Sweden qualify for the World Cup and the very next day he’s declared he wants to start training again, he’s absolutely shameless 👏😂

Liverpool have confirmed that Alexander Isak will return to team training on Thursday 💪 The striker hasn't featured since picking up an injury against Spurs back in December.

@nogojiggy Never complained once and we have played in the stadium numerous times before.

At some point, senior Premier League execs have to offer a proper explanation in public for their leniency towards Chelsea. They owe an explanation to fans of clubs punished more harshly. They owe an explanation to those clubs who did abide by the rules. They have to offer some explanation as to why PSR breaches are deemed far more serious than acts of "deception and concealment". Yes, these are the offences of a previous regime at Chelsea. But inconsistencies run through the PL's defence and their reputation is damaged. They can’t hide from a controversy of this magnitude.

Good result for Chelsea: club fined only £10m and given a suspended transfer ban after Premier League found 36 separate undisclosed payments totalling £47.5m made “to 12 persons or entities on behalf of the club”. Lenient sanctions. No sporting sanctions. Yet these are serious offences, as the sanction agreement between the PL and Chelsea makes clear, stating “they were not only obvious and deliberate breaches of the rules but also because they involved deception and concealment in relation to financial matters”.
Yet no points deductions. Just a manageable (if record) fine and a “suspended one-year first-team player transfer ban (suspended for two years)”. Surely they gained a sporting advantage by recruiting such players? So surely a sporting sanction should be in order? And where's the consistency? In 2008, Luton Town received a 10-point deduction for irregularities in dealing with agents (nb from FA). There still could be some further sanctions by the FA following its "ongoing investigation".
PL points to mitigating factors: current owners Clearlake/Todd Boehly in May 2022 voluntarily self-reported potential historical breaches from the Roman Abramovich era. Club co-operated extensively and helped provide (with others) 10,000 documents for PL investigation.
PL established “that between 2011 and 2018, undisclosed payments by third parties associated with the club were made to players, unregistered agents and other third parties”. Payments related to the purchases of players including Eden Hazard, Willian, Samuel Eto’o, David Luiz, Andre Schurrle and Nemanja Matic - there is no suggestion any were aware of the illicit payments.
The detailed work of the investigators – and level of Clearlake’s co-operation – is impressive. The sanctions less so. It is a legitimate debate: should a club be punished for offences under a previous owner? Yes, most fans of other clubs would scream. It's a deterrent. And the value of those players' contribution and subsequent sales arguably still benefits the club.
PL also investigated “potential breaches of the Premier League’s Youth Development Rules, committed by a former senior employee, relating to the club’s registration of Academy players between 2019 and 2022”. Again, self-reported by the club, this time in 2025. Chelsea punished with £750,000 fine and immediate nine-month ban from registering academy players from PL and EFL clubs. #CFC

What’s everyone’s bets for the incredibly nuanced display of Geordie wit they have planned for their little display next week then?
‘WAV SEEN THINGS YOOL NIVA SEE!!!’ and an image of Europe or them winning the same amount of trophies we have in the last 53 years?
Something about an airport?
Something about a hot dog sausage in a burger bun?
A magpie stealing some blue pop and cheesy chips from a visibly shaken black cat?
Or will they just have a massive Saudi flag with the names of everyone who signed the petition begging the government to push the takeover through transposed into it? #SAFC

I'm sorry but Chelsea make themselves look absurd with this kind of behaviour. Someone needs to get hold of these players. Their level of entitlement is off the scale.

We started preparations way earlier to decorate your stadium after a very kind invite from your club. 👀
Plus, we have a few days off this week as we’re off to Barcelona via the airport you all so generously fund.

We aren’t important . . . Loads bigger games . . . They’ll take 6 easy points . . . But then they start their derby display 8 (EIGHT) days before the game . . . MASSIVE GARGANTUAN FOOTBALLING institution coming to town. #SAFC
