💰The Chelsea Amortisation Loophole & The Super League (might be back) | Money in Football (Patreon)

With the announcement yesterday from The European Court of Justice that FIFA and UEFA can not block the formation of competitions such as The Super League we thought we should have a chat on our latest thoughts on whether The Super League is now back on the table.

But we begin with what many have called 'the Chelsea loophole', the amortisation of player transfer fees over the length of contract, which at a vote last week by Premier League clubs has now been restricted to a maximum of 5 years rather than some of the lengthy (eg 8 years) contracts Chelsea have given out... so why did Chelsea themselves vote to close said loophole!?
