When are Chelsea being punished....

for their admission of financial cheating under Abramovich.

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/nov/16/chelsea-facing-fa-and-premier-league-probe-for-possible-ffp-breaches#:~:text=During%20the%20course%20of%20the,Premier%20League%2C%20Uefa%20and%20FA.

Couple issues here:

Submitting false accounting information. Same as City are being accused of. No precedent yet set as to the extent of punishment dished out for this but i would assume this would carry a greater punishment than the actual breach of FFP, because it's fraud. Potential legal/HMRC case to answer too !


Clear breach of FFP.

This saw Everton get a 10pt deduction reduced to 6 on appeal.

Forest got a 2 point deduction and it is understood that this was reduced from being higher due to their admission and cooperation.

I suppose it depends on the number of offences and the amounts involved, but you would expect it to be a quite significant punishment, even allowing for the fact that they have fessed up.

As far as i am aware, there are no charges currently, only an investigation.

Come on PL...pull your finger out. You have a revenue of billions, get a proper compliance team set up to deal with all these cheats expeditiously

They should charge Chelsea then spend the next 2 years looking for evidence.

I believe that’s how they operate
