00:00Well, I think people forget that Chelsea are the club world champions.
00:03They got somewhere between £80 million to £100 million from winning that tournament last year.
00:09And the funding of that tournament, again, called into question the somewhat opaque relationships that FIFA has with some of
00:17its partners.
00:18So they made an awful lot from that.
00:21FIFA, sorry, Chelsea are excellent at selling players and we have to focus on player trading.
00:26So we forget that they've sold Cucurea, that Garnaccio potentially has gone to Villa.
00:32They've got another player gone to Manchester United and they are very, very good at selling players.
00:39So when you buy a player, you spread the cost of the player over the length of the tournament.
00:44So in the case of Morgan Rodgers, yes, it's £117 million, but that works out as £23.5 million a
00:51year that's going out on the book side of things.
