Chelsea has announced a profit of $18.4million for the year ending
June 30 2014 as the largest since Russian Oligarch Roman Abramovich took
over the club 11 years ago.
Following the club website on Thursday, there was also a record
turnover of $319.8million although transfer receipt of around $87million
is added from the sale of Juan Mata to Manchester united and David Luiz
to Paris St Germain.
However Chelsea claims that with the figure demonstrated they have
satisfied UEFA’s break- even criteria under the financial fair play
regulation(FFP).
“By reaching the champion league semi-final and maintaining a
challenge in the premier league until the final week of the season we
demonstrated that, while improving our financial figures, we remained
competitive in football’s toughest club competition” chairman Bruce Buck
said.
“In the era of FFP, we must progress commercially to continue the circle of success to invest in the team and get result”.
The club has admitted in the past that increasing match day income
will be difficult unless they can move from Stamford Bridge or increase
the ground capacity
