The Star
|September 12, 2025
CHELSEA were charged by the Football Association yesterday with 74 alleged breaches of rules related to payments to agents between 2009 and 2022.
-
The FA said the charges primarily relate to the period between the 2010/11 and 2015/16 seasons. The Premier League club has until September 19 to respond.
Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich transformed Chelsea's fortunes after buying the west London club in 2003. He sold the Blues in May 2022 to a consortium led by American investor Todd Boehly and private equity firm Clearlake Capital.
Chelsea issued a statement saying the club were "pleased to confirm that its engagement with the FA concerning matters that were self-reported by the club is now reaching a conclusion".
"The club's ownership group completed its purchase of the club on May 30, 2022," the statement said.
"During a thorough due diligence process prior to completion of the purchase, the ownership group became aware of potentially incomplete financial reporting concerning historical transactions and other potential breaches of FA rules.
