Do we get another Champions League trophy :)

 

[lonestay]

I would like to think we have a lot of shit on a lot of premier clubs, and ex premier league clubs, and every so often we have to let some of it go as we aquire more and more. This week the Chelski file escaped !!!

 

[Ric]

These are pretty serious allegations. It'll be interesting to see what punishment they receive if proven, as this is probably up there with the charges we face.

 

[Indaparkside]

Oh they are in deep shit!

I think they'll admit it and wait for the punishment?! Get all the shit done this season, then start a fresh next season with plans going forward with a new stadium in the pipeline!!

Chelsea FC face new questions over how Roman Abramovich funded success
Leaked files reveal secret payments that may have breached football’s strict ‘financial fair play’ rules

Chelsea FC face fresh questions over how its former owner Roman Abramovich funded the club’s success, after leaked files revealed a string of secret payments that may have breached strict football rules, including those on “financial fair play”.

Experts said the transactions, uncovered through a joint investigation by the Guardian and international partners, could lead to the Premier League imposing punishments on Chelsea, such as a deduction of points.

I bet they don’t investigate the rags, or dippers
the cunts

 

[waspish]

Can't see them admitting these or they'll be in deep shit!

They will do what we have done. Deny them vigorously and take them through whatever process is in place to fight them.

We shouldn’t all jump on the ‘Chelsea are fucked’ bandwagon as that’s literally what everyone else has done with the 115 charges. Chelsea are just another threat to united and liverpool and the media will milk it just like us.

Chelsea get a relatively free pass by our LONDON shills, nothing proven against MCFC but our story is recycled by every news outlet possible. I am sure Khaldoon is observing with interest, might even be involved.

They look significantly worse than our charges if I’m reading correctly

Crack open the typewriter City we need a letter doing.

Panic on the streets of London

Agreed. But even if proven it'll be the supporters I shall feel for. Because it is us supporters who always suffer. We pay the money to watch what goes on on the pitch, not in the boardroom: that particular side of things is beyond us - and probably of no real interest to the majority of fans anyway.

If the club are found guilty there will be seismic changes ahead for the sport, that much is a certainty.

 

[Semper aggressus]

Obviously they’ll get off lightly. At worst a suspended fine or one window transfer ban. Their lawyers will argue that at the time there were no sanctions so the money was then legit, or that Abramovich only used his own not the dodgy Putin-funds.

Somehow they’ll get out of any punishment that would actually hurt like huge points deduction, relegation or removal of trophies. Too many other powerful figures in football have skeletons in the closet which could come out if Chelsea or any other big club (including us) want to take them down with them so nothing will happen beyond a metaphorical slapped wrist at best.

I thought we were OK at the back. We conceded a meh penalty and a deflection. I don't feel City created too much outside of the other two goals (Haaland's 2nd and Akanji's free header) except that one Haaland chance that Sanchez saved. It's City, you're bound to create good chances, no-one can really stop you doing that but I thought we contained you well enough for the majority of the game. We weren't spared a hammering at all.

I rest my case. Terrible at the back and struggle to score goals if they aren't gifted.

 

[waspish]

8 goals in two games conceded! Seems poch can't shut up shop

Normal service resumed.

Played the champions last week, reverted back to type this week.
Wankers.

 

[Inter Me Nan]

Must be hungover from the title celebrations after nicking a point against us!
