Was hoping we'd get a 'listen Shauuun' but sadly was just a recap of what we already knew.

I had a feeling it might be - ah well.

I must say, a 2023 BBC interview with Lee Power. I would never click on something so fast if it happened.

Why would Power have any interest whatsoever in explaining this or in fact anything else. Who knows what his links before after or even existing are to Abramovich, the sort of money under consideration would be pocket change to RA anyway.

Presumably it was just another way for Chelsea to bypass FFP. If RA was doing the same thing with 30 teams it’s a £30/40m cash injection that looks (at first glance) above board. Wasn’t this at the time that Chelsea had dozens of young players out on loan?

The article does say other clubs, and Chelsea did loan a lot of players to clubs in Europe, so maybe we are the only one in the UK, or more likely the biggest name in the UK

Well, there's a precedent - Everton docked 10 points for historic financial irregularities (it must be said, on a much grander scale than anything we might have been involved in)

Chelsea get docked 10 points they’re still in the PL.
We get docked 10 points, hello National League.

There must be some more detail to this somewhere as the investigative reporter has detailed how much RA gave stfc, not sure if it was listed in this shady Jersey company accounts or how they actually found this out with the link to us ? depends if the football authorities purely want to take Chelsea apart of want everyone that RA done deals with

Would we accept a 30 points deduction if we were guaranteed premiership football within 15 years😁

There might not be, one of the problems with some investigative reporting is the journo's are so desperate to get the story out that they only do half a job, albeit in this case as it seems almost entirely to be based upon a leak, it will depend the extent of detail leaked or just headlines.
