Chelsea have announced a £262m pre-tax loss for 2024-25 - the biggest in Premier League history.

It eclipses the £197.5m lost by Manchester City in 2011 and means the Blues now occupy four places in the top ten list of biggest pre-tax losses in the Premier League era as seen below.

It comes despite Chelsea bringing in £490.9m in revenue, which the club says is the second highest total in their history.

The club insist they remain compliant with financial regulations such as Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) which allow losses of £105m over three years.

Blues fans, do these losses concern you? Is it symptomatic of wider problems? Or are you only concerned with what you see on the pitch?
