Damning stuff in the Guardian

1) It said Vitesse had provided “incorrect information” that was important for a forensic investigation of whether it had breached sanctions law. It said Vitesse had also withheld vital information

2) The KNVB’s licensing committee said it had concluded that there were “indications” that Abramovich had controlled, or still controlled, Vitesse and that there were “risks” that sanctions had been violated. It said it would await the outcome of the ministry’s investigation

3) In a statement on their website, Vitesse said the deduction had been “inevitable”, citing factors including their submission of incorrect half-yearly financial figures and their inability to demonstrate that they did not have ties to Abramovich.

Chelsea feeder club?

Not feeder per se. Abramovich was friends with the Vitesse owner. During those years, Chelsea sent 28 players on loan there.
