Did you know?
Over the last 10 seasons, Chelsea have generated around €1.4 BILLION from player sales, more than any other club in Europe.
Kudos to Benfica, and Monaco who continue to create huge revenue from sales, but you have to acknowledge the business Chelsea have done with regards sales. These sales continue to fuel their revenue for further transfers. As we know their model in recent years is to buy the best young talent, give long contracts, on smaller salaries, and hopefully turn a profit.
This season we see them continuing down this path, but also adding some experience which has been very much needed at the club.
What do we think? for sure those who spend the most, can possibly have larger sales but there are no guarantees in football.

As the Infantino issues continue to unfold, we wanted to discuss the mounting pressure on women’s football. Important internationals are approaching for the national teams and UEFA remains steadfast in its total boycott of all FIFA competitions despite FIFA’s recent backtracking on its controversial privatisation plans. This could be a pivotal moment for the female game. While the conflict is a broader geopolitical battle between the two governing bodies, women’s football tournaments are the immediate and most affected casualties of the standoff. Since the boycott applies to all events, upcoming women’s international matches will be the very first tests of the blockade.
Women’s football advocates are deeply frustrated that the sport is being used as a pawn in this political conflict. FIFA’s original FFE commercial only mentioned women once, yet women’s teams are bearing the brunt of the resistance. The tournament timeline is facing immediate disruption, including:
- The FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup (September 2026) in Poland.
- The FIFA Women’s World Cup Qualifiers (October 2026).
- The 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup (June/July 2027) in Brazil.
Many individual players have publicly supported the firm stance against FIFA’s governance. Chelsea and England star Lucy Bronze believes a World Cup boycott could protect the sport’s long-term integrity. Prominent female executives within UEFA, including Vice-President Laura McAllister and Norwegian FA President Lise Klaveness, were key figures in initially proposing and structuring the boycott movement.
Would you like to explore how specific European national teams are reacting or would you prefer updates on the pressure facing Gianni Infantino to resign?

- The FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup (September 2026) in Poland. European nations like England are considering skipping the tournament unless a resolution is reached.
- The FIFA Women’s World Cup Qualifiers (October 2026). High-stakes play-offs involving England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland will be boycotted.
- The 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup (June/July 2027) in Brazil. If the stalemate continues, elite European powerhouses like reigning world champions Spain, England, France and the Netherlands will not participate, effectively undermining the sporting and broadcast value of the tournament.
