Chelsea and Man City tipped for relegation by 

FFP expert following Everton’s shock ten-point 

penalty

(Didn't even know Swine Chelsea were in hot water.)

Stefan Borson, a lawyer who has advised Pep Guardiola's side in the past, provided his thoughts on X.

"Without seeing the judgement/award, minus ten points for Everton feels harsh for a straightforward FFP [Financial Fair Play] breach to me.

"But reinforces that sanctions against City (if proven) and now Chelsea (if charged and admitted on the off-books payments) will be potentially relegation inducing.

"One thing is for sure, given the scale of this sporting sanction, Chelsea's calculus [in my opinion] that they could breach PL P&S [Profit and Sustainability] and just take a fine as a cost of doing business, must be in urgent and immediate reconsideration.

"The January window may be interesting. Even in the best case, they [i.e. CHELSEA] can no longer rely on being able to convince an Independent Commission to accept their Covid and Sanctions allowances as exceptional adjustments [to the extent that was the plan]."

It remains to be seen what lies ahead following City's alleged 115 breaches of rules, which include sponsors and contracts.
