Yes. Adjusted for inflation, the amount Chelsea spent under Abromovich is insane even compared to City.

    I thought the issue is that when Chelsea got taken over, what they did wasn't "against the rules"

    There weren't any FFP rules.

    Earlier the 3 foreigner rule made clubs rely on regional players so they couldn't just splash money all over.

    If there weren't that rule then Berlusconi would've bought the whole Dutch national team
