UEFA Slaps Unexpected Fines on Chelsea and Aston Villa: What Does This Mean for English Football?
Importantly, UEFA clarified that the fines imposed as part of these agreements will not be counted as part of the clubs’ financial losses in future UEFA assessments, allowing clubs to better manage their financial planning and stay within permissible loss limits.
In response to the ruling, Chelsea issued a public statement acknowledging the breach and confirming their cooperation with UEFA throughout the process. The club said it had submitted a full and transparent financial report for the 2022/23 and 2023/24 fiscal years. They accepted the penalties for exceeding the squad cost ratio, which UEFA said was between 80 and 90 percent during the 2024 reporting year.
