Wish it was last year when it would have got them relegated

Does 442 not have a subeditor who knows what the phrase "frothing at the gash" means?

I can excuse a writer thinking it's similar to frothing at the mouth, but it's not.

Also Todd Bohelly? Abramocivc? Who checks this stuff before it goes online? If you're not going to pay a sub to make your publication look respectable at least make your monkey typists use google docs' free spell check.

We're such trendsetters 😎

Just a point won't do anything. Why not impose 2 season ban on transfers... Only allow Academy kids to replace ppl who left for free or injured. This would benefit home grown and the clubs in the long run.

All well and good while he as still pumping money into the sport. Now he's gone its a problem, huh?

Morality aside, to me it doesn’t seem like the amounts would be enough to put them in the red and fall foul of FPP?

They'll be long dead by the time any investigation has been concluded. I know a thing or two about this as my team are also being investigated for a thing or 115.

Just going to quickly editorialise here, but I have no idea why you’d tell on yourself like that

He says as he's writing an entire article that have Chelsea linked to a bigger International scandal that the Premier League would have undoubtedly found out about anyway and triggered an inevitable investigation.

Source: Trust me bro.

does it really matter, they arent gonna get relegated anyway even with a points deduction

Frothing at the gash to know who ok’d this article lmao

Facing sanctions for something that happened like 5 or 10 years ago, at least five coaches ago and a previous owner ship group seems completely asinine.

None of the people involved with anything that happened or still at the club.

Is anyone gonna start a study on how City and newcastle owners funded their success? This is a really stupid thing to do because almost every billionaire has blood on their hands. Throughout history i wouldn't be surprised if the Saudi royal family has killed the population equivalent to a small country. The abramovic news is only news because it's all politics.

The least they can do is bring in some consistency.

Chelsea risking a point deduction in 2083 going by how fast the PL is to investigate issues.

I just love that "investigation" was done by a NEWSPAPER....

The thread: Chelsea might get a points deduction.

Meanwhile Man City continues to go unscathed for hundreds of infractions…

Where are the deductions of MC?

Lol remember the articles when abramovic first got sanctions the one saying we’d go bankrupt, what happened with that? Absolutely nothing will come of this

So serious question has any PL club actually have points deducted?

Is it because they're potentially going to have points deducted from them?

I need to see more articles like this…. But for Man City

The spelling, grammar and overall writing in this article is dreadful. It smacks of shoddy journalism based upon nothing

One of many, many, many revelations from this

Was he trying to hit a word count or something? Truly an awfully written article

Someone’s definitely need Man city lawyers 😅

Seems like big trouble. After seeing news around Chelsea women CL match. Would the women side also be effected by the investigation and punishment because the finance must be linked somehow.

I guess a draw with city wasn’t in the arabs agenda.

Today I learned that Adam Clery left WhatCulture for FourFourTwo

I wonder what exactly the point of a point deduction to a club that has none of the people here that committed the breaches.

Did I just read an article about financial crimes in football that seriously used the term frothing at the gash? wtf fourfourtwo?

Great…now do Man City

Or it could be that they backchanneled the money required to pay Hazard’s agent, through these holding companies, so that a) they could avoid paying any tax on it and b) they wouldn’t have to declare it to football’s governing bodies

Hey, this is awfully familiar.

I’ll take the points deduction if it means City get blasted back to the Stone Age

They are going to get points deducted now because of the Abramovich era that ended last year?

Holy crap that’s an awfully written article

Ummm, there was an investigation via Cyprus Confidential but I haven't heard a thing from any regulatory body. Awful state of this article aside, how are they facing a points deduction when there's been no charge or even an investigation at this point? If something comes out of this it's going to be a long while before anything happens.

I fail to see why I should be worried.

And yet, Manchester City remain unpunished

How do I upvote this a million times?

What's the point of a deduction now for historical offences under previous ownership? Shouldn't the trophies they won in the time period be vacated?

Judging by the comments it’s a good thing I never give FourFourTwo a click

Do anyone remember not too long ago, when the same was said about Man City. Yeah.

Point deduction is hilarious, their league titles should be rescinded. Where’s the integrity of the competition for those seasons?
