How can you possibly believe that in this day and age for a top Premier League club to perform such criminal action for 2 decades and no one would expose it or the PL would ignore it?

I think the premier league would ignore it. I think there so scared that Chelsea and citehs owners will form a breakaway league. They were both well up for the super league (I know Levy was too). The amounts of money swimming around in football these days will eventually kill it for most of us. In 20 years time the fans will be hooray henrys paying 5k for season tickets

He's using laundered money to run Chelsea. My niece works for anti money laundering company and his name popped up few times so she recognised him when I asked.

Oh yes he does. Even if the dirty money entered the financial system at an earlier stage, the money is legitimised or to use the correct term integrated through the purchase of luxury items, businesses etc. Exactly what Abramovic has done with Chelsea.

There are probably lots of owners of clubs laundering money through football, but Chelsea is the obvious example.

Disaster of a transfer window in my opinion...
A goalkeeper we didn't need,
A young winger nobody had heard of who maybe decent in a few years.
A centre back who is apparently decent but who still has not really played and doesn't look like doing so for a while due to internationals and then quarantine after which he has another international break ...
A midfielder who is about 15 and again maybe one for the future, who has been loaned back to his French team .
And eventually a right back, who I am slightly concerned about as he is an unknown quantity and Barca happily gave him up with no buy back of anything....
So basically we still need a centre back and a midfielder and a striker just like we did before the transfer window opened.........
We have romero but gave up Toby....he should be playing with Toby...

Somewhat agree - no attacking player / striker was very poor

I also think Toby wanted out as he got tired of Levy's antics
 
The goons were the team that most spent in the summer

Said it back in the spring about the ESL, but the real monsters who will destroy football aren't the financial dopers...its the suits. The financial dopers don't care about making money, but that's the only reason the suits are in the game. The Glazers, FSG, and ENIC are the real bogeymen.

5k for a season ticket? Gonna be triple that.
