Those backers are in Saudi. So when a player becomes 'surplus to requirements' Chelsea are just going to sell them to Al Hillal or whomever for an outrageous fee and....would you look at that! The books are miraculously balanced!

Yeah, he has those backers, but they're obviously against the limit at this point. They haven't spent anything this month and the only talk has been about them selling. It's also harder to shift some of these guys at this point. And selling someone with 7 years left isn't going to help the situation that much because you only get so much credit. They're basically looking at selling homegrown players to gain some FFP flexibility (which is why Gallagher comes up), but he's actually useful.
It's glorious to watch them be so bad after the shopping spree. What's really going to make this amazing though, is when they get a new round of sanctions (they've already admitted guilt) and they still have no room and are handcuffed.
