Overview
- The Premier League fined Chelsea £10.75 million and issued a suspended transfer embargo plus an academy registration ban for historic undisclosed third-party payments from 2011 to 2018.
- Chelsea's current owners self-reported issues from the Roman Abramovich era, and the league concluded the conduct would not have triggered PSR breaches.
- Everton received sporting penalties in 2023-24 for PSR breaches, with an initial 10-point deduction reduced to six on appeal and a subsequent two-point deduction.
- David Moyes said supporters deserve the league’s full reasoning and asked, “What would you rather have, a £10m fine or a 10-point deduction?”
- The question carries competitive weight with Everton eighth on 43 points, five behind Chelsea, and home fans booed Chelsea’s pre-match huddle before their meeting at Hill Dickinson Stadium.
