Chelsea announce the statement on the FA update.
Club Statement:
Chelsea FC is pleased to confirm that its engagement with The FA concerning matters that were self-reported by the club is now reaching a conclusion.
The Club’s ownership group completed its purchase of the club on 30 May 2022. During a thorough due diligence process prior to completion of the purchase, the ownership group became aware of potentially incomplete financial reporting concerning historical transactions and other potential breaches of FA rules. Immediately upon the completion of the purchase, the Club self-reported these matters to all relevant regulators, including The FA.
The Club has demonstrated unprecedented transparency during this process, including by giving comprehensive access to the Club’s files and historical data. We will continue working collaboratively with The FA to conclude this matter as swiftly as possible. We wish to place on record our gratitude to The FA for their engagement with the Club on this complex case, the focus of which has been on matters that took place over a decade ago.

i am not a Chelsea fan but, with what they have done, I have developed great respect for them, unlike other blue team who keep hiding things from the FA.

I think many people are misunderstanding Chelsea’s statement. The message is directed to the world especially the club’s supporters not to panic. The offenses were reported by the club itself, and Chelsea has been cooperating fully with the FA throughout the process, which is now nearing completion. There’s nothing to worry about, and any punishment is unlikely to be severe because the club demonstrated professionalism during the entire process.
