Simon Jordan has made an explosive claim that Chelsea are 'bigger and worse offenders' than Manchester City.
After Roman Abramovich sold the club, the Blues' new owners acknowledged breaches concerning undisclosed payments during his stewardship.
Earlier this year, Chelsea were hit with a £10.75million fine and handed a suspended one-year first-team transfer ban for those violations.
Chelsea also received an immediate nine-month academy transfer ban and a separate £750,000 fine for breaches related to youth player registrations.
Chelsea's self-reporting and co-operation were factors considered when deciding their punishment.
And former Crystal Palace chairman Jordan said on Piers Morgan's Sports Uncensored...
If you believe in fairness and Man City's team have been assembled in an unfair way, but the interesting thing for me is that if you introduce unjust rules - don't be surprised when people behave unjustly.
Why isn't there real rage about Chelsea? Chelsea were allowed to do what Man City were never allowed to do and yet, six years after they were allowed into the room, they still cheated.
So Chelsea got in the room, got to spend what they want, Man City come along and then people went 'no, you can't come in, we're going to shut the door now.'
But Chelsea were already in that room and five years later, they're still cheating. So Chelsea actually are bigger offender and worse offenders than Man City. Because Man City weren't ever allowed to be in the room and they've had to cheat to get in the room.
So when you think about it in those terms, start getting some ire about Chelsea as well.
Chelsea have been approached for comment.
