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." |

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.
