"I definitely see my future at Arsenal" Kai Havertz dismissed rumours that linked him with a move away this summer 🔴

The settlement agreement applied incredibly lenient sanctions on the basis that Chelsea did not gain a sporting advantage and that the new owners self-reported the matter and fully complied with the investigation. I have written a thread previously that explains why these reasons are flawed and why Chelsea should have received much heavier sanctions (linked in the last post in this thread). However, the settlement now sets a precedent that, although not necessarily binding, will undoubtedly influence future disciplinary panels, including the one judging Man City’s 115/130 charges. The most powerful benefit to Man City from the Chelsea settlement is it sets a precedent for how a panel might view the seriousness of subversion through deception. The PL Board’s logic for its weak sanctions against Chelsea was that they could have simply moved the payments “on-book” and in doing so, not breached PSR. Therefore, in their minds, no sporting impact was achieved and serious sanctions should not apply. This logic implies that subversion of the rules (undertaking hidden actions that breach the rules and undermine the PL’s authority) is not in itself a serious violation worthy of heavy sanction - not unless it accompanies sporting impact. That means if Man City can lessen the severity of any PSR breach determined by the Panel, then they can leverage that precedent to weaken the sanctions applied…
