This Wednesday, The Sun revealed that the two English clubs risk being administratively relegated if they are found guilty of the facts with which they are accused, that is to say of having violated the rules of financial fair play. It is also said that an independent commission to examine these cases is planned by next fall. Concerning the Blues, “financial embezzlement” was allegedly committed when Roman Abramovich, Russian oligarch, was still the owner of Chelsea. The Sky Blues have denied the 115 allegations made against them.
More than ever, the committee has taken action this season, Everton and Nottingham have already suffered points withdrawals. But as usual, the sanctions range from a simple warning to administrative relegation, which would be a real shock for these two Premier League giants. But according to the British media, if the facts are proven, the Mancunians and the Londoners would fall into the box of “major offenses”.
