Pochettino calls for Chelsea to lose 2016-17 Premier League title
Chelsea were fined £10 million in July and given a suspended two-window transfer ban for breaching Premier League rules during the Roman Abramovich era.
Former Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino has called for Chelsea to forfeit their 2016-17 Premier League title, alleging the club broke financial regulations and should have been stripped of the trophy. Pochettino contends Chelsea received the championship after breaching Premier League rules, and he contends that the championship belongs to his team, which placed second.
Chelsea were fined £10 million and given a suspended two-window transfer ban for 74 breaches of FA regulations concerning agents, intermediaries, and third-party player investments. Pochettino asserts the authorities did not act sufficiently, stating the title should have gone to his team. He criticizes the inconsistent application of rules across clubs, including different offside rules and VAR usage.
