Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly accused of breaking the rules
The Pride of London discuss some recent news as Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly is accused of breaking Financial Fair Play rules and knowing exactly what he was doing. Meanwhile the Blues are closing in on the signing of Southampton’s Romeo Lavia.
A former financial advisor to Manchester City has levelled an accusation at Boehly. Whilst the Stamford Bridge side continue to spend big, Stefan Borson alleges that CFC ‘deliberately ignored’ Premier League guidelines on profit and sustainability.
The contemporary Chelsea ownership’s outlay of over £800million on new signings so far has led to questions. Borson, a lawyer, also cheekily said that the American financier overpaid for the Stamford Bridge side.

Investments are not ceasing on Fulham Road. The relegated Saints have lost a few of their talents to English top-flight outfits, such as West Ham poaching James Ward-Prowse. Now the seasiders will also most likely relinquish hold of another highly rated asset in Lavia.
The midfielder made his name in the EPL at a particularly young age and it seems to be Chelsea’s modus operandi – similarly to the loan army built by the previous administration under Roman Abramovich – to acquire more stars of the future than any other notable club. In fact, some of the youngsters who came at a high cost are so proficient already that they are making waves in the senior CFC team. Such starlets include: Axel Disasi, Carney Chukwuemeka and Andrey Santos. Though a lack of centrally fielded players accounts in some shape for the latter pair’s ascention, skilled as they are.
