Chelsea Thread - 2023/24

I guess we'll both see how things pan out.

This thread is about your club.

Now, do you know what an asterisk looks like?

It was uncovered during the sales process and they reported it to UEFA. That’s due diligence. We also don’t know what the specific breaches are. But yeah let the PL do their investigation. Pretty sure Chelsea are actually cooperating since it was self-reported to begin with, so I hope we get a swift conclusion.

Yep they have admitted it all so Abramovitch was cheating ever since the premier ffp and while pointing fingers at us with the rest of them!

Don't know how long Boehley new about it or how soon he admitted it and told the Premier! Think the near billion spend since his has been there really is because he probably think a transfer ban is coming!

In one way it is the previous owners corrupt cheating and nothing to do with Boehley and his backers, it will just depend when he new about it and then thought fcuk it let's spend spend spend and take the consequences..

Thats ffp for you an utter disgrace from the powers that be to bring this in and makes owners find a way to get around it, when in fact the owner had the money to do what the fcuk he wanted..

Ahh right, probably explains the unprecedented spending & age range of said transfers. You’ll probably be ok but We’ll probably get a bigger fine for non cooperation

Yeah, it's the short dude in the front.

I’m not sure if fessing up and blaming it on the previous owner will lead to a much lighter punishment. These are potentially very serious offences - the kind of which our own club has flat out denied - yet Chelsea are admitting they’re guilty by the looks of things. @projectriver explains it far better than I can:

But the thing is we don’t know what the actual breaches were. If the PL produces a report based on their investigation that details the specific breaches then we have that discussion but until then we have no idea what the breaches were or how many breaches there were. It was clearly enough for the new ownership to notice it and report it and for UEFA to impose a fine. Let’s see what the PL say. This isn’t something Chelsea are being uncooperative about, in fact the PL are only investigating this because Chelsea highlighted it for them.

Cheating cunts

I’m not saying the new owners should’ve unearthed every skeleton in Romans cupboard, but given the government where involved you’d expect proper due diligence, if these misdemeanours where found during or just after the sales process, then the new owners haven’t exactly covered themselves in glory spending a billion

saudis just wanted to own them sorry Ted used own money ha

I thought it was customary for the PL to announce the number of charges at this point, so that officials and supporters of all other clubs can hold it over them. I've not seen the announcement yet.

Also, this stuff about these breaches coming to light during Boehly's discovery process is a convenient front to hide behind. Are they saying nobody at the club knew anything about these actions except for Abramovich? Loads of Chelsea staff must have been complicit in this cheating and the subsequent cover up.

I don't think any of the executive staff who might conceivably have been aware of such things are at the club any more.
