Since Chelsea's new boss, Paulie, took over, a financial report has been a bombshell revealing the maze of the club's finances. In the middle of this year, he decisively declared the situation to the English FA and UEFA, among others. The Times revealed that the English FA was delving into the details of Chelsea's 2013 transfer acquisitions of Willian and Idouo, a transfer in which Chelsea had made payments to a mysterious third party, allegedly breaking the rules and facing possible penalty points deductions.
Looking back to 10 years ago, Chelsea purchased Brazilian winger Welian from Russian club Anzhi for 30 million pounds, followed by the signing of Anzhi striker Idoğu for 2 million pounds, and the owner of Chelsea at that time was none other than Russian oil tycoon Abramovich. However, after Paulie's arrival, it was discovered that in addition to the officially recorded transfer fee, there was also an unspecified amount of money going to a mysterious third party in Russia, which was not reflected in the official accounts, and the English FA has launched an investigation into the matter.
