The basic position is this. We were done for financial mismanagement. That's the truth - there were rules and we breached them. We can argue about the sanction or what the PL asked for but they are fundamental facts.
If any team is found to have deliberately mislead however that has to be more serious.
It cannot be right that a change of management means that there is no sporting sanction. The argument that it would result in no self-reporting is flawed. It assumes that Directors who pass the Fit and Proper test are not Fit and Proper as otherwise they would self-report. What would stop any club from immediately changing management on discovery of issues so as to avoid a sporting sanction.
I think that it is safe to assume that Chelsea, having self-reported, felt that there is a case or even a partial case to answer. What will not be raised in any sanctions hearing is that at Chelsea the culture may have changed since their takeover, but no one can doubt that their current management has flown close to the wind. Pushing the boundaries on contract lengths and on inter company sales.
I assume that they may jump to a sanctions hearing and if so that will give a better idea of the possible sanctions in the Man City case if they (Man City) were found to be liable.

Wouldnt be a word said from anyone in the media like sky, would just come from this fanbase. And the amazing pushback we had to the psr case unlike several other teams in this league forest ect. Is something i hope the club does take a stand on

I try not to think about that. As bad as it was, we have new owners, a new stadium and a better team. We will have more leverage in the next points deduction scandal. I'm sure the Friedkin's have taken note of the whole debacle and will be prepared for any more shenanigans from the league.

I notice Chelsea didn't give up their place in the Club World Cup. Y'know, seeing as they qualified for that by winning CL under the previous owner and during the period they are alleged to have been cheating in.

The most ridiculous claim since the fraudulent advertising case against the film ‘The NeverEnding Story’.

It was said a while ago, even if they were to win. The most they can get would be 5mil max. No idea how that came about. But dont think they have a chance of a win anyway

Honestly I think this is absolute absurd. But it is also Everton so I expect this to go against us even though our PSR breach was due to stadium costs and it has already been stated that on field advantage is impossible to quantify.

Hope they get laughed out of court and relegated again.

It’s very very speculative and the only winners will be those earning legal fees.

I wonder if Hill Dickinson will be representing us?

We finished 4 points and two places ahead of them, if this is the season they are moaning about. So many ifs, buts and maybes in football. How can they say that we would have 100% finished below them if we had been deducted points? It may have galvanised us and we may have finished further ahead. How does this not get laughed out of court?
