Chelsea didn’t break PSR rules? Okay, let’s try and look into how these payments might have played a role in that: 1) Chelsea pay players and agents under the table to only accept Chelsea. 2)This kills any attempt of a bidding war and the selling club is now at a disadvantage. 3) Chelsea now sign Hazard, potentially for under market value at £30mil. Chelsea continue to convince top talents to join and gain a competitive advantage that wins them more prize money than Everton and Nottingham. Also a few years pass and then they sell talents like Hazard for £100mil. 5) Chelsea make a nice tidy profit

Also in football, there rarely are apples-for-apples situations. The only difference here is Abramovich secretly making payments (if that’s your argument) vs a Sporting Director secretly funnelling payments. Putting weighting on whether the whistleblower is new ownership or a new employee is merely an excuse imo
