Hey Ed, lets say Chelsea does not win the Champions league nor Prem and just retains the FA cup, do you think that players like Drogba and Essien may consider to move elsewhere? {ed's note - not Essien no, unless the club decide to cut their losses because of his injury problems. But Drogba is different, his wages and age might lead to him being on his way in the summer regardless.}

Hey Ed, any chance of Chelsea signing young Spanish and Real Madrid attacking midfielder Sergio Canales in the summer? Reports from Spain states that he is ready to leave the capital as he does not agree with Mourinho and is not getting adequate game time. {ed's note - he has apparently had a falling out with Jose, but I still can't see them letting him go as he is the real darling of Perez's eye. He paid a lot of money for him and he is just a young kid who is seen as the future of the SPanish team. I can't see them letting him go.}

The argument was down to Ray being over friendly with the opposition team manager (Jose Mourinho) during and after the tie. Personally i feel it was another cost cutting idea from Gourlay. {ed's note - as I heard it Roman told Gourlay to get rid of him following the argument.}

I have heard the same Ed, but what i cannot understand is, if that was the case then why did it take so long to sack him? The reason i think it was partially a cost cutting scheme is because no decent replacement came in. {ed's note - I think it was just what decided whether or not his costs were going to be cut or not more than anything.}

Hey ed, last night ray wilkins said the reason he left was because of an argument with roman, any ideas what the row was about? {ed's note - I don't mate, I did hear the story about it, but was told that Wilkins made what others would consider throwaway remarks but Roman was furious about them. He is just not the kind of person to take that kind of thing lightly, you don't make the money he has by being nice to people!}

NO NO NO, mate you have got it all wrong, Ray said he has no idea whatsoever why he was sacked, he said Chelsea is yet to give him a reason, he said it was NOT down to the argument with Roman after the Inter defeat, he reckons Roman would have sacked him on the spot otherwise.

Well if indeed roman is going to sell, new owners will want to invest in the business, if he does sell in the summer they will have time to invest into the club, Qatar owners may be interested in buying either man utd or chelsea to enchance the country before the 2022 world cup

Well if they want a money making business then they will buy United, United without debts would make 80m profits every year. We will make small losses every year. However we would cost just 500m whereas United would cost 1.5bn so they may opt to buy us?

If i was a businessman i would buy Spurs. Good squad, good support and they would cost very little.

1905-CFC {ed's note - no, you were called a scaremongerer because you were talking about how the club was finished. There is nothing to stop the club spending money, Roman stopped the funding years ago but you still spent big money on Ramires in the summer. Chelsea doesn't need Roman, not anymore, he has put the club back on its feet.}

Ed i have never said Chelsea are finished, i said Roman has stopped the spending and i am worried our youngsters are not ready. Also what do you mean Roman stopped funding years ago? Who do you think bought Ramires, Delac, Kalas & Benayoun in the summer? Roman funded the money. We have no money Ed, we make losses every year, big losses.

The point i have been trying to make for the past few months is he will stop funding from now onwards, its what i have heard and i am not the only one. Ed i am not saying we are going to be in big trouble, i was just letting my peers know that we will not be signing Pastore or Kaka and that its far more likely that we will have to rely on the players we have got and the youth coming through.

If i am honest i am glad we are no longer relying on Romans wallet, i feel we will get a much better feeling winning honours without his help. I think that is fair enough don't you?

1905-CFC {ed's note - by the way I would just like to point out I never called you a scaremonger myself. But Roman didn't fund the signings as such, he is trying to get the club on an even keel, but knew you weren't quite ready last season with all the big earners leaving. He will take that money back, it was just loaned because he knows the savings on wages will cover the transfer fees paid. Nothing wrong with standing on your own two feet, it is how it should be, just look at how many teams have fallen apart when they lose their benefactor!}

Me and another fella have been saying all of this for months now, and we get called Scaremongers by Sharkey and one of the Editors. I am certain that Roman has stopped the funding, made huge cutbacks and is looking for a way out of the club.

But what do i know, i am just a scaremonger.

I do remeber sharkey saying some stuff on this he did say if i can remember that Barca and real wouldn't follow these rules, and they would be a slap on the wrists, and that a club can spend up to 45 million on top of what they earn

And i am sure it is speculation my friend

Clubs can make a €45m {£38m} loss over 3 years from 2011/12 - 2013/14, that is a around £12m a year. But lets not forget we are expected to make losses of at least £30m in the first year so that leaves us with just £8m for the following two seasons 2012/13 & 2013/14. After 2013/14 we are expected to break even. We have signed the agreement which says we will abide by these rulings, so punishment would be inevitable.

If Sharkey did indeed tell you that Real & Barcelona will break the rules then he is mistaken, both will abide by these rules and they will do it with ease, this is why they done their spending and building their squads before hand. Why do you think Real had that big spending spree buying Kaka, Ronaldo, Benzema etc.

Sharkey is right in a way, if we break the rules the first time we will get a warning & a massive club fine, second time will be a bigger fine and points taken away, then if we mess up again we will be banned from the CL, this means we will then be banned the following year as we will miss out on the CL money from the year before and so on. Remember the figures will be take four times a year (Quarterly), there is no way around this.

But all this is irrelevant anyway as Roman has no intention of trying to find ways around the rulings, Roman has no intention of spending anymore money full stop. We still need to cut our wage bill down so its important our youth come through this year as next year we will be letting the older players go. I am looking forward to this, our youth is great and we have a great future ahead, exciting times ahead guys.

I would like to add that our youth system equates to around £5-10m, so because of this we will be allowed to make £5-10m losses as these figures are disregarded under the new rulings.
