Ex-Chelsea chief slams 'extremely lenient' Premier League fine as new punishment suggested

Former Chelsea executive Christian Purslow criticizes the Premier League's punishment of the club for historical rule breaches, calling it overly lenient and suggesting harsher penalties.

Chelsea Football Club has recently been handed a suspended one-year transfer ban and fined £10.75 million for historical breaches of Premier League rules dating back to the tenure of former owner Roman Abramovich. This fine marks the largest in Premier League history, associated with more than £47 million in undisclosed payments made to players by third-party representatives. The breaches occurred between 2011 and 2018, during a period of significant spending and recruitment by the club.
