Wait you’re telling me that Chelsea’s meteoric rise to winning trophies, immediately after being acquired by a Russian oligarch who was friends with Putin, is in some way connected to ill gotten gains?
It's a shocker, I know!
What's new? Every couple of months "new" information comes out about some financial transaction that some club made. Football is a cesspool of secret money transfers and underhanded dealings.
Call me when something concrete comes out or when a club is actually punished.
I'm not even sure these files were actually "leaked". Chelsea have been reviewing the books and submitting opaque transactions as possible FFP violations to the PL since the new owners took over. Are these violations different from the ones that were self-reported?
Well that's a bit vague, isn't it. Doesnt provided any convincing information just that the previous club owner may have done something sketchy with the club's profits. Some sources revealed Chelsea's profits directly go to Putin's pockets. How do this breach financial fair play? We ain't doping the transfer market with state fund money. It's just roman's own business what he does with the profits how does that lead to point deduction after this whole fiasco
It's a bit late for that
Make them give all their assets to Fulham
Lmao, 20 years later: hang on a sec...
The only reason this post was isn’t downvoted to hell is bc Chelsea fans are outnumbered, they’re in denial about stuff like this lol
Not really check our sub
Wow, a criminal doing criminal things? No way!
oh fuck off. If Chelsea spent $10bil and failed nobody would care. Why the fuck clubs with little success can't become successful? Who cares where's the money come from? $1 biil to football is far far better than $1 bil to guns/rpg/killing children.
cool looking forward to city being docked points in 2040
I want them to get the Juventus Calciopoli special but we all know they’ll go ‘new owners mate, nothing to do with us’ and the EPL will happily forget about it.
Why is it that teams like Chelsea and City can manage to do this in the first place, and then there's no reprocussion discussions until a decade later?
The FA, Premier League, FIFA - whoever, need to start being more proactive with laws instead of reacting to teams taking the piss.
