Chelsea is in a difficult situation because they are taking a more severe deduction of points than Everton and Forest.
Chelsea faces a dire predicament as they could incur a heavier points deduction compared to Everton and Nottingham Forest due to potential violations of Premier League financial regulations.
Since Todd Boehly’s involvement in 2022, Chelsea has invested over £1 billion in new players, breaching the league’s £105 million loss limit over three years. Everton received a six-point deduction, while Forest dropped four points, landing them in the relegation zone.
Although Chelsea has sold players and faces no immediate charges, they risk missing out on European qualification for a second consecutive year, impacting their finances, especially with Boehly eyeing a top-tier striker signing. Financial analyst Stefan Borson suggests Chelsea’s projected losses could surpass those of Everton and Forest.
There’s speculation surrounding Mason Mount’s transfer timing and the club’s financial situation. Borson highlights the necessity of completing player transactions by June 30, a challenge acknowledged by the Premier League. Without significant player sales, Chelsea could face similar consequences to Everton and Forest in the near future.
