I think people are forgetting something important, that football is a sport not a business. Just because there are new owners, it shouldn’t forgive that sporting integrity was potentially breached.
However if the new Chelsea owners did report several breaches then there should be mitigation and there should be some leniency. However they do need to be punished in sporting terms. There shouldn’t be fines because it is a different ownership.

You have it backwards. Football is a business under the guise of being a sport. That is why improprieties like this continue with every club. $$$$
