Coming from Fabrizio Romano this evening Chelsea Owner Todd Boehly has been removed as Chelsea CEO and his replacement has taken over the Club
According to estimates, Chelsea might lose more than 10 points in the upcoming season if they violate the Profit and Sustainability Rules of the Premier League.
The Blues have invested approximately £1 billion in new players since the end of May 2022, when a consortium led by Todd Boehly acquired the Premier League team.
Chelsea has to sell players for more than £100 million.
According to recent estimates, Chelsea will now have to raise more than £100 million by June 30 in order to avoid breaking the Premier League’s financial regulations.
“In my mind, there is certainly trouble on the horizon and they will certainly fail FFP for the current season unless – and it seems unlikely – that by June 30th they sell well over 100 million worth of players,” former Man City advisor Stefan Borson said recently on talkSPORT.
However, they only have a very little window of time to do that considering that the Euros are right after the season.
Conor Gallagher is scheduled to attend the European Championship starting on June 14th, therefore Chelsea needs to move quickly if they want to ship him before June 30th. Potential bidders will also be aware that Chelsea needs to sell players.
“Chelsea may be set up for a considerably larger breach than Everton, and most significantly, they will view it as intentional. They are unable to cover up behind a stadium and unintentionally violate FFP.
Expert in football finance Kieran Maguire has identified a “mitigating factor” that might work in Chelsea’s favour in the event that they lose points.
“If Chelsea is charged, the club will be punished; therefore, the change in ownership is irrelevant,” Maguire said to Football Insider.
In any other case, clubs might get away with acting irresponsibly by giving the team to someone else who would start from scratch. That might, however, be taken into account to lessen the penalty because they seem to have self-reported any possible violations.
Birmingham City demonstrated this when they found they had gone over budget. They did receive a reduction of the points deduction that was applied to them as a result, and Chelsea’s new owners may do the same.
Chelsea “are set to be deducted more than 10 points if they breach Profit and Sustainability Rules next season,” according to sources close to Football Insider.
Further details were provided by Pete O’Rourke, senior correspondent for the website, who stated on the Inside Track podcast: “It keeps changing, but I think it’s going to be more than 10 points if the breaches are more serious than Everton’s.”
“It seems pretty clear, and I believe that will be the case, but we’ll have to wait and see if Chelsea files an appeal.”
Romelu Lukaku need to be given another chance, according to Darren Bent
Giving Romelu Lukaku another opportunity in Mauricio Pochettino’s squad the next season, according to former Tottenham striker Darren Bent, may help Chelsea save millions of dollars in the summer.
“If you can get him back on a free, for me, it’s a no-brainer,” Bent stated to talkSPORT. He’s not at my football team, though. You do not need to purchase him; it is a free. Although it seems obvious to me, I understand.
“I understand that some Chelsea supporters are finding it difficult to go past the interview he gave and his disrespectful behaviour towards the team.
“I see that side of the debate, but if you’re looking to spend 80–90 million on a center-forward and one is there for free— and pay attention—he and Poch need to have this talk.
“It’s not the worst option in the world if they can somehow mend that connection and then save that £80, £90 million on a post they might need.”
