When I first read the news of this my immediate thought was here we go, they're setting an extremely low bar precedent for whatever so called punishment awaits Manchester City. But an admittedly quick read of an article on Sky throws a slightly different slant on things. When Blueco bought Chelsea they did an audit on Abramovic's transfer activities and payments to football agents etc during his time as owner.

It was Blueco who found the irregularities and it was Blueco who handed the details and some 200,000 documents over to the Premier League for further investigation. They've been transparent and cooperative with the football authorities from day one. This is why their fine and embargos are lower than what may otherwise have been expected. Despite this the FA are also conducting their own investigations and may yet impose further sanctions.
