[Football] Chelsea transfer BAN

[Icy Gull]

Just the time to get Mourinho back. He'd just love to manage a team without spending money!

Seriously, although the idea has been suggested (and pooh-poohed already), having to develop what is there does make the job more suitable for Wenger than it was before the ban.

Chelsea fans are twats, Ranieri, Conte and Rafa were treated as inferior managers by their fanbase even though they both delivered far more than the current incumbent. The definition of entitlement.

Banned for what could arguably be called child trafficking. Hardly surprising, nasty club. I hope they lose their appeal.

Will appeal, and get one ban, which will be January 2020, so no loss I expect.

Irrelevant seeing that they already have 10,000 players signed.

I liked the Gary Lineker tweet about Spurs having gone through a 2 window ban without suffering too much

So the investigation showed that Chelsea had breached the rules in 29 of 93 deals, Including playing Bernard Traore 25 times for their youth sides without registering him with the FA.

I can't see why the decision should be overturned, it looks an open and shut case.

Indeed - morally - if they're so keen to sign all these kids then a two window ban will give them a chance to actually select a few of them for the 1st XI.

I'm sure Eden Hazard will want to leave even more now Chelsea are facing a season of no Champions League football and no new signings. And if Chelsea do miss out on Champions League football will they accept a bid of - say £75 mill from Real - to compensate for loss of income and cash in on a decreasing asset (contract expired June 2020)?
