Initial 10, then reduced to 6 + 2 Point Deductions

[Marcus Kendall]

They could still sell a lot of players I suppose to get back into compliance, they have a huge squad.

Wouldn’t bet against them selling Palmer back to a Manchester team for a huge fee.

Wouldn't it be too late though to affect that time frame?

That would only impact their 2026 accounts. They can't change those enormous losses in 24 and 25.

And I dont think there will be much business done in June this year during a world cup anyway.

£7million fine incoming for Chelsea and a ban on signing any women for the women's team for 3 months

If they were even remotely close to breaching, they'd have been ordered to release their accounts to the league in December to give time to assess amd prosecute. This was put into place to allow sanctions to happen within the same year. The league know Chelsea's figures and have already signed them off. There will not be a single team punished with sporting sanctions for over spending ever again.

Until the next time Everton get a points deduction for some obscure reason.

And this is exactly why we are angry. Grrrr...

Chelsea’s losses:
2021: -156
2022: -119
2023: - 155
2025: -264
Some please tell me in plain English why they don’t get a deduction when they had higher losses than us? And not the ‘oh it’s because the league is corrupt’ (which I know they are). I want the actual explanation given for this.

 

[allen]

What even is the plan at Chelsea?

Stockpile players, underachieve and rack up 9-figure losses season after season?

What am I missing?

 

[Blue peter]

Chelsea just take this p1ss don’t they with creative accounting which has never been subtle but is on the face of it, even more overt now…and the PL wanted self regulation. What a joke.

The actual explanation though, really is the league is corrupt. Its the only conclusion 99.9% of people can come to

But those losses are above the threshold for a deduction. What was the reason given for not deducting points? Or was one just not given?

Nothing explained, nothing given, swept under the carpet, its one of the biggest clubs so nothing to see here.

The whole system is a farce, Chelsea know it so they've just cracked on without a care in the world.

For such an industry, that has so much money involved there should be questions raised in parliament over these double standards.

I predict a transfer ban between September and December and then a second ban between February and June. Harsh, but a message needs to be sent.

The same thing Richard Masters misses with Chelsea every year the truth.
