Well that’s a bit vague, isn’t it. Doesnt provided any convincing information just that the previous club owner may have done something sketchy with the club’s profits. Some sources revealed Chelsea’s profits directly go to Putin’s pockets. How do this breach financial fair play? We ain’t doping the transfer market with state fund money. It’s just roman’s own business what he does with the profits how does that lead to point deduction after this whole fiasco
What’s new? Every couple of months “new” information comes out about some financial transaction that some club made. Football is a cesspool of secret money transfers and underhanded dealings.
Call me when something concrete comes out or when a club is actually punished.
I’m not even sure these files were actually “leaked”. Chelsea have been reviewing the books and submitting opaque transactions as possible FFP violations to the PL since the new owners took over. Are these violations different from the ones that were self-reported?
What new questions? Must be a slow news day at the Guardian
They can borrow our trophy cabinet if the league ever does anything about all those plastic trophies they won. It’s spotless just like theirs was before Daddy Russia.
It was nice while it lasted.
NOW they ask questions… not in 2004 but 2023 when the twat is gone… fucking media man asking the right questions at the wrong time just a casual 20 years too late…
Right.
It’s a bit late for that
Is this any different than City taking ‘revenue’ from shell companies owned by their club’s owner? If nothing will be done to City for money laundering and stuff like that I doubt anything comes of this.
And despite all of this, the Premier League will keep opening its legs to any shitty human with a lot of money.
Do you know what money laundering is?
I want them to get the Juventus Calciopoli special but we all know they’ll go ‘new owners mate, nothing to do with us’ and the EPL will happily forget about it.
The FA and UEFA: Oh No! Anyway…
cool looking forward to city being docked points in 2040
Why is it that teams like Chelsea and City can manage to do this in the first place, and then there’s no reprocussion discussions until a decade later?
The FA, Premier League, FIFA - whoever, need to start being more proactive with laws instead of reacting to teams taking the piss.
Something something 115
oh fuck off. If Chelsea spent $10bil and failed nobody would care. Why the fuck clubs with little success can’t become successful? Who cares where’s the money come from? $1 biil to football is far far better than $1 bil to guns/rpg/killing children.
