Roman Abramovich Cuts

Chairman Bruce Buck said: ‘The club’s debt load has been reduced almost to nil in order to provide more long-term stability for the club.

‘The reduction will also enable the club to comply with any regulations on debt levels which are being discussed by the football community.’

‘It is still our aim to be self-sufficient and we will achieve this by increasing our revenues as we continue to leverage off our brand,’ said Gourlay. ‘We are reducing our costs by controlling expenses, including salaries and wages.’
Chelsea’s year-end financial figures show an annual loss of £44.4m – down from £65.7m last year.
