Chelsea penalty for cheating : Minimal fine & suspended transfer ban

Probably an indication of what’s to come for Man City
£10.75m fine & no transfer ban or points deduction
Understand during the current Chelsea owners due diligence when buying from Abramovich they self reported that payments had been made off the books by Putins bag man to thwart FFP
After years they get a meaningless fine & a light tap on the wrist

it's like a league within a league, where a select group of teams are allowed to do what they want, spend what they want, have most officials in their pocket, and pay no meaningful penalty for breaking the rules.

They grassed themselves up, and it wasn't actually them, that would explain the cursory punishment. This won't be a reflection of what we can expect to happen (and what has happened) to genuine cheaters.
Regardless of new Owners grassing themselves up, it was still cheating under the name of the Football Club that deserved a points deduction/transfer ban. In the grand scheme of things considering how mega rich they are, this 'punishment' doesn't effect them like it should. They've set a precedent now.

Boehly could pay that fine from all the shrapnel down the back of his fucking sofa.

C(orrupt) FC get away with a tap on the hand for blatant cheating. Always got to look after the money grabbing wankers.

Ridiculous fine, cheaper to break the rules and pay the fine than to comply with FFP.
They must of gained an advantage 10 times the sum of £10m by signing those players and getting round FFP.
The latest evidence that the game is well and truly gone

One rule for Leicester and Everton, one rule for Chelsea and likely Man City

Looks like City will all get an expenses paid holidays to the Maldives.
