Chelsea’s Future on the Edge: Shocking 74 Charges Could Trigger Game-Changing Points Deduction
However, Chelsea are said to be expecting a fine rather than a points deduction, likely due to their proactive honesty in the situation, and would appeal any sporting sanction.
Abramovich and former sporting director Marina Granovskaia are no longer involved in football, so the FA’s only recourse if the charges are upheld is to punish the club.
In a statement in September, Chelsea said: “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.
“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.
