Premier League chief executive Richard Masters has revealed Chelsea might have to sell players to balance their books after spending £600million on new signings this season. "I am not here to defend them. The new owners have owned the club for less than a year, they’ve had two transfer windows. You need to judge the football club after three or four years. They might have bought, they would argue probably they have a different transfer policy to the previous regime - younger players, longer contracts and lower wages. "Obviously within our rules, it is a test over a 12-month period so the question is whether they are going to sell some of their existing players in the next window. I don’t have the answer to that question, I’m certainly not here to defend them but you have to judge these things over a period of time," he stated at the Financial Times Business of Football Summit.
