Premier League investigating secret Eden Hazard payments
While City’s 115 charges case may have taken up the most column inches, Chelsea have already admitted some allegations of a similar nature.

When Boehly and Clearlake bought the club, the due diligence process uncovered what have been characterised as irregular parallel payments to new signings during the Roman Abramovich era.

Hazard + Willian (+ other players who weren't about to join us).

Hope the scum get everything they deserve.

Think Rangers were demoted 2 divisions up in Scotland for pretty much the same offence but that wide boy Boehly will probably just buy his way out of it.

Rangers were demoted as they entered liquidation and assets were moved to a new company structure.

So as it was a new company they had to enter the league from the bottom again.

Have spoken to some of my Celtic mad friends and they said that Rangers were making hidden payments to quite a few players and as the payments were not being declared, HMRC were being cheated out of a considerable amount of tax. As a result, the club couldn’t pay her majesty what they owed and went bust.

So you are correct Yid-Ol, a new club Sevco was formed and had to start at the bottom of the league pyramid.

Quite hilarious really that a club that prides itself on its Britishness was actually cheating the taxman.

Can we sue Chelsea for loss of earnings? Surely with Hazard we’d have won a cup😄
