Take away those titles!
I’m not sure if anything substantial will wind up happening mostly because Clearlake have been upfront with the Premier League and self reported potential infractions.
BUT if this leads to significant punishment down the line, it will taint Abramovich’s legacy as owner. He will no longer be known as strictly the serial winner who took us to a household name. It’s not my place to adjudicate nor am I naive enough to think his image was totally clean before all of this. It’s just something to ponder. Potential punishment on top of the two transfer bans we were handed? It skews the measurements.
Everyone already knew he was a criminal and operated the club in a shady manner. Only deluded Chelsea fans think it was done legally in any way. Not a diss but this literally doesn’t change anything, and I don’t think most Chelsea fans would care anyway, they’ve got their titles
