🚨 The cost of the deal to bring Vinicius Junior to Arsenal would be one of the most expensive, if not the most expensive in British football history in terms of a fee & wages. Internally, Arsenal believe they have the financial means to complete the transfer & are also confident the player would join. 💰🇧🇷 [@SamiMokbel_BBC]
BREAKING: Chelsea have been handed a £10m fine by the FA and a suspended two-window transfer ban🚨
It relates to secret payments to agents when Roman Abramovich was owner.
🚨 MAJOR BREAKING! 💣
A financial sanction of £10m and a suspended two-window registration ban have been imposed on Chelsea FC for breaches of The FA’s Football Agent Regulations, Regulations on Working with Intermediaries and Third Party Investment in Players Regulations. 🔵
The FA charged Chelsea FC with 74 breaches of FA Rule E1.2 after its current ownership self-reported misconduct upon its purchase of the club. The FA is continuing to investigate individual misconduct arising out of this case.
Chelsea FC admitted to the 74 breaches of FA Rule E1.2 prior to a hearing and an independent Regulatory Commission imposed a six-point deduction, which was to be suspended until 30 June 2027, and a £10m fine.
The club appealed against the suspended points deduction and an independent Appeal Board allowed the appeal and set aside this sanction following a further hearing. In its place, the Appeal Board imposed a registration ban for two complete and consecutive transfer windows which is suspended until 30 June 2027.
The £10m fine imposed by the Regulatory Commission was not subject to appeal and the full amount will be invested into grassroots football.
