The likes of Barcelona,Real Madrid and Manchester United spent hundreds of Millions in recent summers,signing players like Luis Suarez,Gareth Bale and Angel Di Maria but Mourinho's Chelsea who have a lesser financial FairPlay strength have has to spend more sensibly to meet FFP rules which require clubs to balance their books.
Chelsea spent £93m In the summer on stars including cesc Fabregas and Diego Costa but recouped nearly all of it through the sales of David Luiz,Romelu Kukaku and Demba Ba.
speaking on Eurosport-yahoo.Mourinho said "I Think Financial Fair Play is a contradiction because,when football decided to go for Financial Fair Play it was exactly to put teams in equal conditions to compete.
"But what happened really with the Financial Fair Play is a big protection to the historical old,big clubs which have a financial structure ,commercial structure,everything in place based on historical success for years and years and years.
"And the 'new ' clubs -I call them 'new' clubs,those with new investment -they cannot put themselves quickly at the same Level.Clubs with new owners cannot immediately attack the control and the domination of these big clubs .
"Chelsea is not an old,historical,huge club -but it's also not a club with new owner.Its a club with the same owner for
More than 10 years .A club with a very important history ,with great stability too.And at this moment I think we are just below Barca,Real Madrid,Manchester united and Bayern Munich .I can say we are a very good club with the ambition to be a great club .
