Chelsea only narrowly dodged FFP penalty last season thanks to one massive transfer
A FINANCIAL expert has warned that Chelsea face a “more severe” points deduction than Everton and Nottingham Forest if they are found guilty of breaking Premier League financial rules.
The Blues have spent over £1billion on new signings since Todd Boehly’s arrival in 2022.

But clubs cannot record a loss of more than £105million over a three-year period under the League’s profit and sustainability rules.
Everton and Forest have both fallen foul this season, with each side receiving a points deduction.
Everton have been docked six points by the league following an appeal.
While Forest have been plunged into the relegation zone after a four-point hit.
Chelsea are yet to face any charges, with the club having also sold plenty of players.
More are likely to go this summer, with big earners such as Romelu Lukaku and Kepa Arrizabalaga linked with Saudi Arabia.
However, the Blues could miss out on European qualification for the second season running.
That would see their finances take a huge hit, especially with Boehly hoping to land a world-class striker.
