The owners of Chelsea have lost £ 1 billion in the last two seasons, despite the fact that the club makes a profit.
The blues are checked by Chiefs Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali via parent company 22 Holdco Ltd.
The company, which also owns the Chelsea Women's team and the French side Strasbourg, has posted worrying figures in their latest accounts.
This season they have lost no less than £ 445.5 million and it will come after they have ended the previous year with a shortage of £ 653 million
Acting for two years, the losses of the company are £ 1.1 billion.
22 Holdco Ltd borrowed £ 967 million and again paid loans of £ 317 million this year, and paid £ 94 million in interest on their loans.
The accounts blame “Investments in the Playing Squads” for the worrying financial report.
These figures come at a time when Chelsea made the win of £ 129.6 million during the 2023-24 season.
There is a difference between the finances of the holding company and the club after the women's side was sold to a sister company for £ 200 million and two hotels at Stamford Bridge went for £ 76.5 million.
Premier League rules enable Chelsea to register these transactions and it helped them make a profit.
However, generated cash may not count as income for 22 Holdco LTD when reporting to HMRC.
The sale of the women's team and hotels helped Chelsea in avoiding a violation of the Prem profit and sustainability rules.
Teams may not lose more than £ 105 million for a period of three years and the regulations have not taken into account the transactions of Associated Party after a change could not be agreed after a vote last summer.
UEFA, however, has different rules and only allows a loss of £ 75 million for the same three -year period.
They also have no transactions of the accompanying parties in the books.
UEFA is said to assess the sale of Chelsea of the women's team and they have previously handed out fines for clubs that have violated rules.
