Chelsea needing a summer exodus is nothing new, even with the publication of their worrying 2021/22 accounts. The club announced on Monday that it made losses of over £121m across that period, a large number but still less than the 12 months previous under the previous regime.
The time span only overs the early months of Todd Boehly/Clearlake Capital heading the Blues as owners but it had repercussions for them regardless. As commericial and marketing pioneers from America, their plans to raise revenue beyond precedented levels is a long way off.
This is just one avenue to cover though with player sales and matchday income another important aspect of the club's functions. A notable part of the statement came towards though, making a point that fans and even players will be concerned about.
