Chelsea Thread - 2023/24

[Jam Tomorrow]

Obviously you guys are all comparing this issue to your own ongoing one.

One big difference between us is that our new owners noticed incomplete financial information in historic accounts and reported it immediately to UEFA.

City's stance is, as I understand it, that they've done nothing wrong whatsoever.

Maybe admittance or denial of guilt has a bearing on how a club is treated, just as it does in the English legal system where admittance of guilt generally encourages a more lenient sentence?

Or maybe your guys have gone for the scousers double bluff, it was all the fault of the previous owners go easy on us for anything else you may find, guess we will see if your spending since the yank/Saudi’s came in is looked at. btw most City fans don’t have an axe to grind with Chelsea, you saved us from endless years of rag domination.

Its all banter between opposing fans this ffp but since ffp through the leagues there have been more clubs in big trouble, points deducting fines that make these clubs have more problems and more likely to go bust! Ffp is an utter disgrace brought in by jealous insecure clubs..

Always standing together with City vs all red infidel

I don't think we're bluffing. The matter is fully resolved in UEFA's eyes now.

In a statement, Uefa said: "Following the club’s sale in May 2022, the new ownership identified, and proactively reported to Uefa, instances of potentially incomplete financial reporting under the club’s previous
ownership.

The reported matters related to transactions which took
place between 2012 and 2019.

While the precise nature of the infractions is not clear, it is
understood that a number of relatively minor historical elements emerged
during the sale process.

While there is believed to have been no deliberate attempts to circumvent the rules, the breaches were discovered."

Or perhaps those in control of the PL are totally and unduly influenced by certain clubs, remebering that Masters was interviewed by the rags and dippers bosses, who have seen their successes affected, and don't like it, and therefore are desperately trying to smear City's reputation and slow down or even block their success ?

Something you might understand considering your previous owner and his running of the club, and the jeaslousy which ensued from the " entitled redshirt cunts ".

Just a thought .

Who knows. Conspiracy is a popular theme on these boards. Maybe you're right.

For me I prefer to at least start with the less dramatic explanation, and work from there.

Cheating again I see. Not sure we want to be grouped in with this lot.

The league is corrupt to the core and Chelsea seem to be front and centre but manage to dodge criticism and blame the Russia gangster. No different from the red tops.

If it’s not dodgy loans it is not declaring accurate accounts. Scourge on our game.

I see it's being reported as much as United's failing of FFP

That's fair enough, but then again you aren't facing 115 charges from an organisation that benefits greatly by the success of the accused.

Noted!

It's interesting to me to consider that by hammering City the Prem are apparently hurting themselves.

However, when you also consider the arrogance and hubris of organisations like the Prem, I suspect that City's worth, so obvious to the ordinary man, is invisible to them. I believe they think they made you, and they can make another king!!

The reality is that City are a superbly run club with a singular vision for success from top to bottom. Who gives a shit if they did or didn't misreport a few mil of sponsorship? I don't.

It's all about power, and who holds it over who.
