Example of how this directly affected competition is the Willian transfer, he was all set to sign for Tottenham but abramovich essentially paid his agent a massive bung for him to dump spurs and sign with Chelsea. If Chelsea were ran off their own steam, like a proper football club, they wouldn’t even be in the conversation in the first place.

How on earth could you possibly know that?
The season before Roman Chelsea finished 17 points above Spurs and in a Champions League position.
This narrative Chelsea came from league 2 under Roman is lazy and reductive.
Infact the last time before Roman Spurs finished above Chelsea was 1996.
Or … just maybe William’s own report that he always preferred Chelsea is actually the truth.
