Chelsea FC face new questions over how Roman Abramovich funded success


Chelsea FC face fresh questions over how its former owner Roman Abramovich funded the club’s success, after leaked files revealed a string of secret payments that may have breached strict football rules, including those on “financial fair play”.

Experts said the transactions, uncovered through a joint investigation by the Guardian and international partners, could lead to the Premier League imposing punishments on Chelsea, such as a deduction of points.

The files reveal a series of payments worth tens of millions of pounds over a decade, routed through offshore vehicles belonging to Abramovich. The transactions in question appear to have been for Chelsea’s benefit, raising questions about whether they were declared in accounts submitted to football’s governing bodies.
Beneficiaries appear to include the agent of the star player Eden Hazard, an associate of the title-winning manager Antonio Conte and Chelsea FC officials. Other payments appear to have been connected to the purchase of the players Willian and Samuel Eto’o.

What is even real anymore :dead:


I should have screenshotted all that, one of the tweets is already gone. :laugh:

But you don't think it's odd that he supposedly said that months ago and it wasn't a running joke IMMEDIATELY? :jbhmm:


This is probably going to wind up as a lawsuit in a few months since it already has appeared on talksport and dailymail webpages.
