        No, he’s using Nazi Germany as an example of how football has been corrupted by less than benevolent interests for a very long time.

          I mean yeah I get it, but that’s leaving out a relevant historical context as to why those things happened.

          I agree that Chelsea should not be seen as “where things gone wrong”, but pointing out to Nazi Germany to say things have always been wrong just seems whataboutism with a really low bar

      I don’t get what we’re doing here trying to paint Chelsea’s spending as some new wave ruining football.

      Exactly!

      This isn’t even the first time Chelsea’s spending ruined football!
