More likely £750k ish fineIf true the punishment has to be double or triple relegation. Simple as that. Or there literally is no point.
All a waste of time.

2,000 lawyers working on it as we speak.prob not. But one day something like the authorities getting a backbone will have to happen…
What’s happening with all the Man City rule breaks on that note?
£900 million in a year is probably correct though.Sky reporting Lavia deal agreed at 58m …..Chelsea look set to sign there 900th player in a year….ok I exaggerate….slightly
Oh dear god....please let it happen.....then the rest of us pawns, in a game we can never win and will never be allowed to win, can start enjoying our domestic football again and let the greed and corruption tear itself to pieces away from these shores.I think it’s within FFP because they are loading all liabilities into the future. Dangerous game to play.
I reckon Todd cares little for the Premier League and is just waiting for the European Super League to come along, which will be financed by the Saudis and feature all the original crooks plus clubs from Saudi Arabia and one from Qatar (after all, they didn’t host that World Cup for nothing did they?)
Its stopping rivals getting players.Sky reporting Lavia deal agreed at 58m …..Chelsea look set to sign there 900th player in a year….ok I exaggerate….slightly
Jordan's back of a fag packet amortisation for Todd's regime has them at about £135m per year for the next 7-8 years.Simon Jordan spoke about this the other day. He reckons they’re just about okay at the moment as they are off-loading players as well. Whilst purchases are amortized over the duration of the contract sales are more a big lump e.g. buy 5 players for 1m each on 5 year contracts that’s 1m per year in the accounts. Sell a player for 1m and you’re breaking even.
This makes sense to me although I have not looked at the exact figures in the Chelsea case. That said, they do now seem to be a hostage to fortune.
Agree, as I say they’re a hostage to fortune. CL will also be tougher with Newcastle in the mix. f*** ‘Em.Jordan's back of a fag packet amortisation for Todd's regime has them at about £135m per year for the next 7-8 years.
The wage bill must be at least a further £175m, probably more
On top of this there may be existing amortisation costs for some of the players still on their books, from the previous regime.
Chelsea's income was about £400m when they were in the UCL.
I assume that will come down to £300m next season.
They'll be ok this season because they've made £200m profit on sales.
Failing to make UCL this season is not an option for them.
Hence why they are buying up all the talent and blocking Liverpool's main targets.
Well quite.Agree, as I say they’re a hostage to fortune. CL will also be tougher with Newcastle in the mix. f*** ‘Em.

Let's hope they crash and burn. Let Chelsea become an example of what not to do rather than an example of greed and entitlement rewarded.Agree, as I say they’re a hostage to fortune. CL will also be tougher with Newcastle in the mix. f*** ‘Em.
The issue with that idea for the most successful clubs is that it makes it more difficult for existing elites to be challenged. Chelsea and Man City are effectively ignoring FFP because otherwise they would not have been able to challenge Man Utd, Liverpool, Arsenal, RM who have spent decades outspending everyone else. I honestly don’t think there is an answer to this within existing structures. Blame Jimmy Hill and everyone who came after him. There will never be a level playing field unless tv money is distributed equally throughout the game rather than just to the most successful which just embeds the status quo and encourages the wrong kind of owners.As ever the fair and reasonable answer is obvious and will never happen.
There should be a UEFA wide salary cap adjusted to your country’s coefficient and based on the median audited revenue of the top division of said country.
Too many vested interests and people shitting themselves over Saudi though.

I think opinion within football has hardened against these clubs and a lot of people would now be happy to see them go. This opinion will lead the reporting rather than the other way around. It has to be a full departure from English football though.I can picture it now. Though the next time round I think they'll have got enough influential people on board to drastically change how it's reported in the media.
Were that to happen, no club from outside the group should ever play any club in it. So we get the PL, La Liga, etc etc, without a few soulless teams. We'll continue with our existing competitions, including things like the CL, and those clubs won't be involved.I think it’s within FFP because they are loading all liabilities into the future.

Obviously. Clubs breaking the rules should be banned for like 5 years. As well as any punishment the PL can also apply.And for people who have money, what is an appropriate penalty - it's unlikely to be financial so would need to be points deduction or barring from European competition
