Pleasantly surprised when I first read the news. It means that we are unlikely to go the Leeds or Portsmouth way.

Good news. But how did we make profit in the transfer market?

OH NO! We have PROFIT!!! Please don't we turn into Arsenal!!!! PLEASE NO!!!!!

Josh is turning into some player....his place is at chelsea for sure...this chelsea team will be scary soon enough..but i am so happy for josh...that he is not doing a kakuta...praise God!!

this proves the you we can win trophies and make profit simultaneously unlike some london club that ONLY makes profit without winning anything.... Right now, i feel so proud to be BLUE.

This shows that chelsea are moving in the right direction and we must brace ourselves for better times to come. Profits for the first time in 10 years? That is good news.

Good News!!!

Well it only took winning the CL and not including the combined signings of Moses, Hazard and Oscar in the figures.(£100m+ including agent fees, sgning on fees etc) Congratulations!

hahahahahaha... The haters are already here. We've just proved to everyone that we can splash money on quality players, win trophies and still make profit financially. This must be really painful for our london neighbours..... ROFLMAO

The penalty of fortune........The penalty that secured our future.....The penalty that make us the next big thing in the world of football. Imagine where we would have been now had Terry scored that penalty in Mosco. WE KNOW WHAT WE ARE, WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS OF EUROPE! #We Will Beat Juventus In Turin#

Arsene's worst nightmare. However, there is a lot to be learned from the numbers posted. 1.) REVENUES - £255.7m from the previous year's level of £222.3m. From the numbers publicly available, Chelsea was paid or made €59.935m from the UCL. That's £48mm from the UCL. Last year we made 44.5mm Euros from the UCL because we exited at the UCL quarter-final stage. We also made £54.4mm from the PL giving us a total of £102.4mm from TV money. Not sure if that is all that comes from TV, but those are the figures that are out there for now. Matchday revenues will increase, but not considerably like the UCL revenues. I suspect the other contributor to our revenue increase is probably from commercial revenues. In the 2010-2011 season however, it should be noted the following occurred - Matchday Revenues - Man U - £109mm, Arsenal - £93mm. Chelsea - £68mm. Pretty clear a BIGGER STADIUM is needed because it is not possible to win the UCL every season. It is imperative we make a deep run however. To illustrate the importance of UCL. See the payouts - UCL payout - CFC - €59.94MM. Bayern - €41.73m. Barca - €40.550m, Real Madrid - €38.43m. The quarter-finalist make around 31mm Euros to 35mm Euros. Difference btwn winner & finalist - €18mm (£15mm). Difference between winner and semi-finalist is around the same amount. Difference between the winner and quarter finalist is around £17mm - £20mm. Chelsea won't win the UCL every season as much as we would like to so we'll need to find other ways to plugging this £17mm - £20mm gap every season in form of increased commercial revenues and match day receipts. Hopefully, the Sauber, Gazprom, Singha, Samsung, Delta and that Myanmar Whiskey deal should help provide some bridges to that gap from this season and hopefully next. From the 2014-2015 season, we would also see our PL revenues increase from £54mm - £60mm (depending on where we end up) to about £84mm - £95mm. About a £30mm increase. The ONLY ISSUE THAT HAS NO CAPACITY TO INCREASE IS OUR MATCHDAY REVENUES BECAUSE OF OUR LIMITED STADIUM CAPACITY. We have to move and a decision to move has to be agreed between the fans and the heads of Chelsea quickly.....

Glad to see everything that has eluded us all these years coming around. Champions league trophy, Beautiful football and now Anual profit. RDM must be a goodluck charm

Absolutely Brilliant. No words can describe how amazing that is.

This figures make him think of the failed investment in torres. The total worth of fernando torres deal that brought him to chelsea is £98.6million. £50million in transfer fee and £48.6million in wages over the next five and half years that he signed for. What disastrous waste of money. This must be the worst signing in football cos unlike some fellas who are still hoping that he will somehow miraculous recover his form that has long left him, i have given up on him. My concern now is that he is holding us back from progressing by taking up a place in our lineup that should be afforded someone else to make a go.

Glad to hear...Chelsea doing good on the business end. Now we can increase the profit by reducing the big earners/old gangsters @ the club and attracting more fans through good football which will hopefully bring more success. Very nice.

No buyout clauses for players in the premier league. And please. let's not compare Oscar to kaka yet. Not now please. One is a former world player of the year and was bought a season after he won such illustrious award being an instrumental part in AC Milan's UCL win. Oscar is yet to score a goal in the premier league. Let's relax it a bit. The boy is class, but he is not even yet on Ozil's level talkless of Kaka at his peak. We also never know if he will ever surpass Kaka at his peak or will. let's relax the hype a bit.

@kaku, too late for that now. Manor menezes always compares them and Oscar's reputation is based on kaka's legacy as most pundits, neutrals and even platini compared them. David luiz, neymar, ramires and hulk all compare them. Whenever you hear the name Oscar , it is usually followed by kaka and it seems our youngster loves it! as he can't stop taking pictures beside Kaka lol

Hoe we grow from strength to strength

Let them maintain the same and enter a new era in profitability. Be warned that all the seasons transfers are not included because they came after the financial year.
