Chelsea likely to face point deduction punishment over PSR breach

Chelsea are likely to face point deduction punishment for breaking the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules.

The Blues have spent almost £1 billion in four transfer windows since Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital arrived in May 2022, with the first three transfer windows accounting for the majority of this expenditure.

Despite their financial capabilities in the transfer window, Chelsea have failed to make impact on the pitch with the team currently struggling under the guidance of Mauricio Pochettino.

Chelsea are now set to face a more difficult spell on the pitch.

The Blues reported a negative of £90.1m in the books, down on the £121.4m figure for 2021-22 but giving Chelsea a total of £211.5m.

According to Profit and Sustainability rules, Premier League clubs are not allowed to go over £105m across a three-season period.

Due to this, Chelsea are set for a massive clear out in the club. Planned for the end of May or early June, it is unclear which players will be sold.

According to Football Insider reports, Chelsea won’t be able to escape Premier League sanctions before 2024–2025.

While speaking on the Inside Track Podcast, senior journalist Pete O’Rourke thinks that Chelsea will almost certainly be punished and given a point deduction punishment.

Although no charges have been brought, the Blues have previously been the subject of investigation about financial concerns throughout Roman Abramovich’s reign.
