Chelsea have been handed the Premier League's biggest fine along with a one-year transfer ban suspended for two years. They self-reported the irregularities to the Premier League, the FA and UEFA. The Premier League said Chelsea's "proactive self-reporting" and "exceptional co-operation" throughout the investigation acted as significant mitigating factors when mulling over potential sanctions. Clubs have to provide the FA and Premier League accurate financial information every year. The Premier League does not have a statute of limitations.
