOSELY goes off amortization instead of actual cash flow so rich clubs can break the rules and get away with it.

    A normal person can't buy a £1million house but then go to the bank "well that's actually £1 a year for the next million years so yes I can afford it so give me the loan"

    FFP is nonexistent. It's a joke. Any of the clubs who are found to have breached the rules just pay their way out of punishment.

    Aren't Man City still under investigation for breaching FFP in 2018 ..??

    If Chelsea continue with this strategy then could they reach a point (say in 5 years) whereby they have mortgaged future annual budgets so much that FFP will prevent them from recruiting for a period? A bit of a gamble, it seems.

    Chelsea ain't going no where with their new players they brought in the last 6 months. perhaps they could if they have a more experience coach and has proven that.

    Simple Answer, they are "Not". Also, FFP is a myth.

    Everyone knows FFP is a paper tiger anyway.

    If they keep spending like this and don't get results they will be backed into a corner within 3 years
