Chelsea owners and SDs are so good in Sports business. People give them sticks when they don't know the motives behind their moves.
Look at how they used Felix to recycle Gallagher's fee instead of losing him on a free.
And the imminent FOS deal. They could've lost £50m-£60m over 5 years if they did a deal for £35m-£40m last season due to lack of UCL. Now they are in a position to make an extra £60m-£80m after making UCL and winning the CWC.
They make calculated business moves and it keeps paying off. It's not by chance, it's a skill.
