LOL. However its now much more likely they will recall their loan player to us at some point.

[CB Fry]

Now we are only four freak goalkeeping injuries from the most LOLtastic situation since the dawn of the Champion's League era.

[hypochondriac]

They will appeal and it will be reduced.

Oh, how I chuckled.

No it's not, he's still miles off being anywhere near their first team! No doubt Chelsea will get the lawyers working on this and will somehow find a loophole, rather amusing nonetheless!

It sounds as though tehey can still sell players though.

 

 

imho this could be doing them a favour in the long term, but will the likes of JT be gutted that he can't leverage even more money out of them next year based on new players being on more than him?

The unprecedented punishment comes after

Obviously don't do their research as well as the BBC, because 5Live have said they are the second team to be punished like this, after a Swiss team

Brilliant, also all the players who sign in Jan 2011 will be cup tied too so it will be 2 years before they can sign anyone to play in Europe and they do have an ageing squad.

I;m sure they had a suspended sentence frome something else before, so maybe this has been triggered by this signing

[Saint Mikey]

I think the blatant influence of the Big 4 will be held up for all to see in this situation and Chelsea will get away with it scot-free. If this is actually imposed, I'll eat a jester's hat.

[Thedelldays]

will this ban go through after chelsea appeal a restraint of trade..?

[saint_bert]

Should have learnt their lesson after the whole Ashley Cole thing.

 

However Uefa/Fifa have to be consistant with this as it goes on every where

[Gemmel]

Taken as a quote from the BBC article......******* Genius, remind me again have much lawyers get paid...

 

 

 

If I'm a lawyer advising my club, I would ensure at all times they are not seen to be inducing that breach of contract

This is Arsenal's chance to overtake Chelsea in the big four, I wonder if they take it. Doubt it.

[Post-it note]

Henry can't sign for Chelsea.

They had a suspended 3 point deduction from the PL. I hope they invoke that if its still within the time frame allowed.
