Chelsea have been fined £10million ($13.4m) and given a suspended transfer ban following an investigation into 74 alleged breaches of the English Football Association’s regulations. The west London side were also initially hit with a suspended six-point deduction by an independent regulatory commission, which handed out the punishments, before this was overturned on appeal.

Chelsea avoided a 15-point deduction over payments to unregistered agents that would have relegated them from the Premier League because they reported themselves and cooperated with the investigation. The Blues finished 13 points ahead of 18th-place West Ham. @MailSport


🚨 FA statement on Chelsea. "A financial sanction of £10 million and a suspended two-window registration ban have been imposed on Chelsea FC for breaches of The Football Association [The FA] Football Agent Regulations, Regulations on Working with Intermediaries and Third Party Investment in Players Regulations. "The FA charged Chelsea FC with 74 breaches of FA Rule E1.2 after its current ownership self-reported misconduct upon its purchase of the club. The FA is continuing to investigate individual misconduct arising out of this case. "Chelsea FC admitted to the 74 breaches of FA Rule E1.2 prior to a hearing and an independent Regulatory Commission imposed a six-point deduction, which was to be suspended until 30 June 2027, and a £10 million fine. "The club appealed against the suspended points deduction and an independent Appeal Board allowed the appeal and set aside this sanction following a further hearing. In its place, the Appeal Board imposed a registration ban for two complete and consecutive transfer windows which is suspended until 30 June 2027. "The £10 million fine imposed by the Regulatory Commission was not subject to appeal and the full amount will be invested into grassroots football."




It's interesting Everton's financial breach saw the Premier League suggest a 12 point deduction. A panel ruled the sanction at -10 before an appeal said -6 74 charges for Chelsea saw the suggested sanction of -15, greater than Everton's, but it was then worked down to 0 points

🚨#Chelsea Nottingham Forest have revived their interest in Liam Delap, also pursued last summer. 📌 Chelsea plan to sell two strikers; Delap is among those available. 👀 Brighton and Leeds United held talks with his agents. 🔵 Everton lead the race, offering regular first‑team football.


🚨🟡🔴 AS Roma have sent official bid to Feyenoord for Dutch right back Givairo Read. Proposal worth €25m, negotiations ongoing between the clubs. Nottingham Forest had two bids rejected + still keen on the player.
