MANCHESTER CITY'S ยฃ900m FRAUD AND CHELSEA FC IN RETROSPECT
Chelsea Football Club was officially taken from Roman Abramovich when the UK government sanctioned him and froze his assets on March 10, 2022, leading to the final sale of the club to Todd Boehlyโs consortium on May 30, 2022.
Chelsea had committed only one crime - be owned by a Russian Oligarch. The Club itself and its finances were not tampered with but the club had to suffer from the effects of the premier league governing body's decisions to change ownership forcefully and to this day, hardly is there any Chelsea fan who doesn't miss Roman Abramovic.
The issue with Manchester city and Chelsea are not the same, don't get me wrong, but a crime is always a crime and severe punishments are supposed to be handed out, especially in the cases where such crimes can translate to sporting success.
Manchester city have falsified accounting figures which somehow enabled them to bypass strict financial fair play blockades so that they could purchase some of their preferred targets. This is cheating to other fair competitors and as a league, other clubs are watching keenly at what measures that would be taken by the league body.
For now, as Chelsea supporters, we're also watching because our club was taken from us in a manner that would take years to get over. ๐
