FIFA have fined Chelsea and banned them from signing players for 2 transfer windows after breaching rules about signing minors. FA also fined 400K https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/47329293
Chelsea fans on the PL board were nonchalantly saying that "we'll pay the fine" and "we always get away with it" a few months ago.
Could be a blessing in disguise, might make them start to play some of the ridiculous young players they have.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Good. They should also not be allowed to hoover up young talent and waste their careers. Disgrace IMO.
This has been rumoured for a little while in some places, it's why they paid so much for Pulisic in January. So I guess they're not that confident of waving it away with a well timed appeal. But who knows.
They could do a Barca and appeal so they can spend this summer when they will probably have a new manager, buy loads and just sit on the squad for 2 windows after. Could be interesting though as they have a fair few players 30+ now so really could be a chance for some of the youth to come in.
