Initial 10, then reduced to 6 + 2 Point Deductions

I would hope there would be a vote of no confidence in Masters and a new Chief Executive appointed, maybe someone from the Football League who knows how to put clear rules in place and implement them, no matter which club it is that contravenes the rules.

 

[Wat Tyler]

I still remember them statements from Prentice literally thanking the PL. Beyond pathetic.

 

[Tipp blue]

Reckon this is less to do with the points than the principle and the fact a supposed ‘sporting sanction’ has left us open to litigation and financial settlements / liabilities against other clubs.
Whatever the reason please please see it through.

Also the precident of financial punishments are not for clubs with wealthy owners. Also it's obvious Chelsea had a sporting advantage just look at the players involved in the shady dealings...

Nothing will happen but happy the club have point out the league hypocrisy

Give us our points back masters, you chinless, snivelling, cheating prick.

Oh, and Matt “rs” Hughes of the guardian can take a short run up the m62, the little gobshite - He needs legging, shouldn’t be allowed near BMD ever - the prick was the pls Goebbels to dicky masters Adolf - absolutely loved printing anything he could to continue to hurt us while we were on the floor.

He genuinely needs tracking down and dealing with.

He’s demonstrably tried to damage the club with a relentless campaign of toxic articles.

Probably this. But the more noise people create about this farce, the more difficult it gets for those bastards to let Chelsea (and City) off with something small for the other 27583738584738582 breaches.

Unlikely, but Masters behind bars would be the best outcome

Said it before, Masters would make a perfect Tory MP..

Then again if he wasn’t haranguing Everton he looks like the sort of the bloke who would be stalking female celebrities…we are helping society after all!!

The amount of fellatio of the super silk, who did the cumulative of FA, compared to the NF lad who just said "try it" and they got a significantly less deduction whilst being MAAAASSIVELY over what we were, was insane. They should have lost their law license for how crap they represented us.

To be honest we shouldn’t have wasted our time and money appointing a lawyer after Moshiri had represented us in the first hearing and told them that we needed a midfield.

Can’t argue with that.

See also RS fans - if they didn’t spend most weekends as full kit telly clappers, lord knows what they’d get up to.

Everton exploring legal options over lack of sporting sanctions against Chelsea

Everton are exploring a possible legal challenge against the Premier League for their handling of Chelsea’s undisclosed payments sanction

www.theguardian.com

Lovely stuff. Let’s go for them

I can't help feeling this is only being done now to ward off the Burnley threat...

Even so, about bloody time. What a gang of simps we have had running this club for too long.

 

[WestStandLower]

Obviously being a Chelsea supporter I was thankful that we got.. well not much. But until the FA commission reports we won’t know for sure just what the final tally is . In some quarters it’s suggested the biggest sanction will flow from the FA charges and again it’s being suggested that could well be sporting sanctions.

Reading the PL sanctions agreement it’s pretty obvious that the fact that none of the “ Off the books payments” were funded from a Chelsea bank account worked to our benefit. Also the fact that as it states in that agreement the fact that the PL hadn’t been able to interview the likes of Abramovich (RA) nor were they in a position to force individuals no longer involved in football to assist meant quite simply that they weren’t confident that any PL case put before an IC would result in such an IC finding against the club particularly if the new owners weren’t willing to sign the matter off by way of a sanction agreement.

Put another way the new owners agreed, for the purposes of a conclusion, that the monies paid from a number of RA companies were for the benefit of the club but the inference is that position would not be agreed if there were to be a full IC hearing.

What we haven’t seen, nor will it be put in the public domain is the full report and conclusions the disciplinary process has reached and which in turn would have provided a detailed background to the IC members who then signed off the sanctions agreement.

Yep we have got off lightly that’s for sure

People seem to be forgetting that we pleaded guilty to the charges, so we are not without sin.

What needs to be discussed is only the disparity on the levels of punishment. PL claimed that a fine was unsuitable for clubs with wealthy owners, it had to be a points deduction.

Our letter should ask what has changed, because undoubtedly the Chelsea owners are as rich as rich can be.

Moreover, during due diligence, they made a provision of £150 million for such fines and/or misdemeanours, so surely the fine should have been at that level, if the non- points deduction has any merit, which it does not.

Furthermore, how much income did they get for Champions League participation during the cheat period? Significantly more than the £150 mill, never mind the relatively low fine now levied.

None of this stands the slightest scrutiny, little wonder many fans see the PL as corrupt. Even if they don’t change Chelsea’s fine, there must be change at the PL if they are to hold any credibility as an organisation.

Where is the Football Regulator in all this?

 

[Saint Domingo]

The PL literally only care about United Liverpool and Arsenal.

They couldn’t give one about whether something is unfair to Everton or Forest or not.

They decide things solely based on their own economic interest and that means who brings in tv subscribers and that’s primarily those three teams.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Interesting that we’re supposedly talking/strategising with Forest on this
