He is next in line for head of FIFA and has stuck 2 fingers up to PSG and us. The bloke is a ****. Honestly who gives a Frenchman power it goes right to his cheese eating surrender monkey head
It doesn't matter where he goes. The point is that he's spreading his credibility very thin, and may very easily end up with a massive amount of egg on his face.

The precedent has been set by Bosman and restrictions by Uefa of this kind have surely been outlawed! As a direct result of uefas actions , a player would have his rights curtailed.
This would surely mean that any sort of squad restriction would be a contravention of the law as has already been decided in court.
They've gotten rid of a few of the big earners so the BT deal might get them out of the shit but it'll be a close run thing.Essex blue said:Sorry guys I was bored but seeing as Chelsea have just bid £32 mill for costa got me thinking about recent net transfers.
Last 3 years the following teams have spent
Chelsea over £170 mill net
Liverpool over £96 mill nett
Man utd over £139 mill nett
Man city £141 mill nett
Will chelsea be in trouble next season with FFP? They are bound to spend more in the summer as are liverpool and utd!
It's impossible to say. You're asking for a simplistic answer to a complex question. Chelsea sign Diego Costa for £32m and it gets apportioned over the life of his contract. So if it's 5 years, it goes in the accounts at £6.4m a year. Let's assume they pay him £120k a week, which is another £6.2m a year. So that's an additional cost of £12.6m. But it depends on what revenue they have coming in and what costs they remove from the books. So if Ashley Cole is on £160k a week, they lose £8.3m a year. If Ba is on £120k a week and goes, they lose another £6.2m a year.Essex blue said:Sorry guys I was bored but seeing as Chelsea have just bid £32 mill for costa got me thinking about recent net transfers.

All I'll say is everyone involved in the process has to sign confidentiality clauses so I see speculation as just that.

How does that fit in with UEFA's transparency rules then?
