Football

One day Clive, one day it will be Chelsea providing the LOLs. It may
not be next year or the one after, but one day they will and it will
be glorious

I lived through the late 1970s and early 1980s when Chelsea was the victim of over ambitious ground development coupled with a major economic turn down and soaring interest rates. We have emerged from that into a period of massive money being available from a global football watching market.

While it is possible that Chelsea (and any other club) might suffer from poor management and other circumstances, the chances are diminishing for bigger more successful clubs. Financial Fair Play is there to ensure that those who are already rich can stay rich and those who are not can never compete. If Liverpool slip up too much now, there could be no way back.
