Plus points deduction, removal from all cup competitions, cancellation of previous cup and league wins, demolition of Stamford Bridge, removed from the pages of history!! https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/fo [Post edited 16 Mar 13:33]

| Chelsea fined £10.75m on 13:37 - Mar 16 with 8815 views | numptydumpty | So they paid £47 million to ensure they got several top players in, which without the illegal payments they wouldn't have got. And £10 million to Chelsea is like losing the sales from cheeseburgers for most clubs. ie completely irrelevant. Wonder, if behind the scenes certain administrators have been offered a few freebie Caribbean holidays or the like. JOKE OF A PUNISHMENT JOKE OF A RULING ADMINISTRATION EVEN THE PEOPLE HANDING OUT THE PUNISHMENTS ARE CORRUPT.... [Post edited 16 Mar 13:38]

I've been asking that question on here for what seems like forever. The fine (amount) for the cheats Is Immaterial and wont affect them at all, as for the ban It's meaningless. We had a great win on Saturday and It lifted my spirits but reading this so called punishment for the cheats Is depressing. Football punishment my arse. It's almost like the authorities are saying lets not upset them too much. |  |

| Chelsea fined £10.75m on 15:28 - Mar 16 with 8293 views | DWQPR | When you consider that we got double that for spending too much money without any cover up this is a joke. So they spent £47.5million on young players so how much have they made on moving any of these players on? The PL is a joke, the EFL is a joke, UEFA is a joke and FIFA is so bad it is not even worth joking about. I wonder how the FIFA Peace Prize award is sitting nicely on Trump’s desk? |  |

I think this is a Premier League fine. The F.A. have are still investigating according to the link, and have not reached a conclusion or issued any punishment as yet (I'm not sure if the F.A. are investigating themselves or if it an independent body / panel type thing). So hopefully the appropriate punishment will follow. [Post edited 16 Mar 15:57]

They’ve been financially doping for decades and bought all their success. A meaningless punishment for them although they’ll be slightly annoyed they can’t hoover up (steal) the world’s best young talent for their puppy loan farm for a ridiculously short 9 months. |  | |  |

Give your head a wobble. Of course appropriate punishment will NEVER follow. Corruption at the highest level. If the FA and the Premier League had anything about them they would manage these top teams" out of our game and into that European/ World Super League. We do not want them here and I suspect that the fans of the 72 League clubs feel the same. Utter 'kin disgrace, but NOTHING WILL CHANGE. C U N T S |  |

| Chelsea fined £10.75m on 17:32 - Mar 16 with 7919 views | Benny_the_Ball | Apparently the fine should have been £20m, but was reduced by 50% on account of Chelsea's "proactive self-reporting and co-operation with the process". Hang on. These were historical secret payments made between 2011 and 2018. How is self-reporting in 2022 proactive? In 2023 Chelsea were also fined £8.6m by UEFA for "submitting incomplete financial information" for the period between 2012 and 2019, so not an isolated case. One rule for one, another rule for another. [Post edited 16 Mar 17:34]

When they were caught wrapped up in similar, the authorities actively tried to put them out of business and effectively relegated them out of the EFL. Likewise I seem to recall Swindon Town were relegated the summer they got promoted for offences along these lines. As noted above, the Faulingate case (where I cannot imagine we were innocent and fair do's a punichment is needed) we got a big old fine of £875k for a single indiscretion plus maybe a transfer window ban... can't recall on that. That was third party ownuership and an unlicensed agent... not moody payments although...... This is why, IMHO, the sooner they and their ilk sod off to the European & Dubai Super League and fully pull the ladder up the better. Let's re-establish a playing field that's even a little bit leveller. W@nkers |  |
