Transfer embargo placed on Chelsea

[red g]

Chelsea will take this to the European Court for Sports Arbitration in Switzerland, no doubt.

yep, i cant help but feel this is all wishful thinking and the ban will be lifted for sure.

How many times do we see it in this country and globally, association gives heavy punishment....club appeals and it gets lifted and this club has a rather rich oligarch at the helm who used to be able to make people dissapear easily and not in a david copperfield way!!

although would be great if platini went missing

No way will FIFA have the balls to see this through. Funny as **** for the next few days though, some serious piss taking is in order.

Didn't Platini say the other day that Abramovich had asked him to help bring an end to big spending in football because he didn't want to have to continue spending big out his own pocket

Well, maybe this will help them to break even and be self sufficient in 2010

They'll just operate a buy now, register later policy, knda like furniture shopping...but in all honest, this own't hurt them at all, cos their current squad will last the time, and has enough depth to cope with injuries.

Lol, not even mentioned on the chelsea website.

i don't think they have that big a squad to cope with the african nations cup, injurys and the loss of some players that want to leave(like carvalho, deco, etc), they'll have a fair bit of trouble.

How would that work? Players would sign for them without being able to be registered, and play?

I am really pissed off about this. I dont know any Chav's to wind up

If this is upheld, they're a bit ****ed. You might have players who'd wanna leave and chelsea would have to refuse to sell them. But then, if a contract is running down, players can go on a bosman.
