Seems suspicious to me that only after Mutu proved that he still had transfer potential that Chelsea decided to go after him.

Chelsea decided to take him to court for a reason. That reason was a loss of transfer fee.

And it’s about time that the Premier League becomes accountable for their talent poaching – 2 more were stolen this summer from Italy to ManUre. The only reason that England has a different law regarding professional contracts is so that they can steal from others.

If English teams get hit hard… I will still go to sleep at night. Won’t bother me at all to see justice done. Finally.

England needs to learn that they are passengers in the UEFA bus.

Now with FIFA current tough stance on things, the whole eduardo incident is bullshit, 2 match ban for a dive that basically goes over the head of the referee and imposes a fine on a player outside of the game, if the ref doesnt call it you cant fine a player simple as that, otherwise you would need to rescind yellow cards and red cards for incorrect calls.
This chelsea thing is bullshit too because kakuta came to chelsea when he was 15. If im not mistaken players in france cant sign pro contracts till 16 or 18. That means it was a youth contract he rescinded. It means basically if this goes through then clubs that have had their players poached(macheda is a good example but plenty of others) could all sue and could lobby to impose the same restrictions on players.
Very dangerous precident to set, especially if chelsea gets the fine and no other club does, it basically means that chelsea would be in their civil right to sue FIFA. And if other teams do get fined suddenly the english clubs would be hit very hard.

Once the club figured out that they could have gotten a transfer fee – once they figured out that they f’ed up royally – they retroactively tried to get that money back and at the same time tried to clean some of the egg off their own face.

They didn’t try to get it from the club that bought his contract, because they have no standing to do so – they legally released Mutu.

So they are trying to extort the player into paying what they should have gotten had they been smarter. Or competent.

That’s why he’s a martyr. Everyone realizes that drugs are wrong and that he’s wrong for taking them.

However, everyone realizes that he wasn’t the one at fault for Chelsea acting like idiots, either.

And of course there’s the requisite Barca fan, still pleasuring himself to the one shot they had on target for that entire game.
