Chelsea report £128.4m profit after selling women’s side to themselves.
Chelsea appear to have complied with the Premier League’s profitability and sustainability rules (PSR) through player sales by selling the women’s team to the club’s parent company. Chelsea announced they had turned last year’s pre-tax loss of £90.1m into a pre-tax profit of £128.4m for the financial year ending 30 June 2024.
The results were filed at Companies House by Chelsea FC Holdings Limited and represent a significant shift after heavy losses under the ownership of Clearlake Capital and Todd Boehly in previous years.
Although Chelsea’s revenue dipped to £468.5m after another season out of the Champions League for the men’s team, they said their financial picture “benefited from increased profit on disposal of player registrations and repositioning of Chelsea Football Club Women Ltd”.
Liverpool 1-0 Everton: PGMOL acknowledges James Tarkowski should have been sent off for foul on Alexis Mac Allister.
PGMOL acknowledges Everton defender James Tarkowski should have been sent off for his tackle on Liverpool's Alexis Mac Allister, Sky Sports News understands.
Tarkowski met the leg of Mac Allister high and with force when following through on a tackle in which he first won the ball during Everton's 1-0 defeat at Anfield.
The challenge was deemed reckless and he was given a yellow card, with the challenge then reviewed by VAR.
PGMOL are understood to agree that the challenge saw Tarkowski clearly play the ball initially. However, the nature of the follow-through met the threshold for serious foul play.
Referee Sam Barrott felt the challenge was reckless in real time and the VAR then checked that on-field decision of a yellow card, deeming the referee's call was not a clear and obvious error.
However, the view of PGMOL is that a review should have been recommended and ultimately the original decision overturned.
