Chelsea

[Bojan]

Serves them well. I hope Arsenal is next, how many teenagers did they poach and how many careers ruined.

[antonnn]

Depends if Arsenal did it shoddy or not. They are a lot more careful than us.

[Beast]

We tab players like every single European club big or small.. but never pushed a player to breach his contract Anton.
don't try to throw our name in this

[antonnn]

I'm only naming another shoddy team as an example of how FIFA would not punish them, I'm not going into details, relax.

You should see what they are trying to say on Chelsea sites, all these conspiracy theories and all this garbage. Get over it, we got banned rightfully for being shady cunts, let the club make the appeal and just wait and see what happens.

[Cule Angles]

You're missing the point Anton. Madrid are shoddy, but not nearly as shoddy as Chelski, hence why you're being punished and they're not, it's the equivalent of the cannabis users not being prosecuted by police whilst cocaine dealers are. It has nothing to do with bias or favouritism, I'd be the first to cry foul if I thought madrid were being given preferential treatment.

[antonnn]

I'm speaking hypothetically, I'm saying if Madrid DID do it, they wouldn't get punished, same with all the other elite teams. I'm saying that FIFA won't be consistent with banning of clubs if they did shoody shit unless they aren't a MASSIVE clubs(like Chelsea). After making a big example of somebody, they definately need to keep up with it, that's all, Madrid was named by me cause they are the biggest club in the world. It's the same in all sports, the governing bodies are never consistent with anything, it's crazy.

[FlyLo]

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHA
Fuckin' A I hope their appeal gets rejected.

[antonnn]

Depends on how strongly they want to make an example of us, my head says the appeal will fail, but past happenings say it'll be reduced.

[blueduck]

It would be a piss take if they don't punish other clubs tbh.

Le Havre were pissed at the rags for poaching their player in similar circumstances.

Could be years before they get charged though.

[Gnegneri]

Why the hell would chelsea be an example? Do you really think you're the first club taht gets a transfer ban for going against teh rules?

[antonnn]

Who ever said that? Banning for 18 months is a big statement, dur?

Not quite so immaculately concieved.

Le Havre were pissed at the rags for poaching their player in similar circumstances.

Who?

[Gnegneri]

Cause you're acting like "EEOOEOEEO Chelsea, I get it example example" while it's just a team that did things that weren't allowed. And therefore you get punished. Not for 18 months. Just for two periods, which is 9 months.

So I don't see any example. Just a gigantic club that has acted like morons.

[blueduck]

Who?

United seem to think they didn't do anything wrong, but Le Havre are still pissed.

To be fair we aren't anywhere near a gigantic club.

Grr, one article I read said 18 months. My bad. Then to be totally honest the ban isn't a bad one, in January 2011 we can still sign one UEFA Cup guy and some other decent players.

[VivaBarca]

Bad for Chelsea they have an ageing squad.
