minus-squareMicah_JD@alien.topBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·10 months agoChelsea walked financial doping so City could run with it.
minus-squarequ1x0t1cZ@alien.topBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·10 months agoI’m sure I read somewhere that relative to transfer fees at the time Chelsea were bankrolled more than City.
minus-squareXxAbsurdumxX@alien.topBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·10 months agoYes. Adjusted for inflation, the amount Chelsea spent under Abromovich is insane even compared to City.
minus-squaresewious@alien.topBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·10 months agoI thought the issue is that when Chelsea got taken over, what they did wasn’t “against the rules”
minus-squareGreasy_Boglim@alien.topBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·10 months agoMan City pay a lot to players and management under the table though so this is apples and oranges
minus-squareOnlyOneSnoopy@alien.topBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·10 months agoOur funds came openly and directly via the owner, there were no FFP issues to try and skirt around at the time. City are funded by fake sponsors in an attempt to bypass FFP.
