Simon Jordan has accused Chelsea of being 'bigger and worse offenders' than Manchester City regarding breaches of financial regulations. During an appearance on Piers Morgan's Uncensored, the former Crystal Palace owner criticized the lack of scrutiny directed at Chelsea in comparison to City, who are facing severe penalties after being found guilty of financial misconduct. Jordan highlighted Chelsea's past violations during Roman Abramovich's ownership, including undisclosed payments amounting to £47.5 million. Chelsea received a £10.75 million fine and other sanctions while asserting that they would have adhered to the league's rules had the payments been disclosed. The situation sheds light on Chelsea's historical financial practices and the ongoing discourse around compliance in the Premier League.
