Manchester City have 115 charges over alleged breaches of the Premier League’s financial rules hanging over their head. The club were charged in February 2023 for breaching the league’s Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules during a nine-year period between 2009 and 2018. City strongly deny these charges and an independent commission is set to review the case. In the meantime, both Nottingham Forest and Everton have been charged for breaching the league’s FFP rules. Forest were docked four points while Everton were initially deducted 10 points before it was reduced to six on appeal. The Toffees were charged for a…

Premier League footballers Michail Antonio and Tom Cairney have expressed their disbelief at Mauricio Pochettino’s pre-match comments ahead of Chelsea’s defeat to Arsenal. The Argentine’s comments have been put under the microscope after he urged his team to step up and prove they weren’t “Cole Palmer FC.” The comments backfired spectacularly as the Blues turned in arguably their worst performance of the season against their rivals. The 52 year old’s comments about Palmer have been met with confusion, given Chelsea’s over reliance on the 21-year-old, and before the Arsenal Pochhettio said: “It is a good challenge if Palmer is not…

Chelsea have identified a new problem area, and have shortlisted four players to fill it this summer, according to the latest reports. Pochettino poses problem Mauricio Pochettino finally seems to have had enough of being the fall guy at Stamford Bridge, and took aim at his own players after the heavy thrashing by Arsenal in midweek. His side were torn apart 5-0 in the Premier League by the title-challenging Gunners, and the Argentine admitted that his side gave up, having ended the game in a back five with veteran Thiago Silva having to be sent on to stem the tide.…

Fabrizio Romano has claimed that Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp stopped Chelsea from signing one player last summer. The Reds and the Blues made a lot of headlines in last summer’s transfer window. Both Liverpool and Chelsea wanted to sign Moises Caicedo from Brighton and Romeo Lavia from Southampton last year. It was a tense transfer battle, but Chelsea came out on top in both deals and Liverpool missed out. After Caicedo and Lavia, Chelsea wanted to sign another player – one at Liverpool – but Klopp personally intervened and rejected that move. Romano has shared some more details regarding what…

Ruben Amorim is reportedly among the leading candidates to succeed Mauricio Pochettino at Chelsea this summer, and the appointment could bring the very best out of several stars already on the books at Stamford Bridge. The Sporting boss has not ruled out a move to the Premier League at the end of the season, with Liverpool and West Ham linked previously. Pochettino remains at risk of being sacked by the Blues, with his side’s 5-0 thumping at the hands of Arsenal in midweek highlighting the gulf in quality between the two London rivals. Despite having such a pricey team at…

Chelsea are likely to breach the Premier League’s profit and sustainability rules after admitting to an overspend in their latest accounts. Speaking on the latest edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, senior correspondent Pete O’Rourke revealed it is almost certain the Blues will be handed a points deduction and possibly a transfer embargo. There has so far been no update provided on the situation and no charges handed out to the club, but Football Insider revealed on 18 April that the Premier League is still conducting its investigation into the matter. The west London outfit posted a loss of…

John Terry’s appearance on a podcast this week has certainly generated a few interesting headlines and storylines. We particularly liked his take on Conor Gallagher, the current player who has had the dubious honour of taking the armband which JT once proudly wore in happier times. Terry insisted that he was happy with the decision to make Gallagher happened, and admitted there weren’t many others in the squad that he considered up to the task of captaining the Blues. “I like Conor. I’ve known him since he was a young kid. Seeing him now as a Chelsea fan, I look…

Mauricio Pochettino has stated he’s not spoken directly to Chelsea’s owners for “months” as his job comes under increasing pressure. The Blues hit a new low on Tuesday night losing 5-0 to Arsenal, their biggest defeat in any London derby since 1986. That defeat came off the back of Chelsea’s FA Cup semi final defeat to Manchester City, meaning the club will go two consecutive seasons without silverware for the first time since 2003. The Argentine admitted he hadn’t “crossed paths” with Todd Boehly, and the last face to face meeting with the club’s owners is believed to have been…

Mauricio Pochettino and the Chelsea ownership have reportedly decided to keep a pair of wingers on the roster. The clearly talented duo will stay at Stamford Bridge in spite of arguably overall indifferent showings and many respective inconsistencies this season. In addition to covering that story, The Pride of London take a look at a claim that the Blues have chosen their main transfer target for the role of solo striker. Let’s get started! Firstly, the wingmen. I actually rate both Mykhailo Mudryk and Noni Madueke. They certainly have similar qualities, as well as offering comparable benefits to the team.…

Chelsea legend, Ashley Cole was recently speaking to Euro Sport and a certain star from Tottenham popped into his mind. Cole is one of the best full-backs to ever grace a football pitch. His exploits down the left flank are truly the stuff of legend. He was shedding light on his experiences with the Blues. How his debut went down, the changes that come with retirement and how winning becomes a job when you play for one of the top-flight clubs. Ashley also compared the fullbacks from his generation to current fullbacks. He was quick to point out how that…
