La Liga's President Says PSG Is "Peeing In The Pool"
La Liga president Javier Tebas is not happy with PSG's handling of Financial Fair Play rules this summer.

But since shelling out $70 million to Liverpool for Fernando Torres in January 2011, the Blues have been fairly conservative in the transfer market in stark contrast to the rest of England.
This isn’t to say the Blues have stopped spending — in fact they’re spending as much as they ever have — but in a market where everyone else is paying massive sums for every player, Chelsea’s transfer business has stayed relatively the same.
