yeah I imagine it won't be as bad as it originally looks. They have already confirmed that they will appeal the decision, and given that both Barcelona and Atletico were able to postpone this for a while, I expect them to be able to do the same. They'll probably get to delay this until 2020, so that'd give them some wiggle room. Could be an interesting summer for them because they'll probably have to sell both Hazard and Hudson-Odoi while also splashing a ton of cash to make up for it. I expect them to pay some Kepa-style inflated fees ... but at the same time they are so good at selling players that I wouldn't be shocked if they got ridiculous money for deadwood like Drinkwater, Bakayoko and so on.

and then there's Sarri. Will be an interesting few months for them.

EDIT: of course, they could just turn to their gazillions of youth players instead of loaning them for a change.
