Chelsea FFP Probe Update, Man City and Arsenal Await Points Deduction Decision

Premier League teams are under scrutiny for financial rule compliance, and Chelsea is currently being investigated for possible breaches. Both the Premier League and the FA are looking into Chelsea's financial history in relation to Financial Fair Play rules.

Manchester City faced charges following a lengthy investigation revealing 115 alleged breaches. City plans to dispute these claims, and an independent panel is expected to handle the case in the future, leading to a prolonged process.

The outcome of City's case is of great interest to rivals like Arsenal and Liverpool in the title race. The potential consequences for any violations remain uncertain, but a similar case involving Everton gives an idea of the possible severity.

Everton faced charges of overspending the allowed losses by about £20 million over a three-year period. The independent panel handed them a ten-point deduction, affecting their league position, but the decision is under appeal.
The final results of these situations are uncertain, but it seems the Premier League has additional concerns. Journalist David Ornstein reported ongoing investigations into Chelsea's historical financial records. Ornstein mentioned on NBC:

Chelsea still faces a financial fair play issue being looked into by the Premier League and FA, focusing on potential historic breaches from the Roman Abramovich era. The current owners have acknowledged the matter and are cooperating with the investigation. No updates are available at the moment.
