Don't know if someone posted it yet but it's all over the net:

http://www.aljazeera.com/sport/football/2014/04/barca-transfer-ban-suspended-201442394353208117.html

We'll wait for he appeal so if our managemen is smar they'll close as many deals as possible now and let things fight out in court for registration even if he ban does get upheld following appea.

Barcelona's ban from transfer market activity, due to last until the end of next season, has been temporarily lifted after the Spanish club appealed the decision, football's governing body FIFA said.

FIFA's Appeal Committee said it had granted Barcelona the so-called 'suspensive effect' meaning that the sanctions will be lifted until a final decision has been taken.

Earlier this month, the Spanish champions were banned for two consecutive windows and fined $508,100 for breaching rules on the international transfer of foreign under-18 players. The effectively meant the club could not sign any players until July 2015.

FIFA said that due to the complexity of the case, the appeals process, including a possible appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), was unlikely to be exhausted before the opening of the transfer window on July 1. It had, therefore, allowed the suspensive effect.

"The chairman of the FIFA Appeal Committee, Larry Mussenden, took into consideration the sanctions imposed against the club, the complexity of the matter, the start date of the next registration period - 1 July 2014," FIFA said in a statement.

"The FIFA Appeal Committee does not seem in a position to take a decision on the main issue early enough so that an eventual appeal of the club against its decision before the Court of Arbitration for Sport would still be decided before the beginning of the next registration period.

"Consequently, the chairman of the FIFA Appeal Committee considered that the appeal lodged by the club is to be granted suspensive effect."

Buy the flavor of the month Laporte, Doria, Kroos(That Pep, the traitor, owes us one for making a home grown player a traitor :p) & Mandzukic please... Offload Cesc & Song. Promote Rafinha & loan out the kid at Everton again, this time to a team where he could get to play more... Roll on the new season!

Do you really think that Mandzukic would fit our playing style? IMO it would be Ibra all over again, - he doesn't fit, he would be benched and unhappy and would be sold the next season.

Great news.
And if after all of that Zubi changed his mind and didn't wanted to buy a CB ? :lol: "TS or no one"

No seriously, hopefully we'll invest a lot of money on players this summer. We're talking about our future and the actual board is playing his next election this summer. If they don't buy enough players to make our squad one of the most competitive in Europe knowing that they have the opportunity to recruit, they will for sure get the fuck out in 2016.
