Chelsea could face points deduction over FFP breaches

Image
Chelsea could be punished by the Premier League for historic breach es of Financial Fair Play regulations uncovered by a new investigation. Fresh evidence has come to light suggesting that former owner Roman Abramovich circumnavigated FFP rules during his time in charge of the Blues. A joint investigation - known as Cyprus Confidential - between the Guardian , the Bureau of Investigative Journalism, the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, Germany's Paper Trail Media and other media has revealed Abramovich made hidden payments to key figures relating to Chelsea's transfer business and managerial changes. Italian Football agent Federico Pastorello, who is believed to have close ties to ex-Chelsea manager Antonio Conte, sold a 75% stake in American Business Excellent Investment Fund to Abramovich's Conibair Holdings company on July 18 2017 - the same day Conte signed a new £9.6m-a-year contract at Stamford Bridge.

What do Club América need on Apertura 2023 matchday 17 to set a new Liga MX points record?

After kicking off with a surprise home defeat to Juárez, there can be absolutely no question Club América have been the stand-out team in Liga MX’s Apertura 2023 tournament. André Jardine’s side were confirmed as “super leaders” with two matches to spare after the midweek win over Atlético San Luis, which was their sixth in a row and took their unbeaten run to 14 matches. They have since added another victory over Tijuana and could claim a Liga MX record in their final Game of the season against Tigres. Las Águilas have won 12, drawn three and lost one of their 16 league fixtures, taking 39 points from a possible 48. Three more from their visit to Estadio Universitario will take them onto 42, which no team has ever achieved in the league phase of a short tournament in its current format. #GANÓELAME 💙🦅💛 pic.twitter.com/25bapgV4QQ — Club América (@ClubAmerica) November 5, 2023 América already hold overall Liga MX short tournament record Coincidentally, América hold the “...

World Superbike: Alvaro Bautista two points away from title

Ducati rider Bautista pipped Yamaha man Razgatlioglu by just over a tenth of a second at the end of a breathless 20-lap encounter on Sunday afternoon, as the lead changed hands between the pair countless times. Razgatlioglu led heading into the final lap and looked as if he had done enough to edge out Bautista for what would have been only his third win in a full-length race of the season. But Bautista was able to close up to his opponent in the final sector of the track, and as Razgatlioglu slid exiting the penultimate corner, Bautista was able to find the grip to go all the way around the outside of the final right-hander and take the chequered flag by 0.136s. It completed a clean sweep of wins at Portimao - bringing his total for the year up to 24 out of a possible 33 - and gives him an almost-unassailable championship lead of 60 points heading to this month's final round at Jerez. Bautista needs to score just two points , the equivalent of a ...
