Chelsea 'inform HMRC and FA of a tax issue before £4.25bn takeover'
The Times are reporting that Chelsea's new owners have identified 'an area of concern' in relation to the club's tax affairs while looking over their purchase of the Premier League side.

"Another hiccup in the Chelsea takeover has emerged after the club reportedly informed HMRC and the Football Association of a tax issue from before the £4.25billion sale last month.
The west London club's new owners, led by Todd Boehly, had withheld over £100million from the takeover price in case of any 'unforeseen liabilities' from the Roman Abramovich era were inherited."
I wonder, if they were fiddling the figures, if there are FFP implications?
