Chelsea has made significant investments in new players and managerial costs this year.

The necessity to sell players in the summer will grow as a result of the managerial costs.

Graham Potter is expected to receive almost £13 million in compensation from Chelsea after being fired, bringing the club’s total expenditure on managerial salaries to more than £50 million in just nine months.

 

After granting Thomas Tuchel a payoff of £10 million, Chelsea paid Brighton a Premier League-record £22 million to remove Potter and his contract staff from the Amex Stadium in September.

 

Potter has also made a salary during his brief tenure of about £7 million.

 

As the club announced losses of £121 million for the 2021/22 season last week, Chelsea’s enormous managerial expenditure will enhance the necessity for a big player sale this summer in order to comply with the Premier League’s spending limits.

 

After the Todd Boehly-led takeover last summer, they have spent an unprecedented £550 million on new players, and because of this, their budget will need to be reduced going ahead.

Chelsea will experience a big loss in revenue next season, which will further exacerbate the situation. It is estimated that missing out on Europe will cost them almost £80 million.

The cost of managerial expenditure is all recorded in the same year, unlike the cost of player signings, which is spread across five years for accounting purposes.
