Chelsea have posted their accounts of the financial year ending June 2010.
The main highlights of this were:
1) Group turnover was up from £203.3m to £205.8m
2) Operating Loss for the financial year reduced from £72.3m to £68.6m
3) Net capital expenditure reduced from £4.2m to (£15.5m) due to player sales
4) Cash inflow of £3.8m against an outflow of £16.9m in 2008/09.
I'm sorry but any club that makes an operating loss of £68.6m is not "cash positive" and the reason they're spending big in this transfer window is because any transfer activities are included in Fifa's Financial Fair Play rules and have to be accounted for.
They are not in a position to be ready for the rules, they are spending too much and are still a bit off.
