‼️In cash terms, the benefits of UEFA’s junior competitions to a club carrying Chelsea’s operational costs are marginal; in the Conference League, which often involves substantial travel and where home games pale in significance to Champions League fixtures, it’s debatable whether the club even turns a profit from participation.

As well as the obvious point that being in the Champions League helps attract talent, the missing revenue from not being in the competition means Chelsea will need to take extra care to stay within the settlement agreement. That includes their transfer spending, which has been enormous in the past few seasons.
