Lawyer calls for consistency after Chelsea sanction
Nottingham Post
|March 19, 2026
A LACK of consistency in how rule breaches are sanctioned risks undermining the integrity of football, a top sports lawyer has said.
-
Chelsea escaped a points deduction this week after admitting to breaching Premier League rules in relation to £47.5m of undisclosed payments made under former owner Roman Abramovich.
Points penalties had previously been imposed on Nottingham Forest, Everton and Leicester City for breaches of financial rules but Chelsea were fined £10.75m and given a suspended one-year transfer ban as part of a sanction agreement with the Premier League.
The Premier League said the sanctions reflected the fact that Chelsea's new owners had self-reported the information which sparked its investigation and showed “exceptional cooperation” throughout.
Nick De Marco KC, who represented Forest and Leicester in their legal cases, did not comment directly on the Chelsea sanction but said it was vital a consistent approach was adopted by the football authorities.
