Chelsea like Barca only have one option and that's increase income. As noted before their costs are too significant to reduce and I am just shocked they made such an obvious blunder. They will be the first English club to trot out the Super League again, City will be second because I think they will get relegated.
I saw this coming for Chelsea. Around my wedding I did what they did in terms of spreading payments for a few things over time rather than just sticking to what I could afford. To live within my means for a few months became a problem and I ended up having to pay interest on a couple credit card bills.
I have been able to increase my income so I got away with it but Chelsea are unlikely to be able to do that. Its mad that at that level this mistake was made and it really wasn't picked on enough at the time for how problematic it could be. Reporting is so weak and a lot of people are really brainwashed into believing past performance is an indicator of future success.
