:yikes: I didn't see that head-on collision coming!

My guess it they'll appeal and it'll be dropped to one window, but they do seem to have picked Chelsea out for special treatment :NoNo: Still, rules is rules.

all clubs tap players...man city have been tapping lescott all summer

That's because it was the transfer window :doh

LOL



That is all

[David House]

Good. As soon as we can return to some sanity in football I will start watching the Premier League again. The way it is run now has nothing whatever to do with a club's roots, only who has thrown money at it. The "supporters" are simply pawns in a money making game, there to decorate the stands for the TV cameras. Until then I will follow the lower leagues knowing the football I see is real. Chelsea are a prime example of everything which is wrong and along with Sky TV I would happily kick their owner out of the UK. I feel sorry for any longterm Chelsea supporters who must feel really uncomfortable at what has happened to their once genuine club.

oops...i made a little mistake...

tapping during the transfer window is cool....or is it?

tapping is tapping...all teams are guilty

[somebody]

Agent Frank Arnesen thank you sir a huge sum for losing you and now this:D

People who know more of what was happening at Tottenham and from what I heard about Mr Arnesens past im glad he did move on although he was changing the team round at Spurs for the coach at the time.

Like David House rightly says I feel sorry for the fans who are the ones who really suffer.

With many of the key players at 30 or older and didn't they just release Shevchenko? Hope the contracts are all over 3 years long otherwise what happens then:Erm: Im guessing they cant extend contracts either?

Belfast Dude although quite a few clubs do sail close to the wind Frank took it to the extreme it seems.

Although I have no love for the chelsea management, and the fans day to day:D
It does seem unfair the fans get punished like this. I hope somehow the management when they appeal end up the ones suffering somehow and the club/fans dont suffer or something out of their control:NoNo:

I belive they were on a suspended sentence for similar:Erm: and man utd may wanna watch out as well.

I think they can only appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport other teams have already been punished inthis way as shown in the link so may not get off.

[bornatbirth]

bigger teams have been buying up all the younger players for years,if they didnt try getting out of paying for them the teams wouldnt be in this mess?

:D Here we go !

The transfer ban imposed on Chelsea could soon hit Manchester United, after Le Havre contacted Fifa about the circumstances surrounding the signing of Paul Pogba.

The Ligue 2 side, home to one of the finest soccer academies in France, have asked the world governing body to investigate the transfer of the 16-year-old midfielder, who left to join the Premier League champions last month.

They should have a ban on all transfers for anyone under 18.

What are you smiling about at all? Your club can't buy anyone for two windows, as of now United can. Nothing to smile about I'd say.

Considering Le Havre didn't have a contract with Pogba but Lens did with Kakuta I'd say Le Havre don't really have a case. How can you induce someone to break a contract they don't have?

This is what Le Havre said on Saturday :BouncyHappy:

"The player had a no-hire agreement, and so had to sign his first contract in France," the Le Havre president told radio station France Info.

"But he didn't sign it because Manchester United contacted the parents and made astronomical and excessive financial propositions for a 15-year-old boy.

"We have submitted the case to FIFA. The letter to leave has not been agreed by the French Federation, so today FIFA has been referred.

"I hope we will get the same result [as the Kakuta case], which could justify to those clubs they can't do anything and they have rules to respect."

Manchester United insisted on Friday that they would challenge any punishment that may materialise as a result.


Hearing that gives me reason to grin not the usual lies and spin coming out of Sold Trafford

They are both at fault, and we all know it, but loyalty to our teams prevent us to see the light.:doh

Threats of court action, doesn't cut any ice, as it will be a smokescreen or at worst a bluff to shut the frenchies up, for fear of having to go through something they can't afford to do...:action-smiley-081:

Now, kiss :butthead: and make up.... Ta.
