URGENT: Chelsea Hit with 74 Football Association Charges Over Agent Payments

Breaking News: Chelsea Hit with 74 Football Association Charges Over Agent Payments Chelsea FC has been charged by the Football Association with 74 alleged rule breaches related to payments to agents between 2009 and 2022. The charges focus on events from the 2010-11 to 2015-16 seasons. The club faces a range of potential sanctions, including fines, transfer embargoes, and points deductions. However, Chelsea's level of co-operation will be taken into account when determining penalties. Roman Abramovich owned Chelsea from 2003 to 2022 before selling the club to an American-led consortium in May. The new owners claim they were aware of potential issues during due diligence. Chelsea has until September 19 to respond to the charges. The FA will then consider the evidence and decide on a course of action.
