Chelski hit with 74 charges by the PL..............

Why has it taken this long to charge them with offences going all the way back to as early as 2010?

Chelski have issued a statement in reply, saying: "Chelsea FC is pleased to confirm that its engagement with The FA concerning matters that were self-reported by the club is now reaching a conclusion," reports Football London.

"The club's ownership group completed its purchase of the club on 30 May 2022. During a thorough due diligence process prior to completion of the purchase, the ownership group became aware of potentially incomplete financial reporting concerning historical transactions and other potential breaches of FA rules.

"Immediately upon the completion of the purchase, the club self-reported these matters to all relevant regulators, including The FA.

"The club has demonstrated unprecedented transparency during this process, including by giving comprehensive access to the club's files and historical data. We will continue working collaboratively with The FA to conclude this matter as swiftly as possible.

"We wish to place on record our gratitude to The FA for their engagement with the club on this complex case, the focus of which has been on matters that took place over a decade ago."

If this carries on Rotherham could be declared 2015 Premier League winners

It doesn’t seem a very long time to respond given the seriousness of the charges.

Crisp77.

I nearly had a bet on Arsenal winning the title two years ago!

Of course the cheats got away with it!

How unlike the Abu Dhabi mob.

Slap on the wrists for the top clubs.

30 points they gave Luton Town should be a bench mark and that was for peanuts compared to this.

They'll do what City have done and drag it out as long as possible with the best in class legal team.

Yes....if you adhere to the rule of thumb that states that the bigger the club you are the lesser the penalty you will receive you won't go far wrong.

Chelsea self-reported these transgressions which were perpetrated by the previous owners, so they are unlikely to be heavily punished.

Yes.  Good move on their part.

Well let’s hope their accountant’s have made a provision for bad debt!

Roman Abramovich give the ciub  a gift of 2.5 billion when he left and it is still sitting in some bank.

Are they investigating more recent events? Like selling a Hotel to themselves for £70m,and worse, selling their womens team to themselves for £200M? Slimy Chavs will worm there way ouy of amything.

. Don’t they all.

if you enough money you can open any door,

i missed a /have

It’s alright - we worked it out.
