PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

You can see it now, they are waiting for the end of the season to hear the charges so we can start next season on minus 50 points. Then spending it appealing.

Chelsea have three issues to contend with and the one you reference is indeed for next season but the other two are potentially far more serious:

The new owners have reported potential issues with previous years accounts. Although they are from the Abramovich era it will be the club that receive any punishment. You'd assume there could be some mitigation though.

The Guardian have an ongoing investigation into disguised owner investment by Abramovich involving millions going to club employees, players and agents. Essentially a mirror of what we've been charged with

Finally, it is almost certain that they will fail PSR for 2023-24 by a huge margin. They need to raise way over 100 mill net profit on player sales by June 30th this year.

A certain player has been told not to stand in the way of any potential large bids at the end of this season as it will help with their PSR efforts.

Their most valuable player is probably Palmer at present? And I can't see him fetching £100m

It won’t be Palmer as his book value is £32m, so the profit in £100m would only be £68m.

Itll be Gallagher or James as their book value is £0.

I believe that player has said to the club 'Fuck off, I'll decide which club I go to and when'

Fair enough, thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Thing is the buying clubs know Chelsea have to sell so there is no incentive to offer the market rate.

Plus any sales that count for 23-34 figures need to be completed by June 30th

It could be Palmer if someone offered stupid money, but with PSR, I can’t see them getting enough for any of their players before June 30th.

I think they are up the creek without a paddle then.
