Lmao, 20 years later: hang on a sec…
Is this any different than City taking ‘revenue’ from shell companies owned by their club’s owner? If nothing will be done to City for money laundering and stuff like that I doubt anything comes of this.
And despite all of this, the Premier League will keep opening its legs to any shitty human with a lot of money.
Do you know what money laundering is?
It was nice while it lasted.
What new questions? Must be a slow news day at the Guardian
They can borrow our trophy cabinet if the league ever does anything about all those plastic trophies they won. It’s spotless just like theirs was before Daddy Russia.
What’s new? Every couple of months “new” information comes out about some financial transaction that some club made. Football is a cesspool of secret money transfers and underhanded dealings.
Call me when something concrete comes out or when a club is actually punished.
I’m not even sure these files were actually “leaked”. Chelsea have been reviewing the books and submitting opaque transactions as possible FFP violations to the PL since the new owners took over. Are these violations different from the ones that were self-reported?
Now we know why they signed all those players to 8 year deals. Welcome to the championship lads!
Well that’s a bit vague, isn’t it. Doesnt provided any convincing information just that the previous club owner may have done something sketchy with the club’s profits. Some sources revealed Chelsea’s profits directly go to Putin’s pockets. How do this breach financial fair play? We ain’t doping the transfer market with state fund money. It’s just roman’s own business what he does with the profits how does that lead to point deduction after this whole fiasco
The FA and UEFA: Oh No! Anyway…
NOW they ask questions… not in 2004 but 2023 when the twat is gone… fucking media man asking the right questions at the wrong time just a casual 20 years too late…
Right.
It’s a bit late for that
Oil
And some gas. Some rare Earth materials. And a good dose of corruption!
Chelsea’s success will always have an asterix next to it - if they were owned by Arabs, of course.
Both clubs cheated, and have caused the PL to become worse as a result
The extent of Chelsea’s cheating and cities cheating are barely even comparable. It’s like one slapped a grandma and the other committed a genocide.
We all knew their success was bullshit, let’s hope this is the nail in the coffin that confirms it.
They can financially dope all they wish, but the players still have to perform, the manager still has to do a job. Money doesn’t buy competence or success.
It clearly does. Believing that the wealthiest clubs aren’t consistently they most successful is denying reality.
You could say the same for chemical doping…
Time to post another pathetic megathread on your sub.
Arsenal fans had Usmanov owning their club for a long time and begged him to own it fully at times too so it’s always funny when they cry about Abramovich.
And the former shareholders of the club refused to sell any more to him, and passed away before cashing out on a sale to avoid him taking over instead of Kroenke because of his character. Not the same situation at all
