I would say it's similar but with an important key difference, in the Man City case, I don't think us refusing to sell them Walker would have stopped them winning the league this season instead of us, it's possible it could have done but I would say it's more unlikely that it affected the outcome.Walker and Man Shitty is a prime example
Contrast this with Chelsea, allowing Matic to go to Man Utd, I believe that is much more likely to have a bearing on a top 4 place. It is quite possible that Chelsea could miss out on top 4 by finishing 5th, it is also possible they may miss out by between 1-5 points, I believe Man Utd aren't in the same boat as Man City, they are not so far ahead of their rivals like Man City are, I think without Matic they may not have made it, you can see that he is highly integral for them as the moaning Mourinho has alluded to.
I also hope this scenario doesn't arise because I desperately want to see us in the final but imagine again if Man Utd, narrowly beat Chelsea in the final and Matic is again the key difference.
You could say that if either or both scenarios occurs, then Chelsea really have dropped a bollock or two. I don't want us doing the same by letting Toby go to one of those two.
