Tactics and Transfers: Final Chelsea Transfers Could Ruin Brilliant Window

Though tactically astute the Argentine is less an overly intense and egotistical tactical chess player and more of a philosophical leader who can mold boys into young men with the discipline and dedication necessary to actually achieve their potential as opposed to looking at it pass by and beyond them.

They then set about doing the sort of business you would expect from an ownership group with a collection of self-made billionaires. Between Todd Boehly, Behdad Eghbali, Jose E. Feliciano, Hansjörg Wyss and Mark Walter, Chelsea has enough business acumen to think things will be handled with a cunning sense of intellect in the future.

As I’ve mentioned previously one thing the mainly American (and Swiss) ownership group will hopefully become fascinated with is that unlike in American sports football clubs and football supporters often personally attach to the image of their owners. They take pride in the good (and embarrassment in the bad) business dealings of the people shaping these spiritual sporting enterprises.

If Chelsea are lucky the group of men at the head of the new Chelsea FC company (Blue Co) will become enamored with this as a way to prove their genius in the bigger business world that sports is a high stakes member of.

So the fact that they were able to shift out this summer so far €253 million worth of talent in fees and well over roughly €75 million worth of salary is impeccable business.

Though people made a fuss over the fact that Chelsea spent so much money in their first couple of windows but now over a 24-month period have the sort of net spend that any other large club has is admirable.
