Chelsea fans have BlueCo to thank for the fact that their club avoided sporting sanctions now on the table for Manchester City. Self-reporting and “unprecedented” cooperation on serious Abramovich era rule-breaking made all the difference 👇 www.nytimes.com/athletic/764...

nytimes.com

The Man City case is a powerful reminder of a fate that could have befallen Chelsea

Chelsea's post-Abramovich ownership adopted a proactive and deft approach to dealing with the financial irregularities they inherited

Not just a #CFC game making news tonight. #NFFC very keen on striker Liam Delap - but Chelsea want a permanent sale rather than a loan. More here: www.nytimes.com/athletic/738...

Nottingham Forest in advanced talks with Chelsea to sign striker Liam Delap

The west London club value the striker at around £50million ($68.19m) and prefer a permanent deal.
