If there aren’t sanctions imposed and a points deduction impending, for a £262million loss, we may as all give up. There is absolutely not a chance a figure of that nature can be PSR compliant. Chelsea also had a £155m loss in 2023.

What a day! It started with the official opening of the new Graham Foxall stand, by his son Lee and Daughter Rebecca. It ended with a 2-1 win and another three points closer to the safety line....... we're not there yet, but the chances is ours........

It's the largest fine ever issued by the Premier League, would have been a full two-window transfer ban had Chelsea not self-reported the discrepancies under new ownership. FA investigation ongoing. Transfers involving Hazard, David Luiz, Andre Schurrle, Ramires, Matic, Willian, Eto'o all named

This is the punishment for 36 undisclosed payments worth £47.5m over 11 years relating to player transfers. Reminder: the Premier League wanted Everton deducted 12 points for a £19.5m FFP overspend and didn’t think a fine was a suitable punishment

When will the authorities ever learn that fines rarely have any meaningful impact in an industry awash with money at the top?

Mikel Obi had the guts to say Arsenal are cheating their way to the league. He has embarrassed himself big time

Went on a bit of a rant on telly comparing how Chelsea & Sheffield Wednesday have been dealt with

Everton overspent by £19.5m on a stadium and were docked 10 points. Chelsea made illegal payments to help sign players and got a fine. The Premier League is the most corrupt organisation you will ever come across. Total disgrace.

🚨🔵 Chelsea have been handed a £10.7m fine for breaching Premier League rules related to financial reporting, third-party investment and youth development during the Roman Abramovich era. The club have also received an immediate 9-month academy transfer ban, plus a 1-year first-team transfer ban (suspended for two years).

Interesting that in the Everton points deduction verdict the Premier League said “A financial penalty for a club that enjoys the support of a wealthy owner is not a sufficient penalty” and that “the requirements of deterrence, vindication of compliant clubs, and the protection of the integrity of the sport demand a sporting sanction in the form of a points deduction’. Presumably the Chelsea fine (which ultimately is just a deduction from what billion dollar Clearlake will pay to billionaire Abramovich from the £150m held back at the deal date) is then neither punishment, a deterrent or protecting the integrity of the sport? If I was an Everton or Forest fan would not be happy with this outcome.
