They're also the same entity, and if the charges are proven it has given the current entity the advantage, regardless of who owned the club at the time

I do think Chelsea are heading for a sizeable points deduction. But we'll see. Can never predict anything in football

Tottenham's FA Cup ban was eventually lifted, as was the points deduction. They got to the semi-final and lost to 4-1 to Everton.
I've heard that Clearlake held back £100 million in payment for the club just in case they get a big fine. Which the FA might need if Lucas Paqueta decides to sue them.

Unfortunately for them a points deduction is coming, the PL set that as a precedent in the Everton and Forest cases that a fine is not appropriate for something that was deemed to have given them a sporting advantage. This is on another level again so expect a huge points sanction.
