Should this have been dealt with at the time? Yes. But I don't see how they can do anything about it now, 15 years later, not least because every single party involved in this bar maybe Defoe isn't in the game any more. Maybe a fine, but that'll be it.
Dunno man, that would also be an argument not to charge Chelsea and I'm sure we're gonna get fucked
No, it wouldn't be. Because this is a singular instance of a relatively minor offence at this stage, for which the precedent is a fine at best. The comparisons people draw to Luton ignore that Luton had 15 charges, not 1. The allegations against Chelsea are much more serious and have a direct relationship to the transfer activity in the last couple of years.
