I’m sure I read somewhere that relative to transfer fees at the time Chelsea were bankrolled more than City.

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
