Relegation looms for Chelsea and treble winners if found guilty for breaking FFP rules says Man City former advisor

Everton were recently hit with a 10-point deduction after being found guilty of breaking the Premier League FFP rule.

The deduction has left the Toffees stunned and has sent them to the relegation position in the Premier League table.

On the other hand, there are 115 suspected violations of the Premier League's financial regulations against City and Chelsea have also come under investigation for purported payments made to previous owner Roman Abramovich.

Stefan Borson has issued a stern warning to Man City and Chelsea, insisting that if found guilty, their punishment could be far worse than that of Everton.

City's former adviser Stefan Borson, tweeted on Friday after the Everton news, as reported by Daily Mail, saying, “Without seeing the judgement/award -10 points for Everton feels harsh for a straightforward FFP [Financial Fair Play] breach to me.

“But reinforces that sanctions against City [if proven] and now Chelsea [if charged and admitted on the off-books payments] will be potentially relegation inducing.

“One thing is for sure, given the scale of this sporting sanction, Chelsea's calculus [in my opinion] that they could breach PL P&S [Profit and Sustainability] and just take a fine as a cost of doing business, must be in urgent and immediate reconsideration.

“The January window may be interesting. Even in the best case, they can no longer rely on being able to convince an Independent Commission to accept their Covid and Sanctions allowances as exceptional adjustments [to the extent that was the plan].”

Manchester City and Chelsea will be hoping that they don’t fall into the same situation as that of Everton.
