Simon Jordan INSISTS Chelsea Are in DANGER of a Points Deduction Amid New Questions Regarding FFP 👀

I wonder what's on the horizon O Danny for Chelsea because Chelsea could be in a bit a soapy bubble um lead files have revealed a host of secret payments that may have breached football rules this is uh including Financial fair play while Chelsea were under the ownership of Roman Abramovic now what do we know about these files the the elite files reveal payments worth tens of millions of pounds over a decade rooted through offshore Vehicles belonging to Abramovich beneficiaries of the payments offshore appear to include the agent of the star player Eden Hazard and Associate the title winning manager Antonio Conte and Chelsea Football Club officials other payments appear to have been connected to the purches of the players of Willian and Samuel etu um Simon what you're taking this it it would appear that chelsy could they be heading for a points deduction this is all proven possibly I mean these things would would have come out of probably the most uh forensically evaluated purchase of a football club since the conception of buying football clubs was ever put into play because you got a football club that was ordered to be sold by the government and subsequently the proceeds held by the government so these sort of things um have found the light of day some of it was priced into the thinking of Chelsea by making Provisions because Todd Bley himself declared them as areas of concern not because he's magnanimous and not because he's you the patron St of all good things in football because knew that there was enough scrutiny on this transaction and may have wanted to visit it on some of the cost implications of the buying the club in the first place well you're absolutely right I mean the Bing regime voluntarily reported that incomplete financial information had been submitted during abramovic's tenure yeah yeah I mean I don't know why people would be surprised by that I mean the regime of Roman Abramovich broke the mold of football didn't have a lot of economic sense behind it and was done for a certain reason whether that was because he wanted to give himself a world's most expensive life insurance policy or whatever the motivations that Roman Abramovic had they weren't necessarily based upon Financial well-being were they because if you look at the spend pattern against what Chelsea returned there's a billion and a half wor difference between what he bought it and what he and what he actually invested and what he got back or what he would have gotten back or or or or the scenario that we saw look the bottom line is is that they have to face the music now people will say is that not dissimilar to to Manchester City's current and consistent ownership so the answer is no it's not because there is a situation where toboy is inheriting the Deeds of a different party but does that mean that the consequences of the son won't be visited on the new father or the other way around you know what I mean yeah yeah I know what you mean and I know is that fair why should the bully regime be punished for something the Abramovic regime overlooked or oversaw tough luck tough luck you bought a business that business has a going concern mentality you didn't it wasn't repackaged bundled down to the bottom of of the pyramid like Rangers were and came back as a new entity with all the sins of the fathers before not visited on the new son so in this instance it's the nature of it's the price on the ticket but you wouldn't be seeing tough luck if you were part of the bully regime I would well well he knew about it well he knew about it so the point is and and and I would suspect that these are added these are added to what they know and they volunteered it which is not the same as what man city have done so if people going to make the comparison between what Manchester City are being accused of and what Chelsea are being accused of in the Bly regime he's volunteered the information but then you go back to the original um culprits in so far as they've been found guilty of anything right now then of course Chelsea have to have the same consequences I don't think it's 115 charges is it but not withstanding that they have to be judged by the same yard stick it's irrelevant the ownership was changed oh we was at the same conundrum the conundrum though at the end of these allegations whether it be City Chelsea Everton whoever else it is when you look at punishment it's always is going to be Financial because no no not now no not not I'm not saying someone someone they're going they're going to give somebody points and they're going to give then then it creates a problem for the product well that's just the nature of the Beast it depends of how much teeth you want to have if you want to have teeth to stop people from doing things you need to have proper consequences because if the consequences for financial mismanagement is some Financial consequences is almost laughable because the bottom line is is if you didn't care about the finances in the first place you're a't going to care about the fin so who who in your opinion would be the F who do you think is going to be the first one to take the brunt of a points deduction considering what you know already because that's going to be EV cuz that could change the whole dynamic of the relegation battle couldn't if if they're found guilty um if they're found guilty well they they they're they're guilty of losing 350 million quid no doubt about that it's whether they're allowed to make the adjustments that they've made and change the valuation of players because their valuation of players and the loss of Revenue sorry the loss of valuation is far greater than any other football club in the Premier League and it excuses transactions like paying people like Chen tosson you know £100,000 a week or 200,000 a week when he's not worth it those were bad business decisions that they made but at the bottom line is is I do think there'll be a point sanction I don't think it'll be 12 points but I wouldn't be surprised if Everton got a point sanction I wouldn't be surprised if Man City this going be a retrospective action and all these football clubs running up and down jumping up and down like lunatics suggesting that they they've got a case outside of the confines of the law don't talk rubbish outside confines of the industry because you're the ones that signed up to the rules the rules are if some breaches has a behavior which breaches the governance these are the consequences you signed up to it if you wanted different if you wanted if you want to be able to adjudicate something in six months change the rules everything happens in real time but they don't change the rules because one day they might fall out of than themselves if you're one of the beneficiaries of the offshore payments at Chelsea are you beginning to sweat a bit I wouldn't have thought so no no because it's Chelsea's responsibility as the employer to meet the tax obligations it's not yours the agent of Eden Hazard is not getting a bit nervous well hopefully they all K is not getting nervous some Chelsea officials are not getting nervous listen as I said to you as an employer it's the employer's liability responsibility to discharge tax liabilities not the employees so if if somebody pays me if I was an employee of a business and they pay me £100,000 and I receive £100,000 it's their job to discharge tax liability not mine they they weren't self-employed people Eden Hazard wasn't playing for Chelsea as a self-employed person he was a contracted employee yeah yeah is it the same heat around Chelsea as there has been for when it comes to alleged ffp breaches well we're talking about it aren't we and the fact the fact of the matter is is clearly that there hasn't been um the same indications this is about this is and I would wager you with all due respect this has happens in a lots of football clubs image right deals that were done once upon a time they were paying players over overseas and then they were getting non-recourse loans being paid back the mechanisms H went after all of them well they did they closed those schemes down but not withstanding that they still happened and there's plent you you've got you know you got the arguments about Conte and his sorry not Cony manini and the Dual contracts one being paid for by one entity another being paid for by Manchester City all of these are the fruits of the same tree yeah and Chelsea have have clearly not had the se you know the real attraction to Manchester city was the scale of the enormity of Manchester City's ownership model and I suspect some resistance what would be the negative of financial fair play being tossed out the winner and clubs been able to spend what they want the the what would be the backdrop of it yeah you players would get you players would get more money and football clubs would become un more unsustainable and the pyramid would get worse it's always been bad for the game it's great to a point but what what do we need to see do we really need to see players getting paid a million pound a week as a staple diet because some lunatic entity that feels that they can use a football club as influence is prepared to pay that you think that's where it we don't need it do we we definitely don't need it if you look at the if you look at the reality of the chionship the champion is is a division that you don't really want to be in for either reason you don't want to be in it because you want to get to the Premier League but you don't want to be in it because you can't afford to be because the actual applications but you get bug of all money from the broadcasters and you get the whiff of the Premier League wages in a in a sentence do Chelsea get hit with a points deduction I I don't I don't think so I don't think so on this instance no okay investigations are underway into the elite Files Jim
