Cue Chelsea sueing the FA over something and them folding like a deckchair.

They self reported and got £100m off the asking price for chelsea when they bought them. The money has allegedly been put aside for any possible fines resulting from this.
They are not fighting it.

Also, where the fudge is Romans money from the sale, I thought it was being ringfenced or he was giving it to the victims of the war.
Thought that was all a condition of the sale?

Well run club apparently, not the shower of brick we were under Levy…

The thing is with Chelsea, is that they're excellent at knowing how to push it in regards to certain rules and maximise the gains before that loophole gets closed.

Charges like this are accounted for and as we know, it won't impact the spending. A bit like the water companies I guess. I can't quote the exact figures but the sales from academy players and their army of acquisitions farmed out on loan are cash cows as well. It's one of few businesses where people are still treated like cattle and they play the field well.

It's typical for the English to sneer and crave failure for any American involvement in the sport but they appear to be doing well under the moneyball system. I've given up wanting their chickens coming home to roost, if you're naive enough to think they're the villains (not that brummie lot) that'll definitely get what's coming to them fair enough; like the jehovah's witnesses moving the goalposts on the apocalypse, I'll believe it when I see it. I'm sure any Chelsea fan would be hurt to read that a bloke on a Spurs forum thinks they were badly ran, whilst they look fondly over their trophies, reminiscing over the top players they've had, and a squad full of talent now.

I still despise them, alongside United and Oasis, but it doesn't change much and you've got to admire the model of selling players for more than you paid, what are recent examples of us doing that?

The Europa league win will always mean more than their success, but I would say that as a long suffering Spurs fan wouldn't I, we like to harp on about doing things the right way, whatever that means.
 
New owners or self reporting should be irrelevant - it was the club that gained sporting advantage from cheating, therefore the club should face sporting consequences if found guilty.

What punishment is a fine compared to the billions of income from previous and current sporting success on the basis of historical cheating?

Great post but I still despise that club with every fibre in my body. and every season I hope they crash and burn. I probably celebrated Brentford’s last minute equaliser as much as any Brentford fan…
