Clubs: Chelsea and Aston Villa Chelsea and Aston Villa are the sides alleged by UEFA to have broken financial rules.
The nature of the breach: Both clubs have been handed punishments for breaches “of its financial rules”, in this case, the Financial Fair Play rules of UEFA, the ones introduced to save the financial health and future of European football.
Chelsea’s Fine Structure:
On-the-Spot Fine: Chelsea has been fined “approximately 27 million pounds” on the spot.
Caveat emptor: “A further 54 million is suspended and will only be payable if the clubs do not commit any further breaches of the UEFA Club Licensing and Financial Fair Play regulations in the next three seasons (2021/22, 2022/23 and 2023/24). It’s an emergency, and we’re going to have to be a lot more disciplined fiscally, in the future.
Aston Villa’s Fine Structure:
Aston Villa Docked: Aston Villa were docked N9. 5million immediately.
Conditional Fine: Aston Villa and Chelsea also, like the Blues, have a “further 13 million conditional” on good future financial controls.
Compensation Agreed: And perhaps most importantly of all… “The settlements, receive and settlements and payments have both been agreed by both clubs.” It’s a condition. The rest of the letter is simply a fluff piece The sensation is much greater now; they can’t start from scratch after what they have discovered and work out with UEFA., a long way from being just a fluffy subject, not a subject, sorry.
Premier League Rules The details of Snokes’ trade weren’t limited to that, also explaining: “These are on top of any Premier League financial rules. That’s because the UEFA fines are a de novo thing, no prejudice can be assumed in respect of any actual or assumed investigation and punishment that will be made at a domestic league level under its Financial rulebook (PSR, or what have you).. That would create a window of opportunity for the two clubs who have not yet faced forensic analysis and punishment in domestic competitions.

“right then, breaking news for Chelsea this morning who’ve been hit with a fine of just over 27 million pounds (27m) for breaking its financial rules – and they might get hit with a 54 million pound (54m) fine if the Blues don’t watch the pennies over the next few seasons.”
Aston Villa FORCED TO PAY 9.5m for same infractions as another 13million is suspended
hehe ok well the two clubs r ok with settlements
“and they break every financial fair play rule in the book”.
- Implications
The punishments do, however, once again highlight Uefa’s resolve – as it vowed when it introduced the monitoring system for financial fair play – for clubs to play fair. The use of significant contingent sanctions suggests a will to punish not only past position but also the future behaviour of the finances. That the fit has not been immediate with Premier League rules is an example of the financial squeeze going on for these clubs – and for Chelsea, particularly – that may, sure enough, have more domestic rule-breaking to come.
