Chelsea's current ownership group, BlueCo, reported these incidents to English football's governing body after completing their £2.5 billion purchase in 2022.

As part of the sale, BlueCo set aside a portion of the purchase price as a "holdback amount" to cover potential fines and other penalties.

According to football finance expert Stefan Borson, the club may face a points deduction due to these infractions.

Borson noted that the holdback amount is substantial and may not only cover fines, but also potential losses from sporting sanctions, such as losing a European spot or Premier League merit payments.
