We ( Chelsea) supporters were not just locked in when we played in Bordeaux we were ordered to sit down for over 30 minutes after the final whistle and the French Police enforced it ! One or two who stood up were hit with battons on their legs. They was limited toilets so when we were eventually...

From memory I seem to recall that the IC that dealt with Everton first charge included one member who had a financial background as opposed to law as it were. The head of the judiciary at the PL has the right to to appoint ad hoc members and I wouldn’t be at all surprised if only two of the...

Not wishing to split hairs but the charges don’t seem to include payments being made to players the payments were, it seems, they were to agents and intermediaries.

The timeline for all this is a lot shorter than the City PL matter. The deadline for Chelsea to respond to theFA charges was mid September so to get to a hearing in less than 3 months suggests that there have been little to no issues with discovery etc. The suggestion is that the IC will be...

Happy 6000

Not bad thanks

Sorry but nowhere did I say that it was either a UEFa rule or indeed a PL rule. My comment was simply that there is a requirement for PL clubs to publish details on their websites which as we see is indeed the case. You asked that I point you in the in the direction of the “ rule” which I did...

Saw this posted on one of of sites the other day Empty North Stand The North Stand at Chelsea's Stamford Bridge ground in London, remains almost deserted, during a match against Leeds United, 11th December 1971. The stand was closed following reports that it had 'shuddered' during a recent...

That stand was built just before WW2 and was an add on of the old East Stand. It was left standing when the East Stand was demolished in the late 70s but quickly came down once the “ new east stand” was completed That stand was in “ the away end” the shed being the opposite end not sure but...

I believe the increase in accuracy quoted isn’t quite what it appears. Going back circa 10 years ago PGMOL were claiming that in excess of 99% of decisions made were correct https://tomkinstimes.com/2018/03/how-accurate-are-referees-the-pr-v-the-research/ The recently claimed increase I...

Mancini said in 2023, that he hadn’t been approached. Has he commented since that statement? Have the Chelsea players or indeed beneficiaries of money paid via RAs companies been approached? I have no idea but I would imagine if they were most would play a straight bat even to the point of...

Think you are missing the point. At this time no one has ruled on the question or if you like allegations around Mancini contract/s. You point to the PL charges but they, the PL, don’t have jurisdiction to make the charges around third party payments etc nor would it make any sense whatsoever...

Think it’s far more complicated than that. Also here’s the full comment I made on that point “If for instance the PLs claim around say Mancini is proven then funding of his contract came from a 3rd party which as you say is the FAs area”
