We’d also see the field become a casualty ward after half time in every game.

I’m not even sure these files were actually “leaked”. Chelsea have been reviewing the books and submitting opaque transactions as possible FFP violations to the PL since the new owners took over. Are these violations different from the ones that were self-reported?

I think Palmer is much more likely to move to one of the wings than the bench. Losing his creativity and intelligence would be disastrous when our strikers take 5 good chances to score a goal.
