Love the way Traore played for them when he wasn't even registered to do so. The FA didn't care. Probably because it's Chelsea and they are desperately scrambling around for support to hold a big tournament here.
The FA fined £390k for their part in all this. No doubt turning a blind eye to the antics one of the big boys.
Liverpool were done for something like this and I believe Everton too. Got a ban from signing youth players..
Well, that means they won’t be able to add to their stockpile of 100 young players. They should be able to weather the storm.

No surprise to see Chelsea are appealing : No date set for it .. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/47459808
While their appeal is pending they may be able to sign players this summer, given that this ban is likely to be enforced it could be that selling clubs will be able to bump prices up as they desperately try to strengthen.
Maybe they will appeal against this or hope to get it fast tracked ! https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/47500863
