Its got nothing to do with freedom of employment, they can still sell players, they just cant sign them.

Of course it has. Selling or Signing is the same thing. It's transferring a player, or moving someone to another job.

They have an embargo on them, but say there is a player who is prevented from going to Chelsea, he wants to go to Chelsea, so he is not getting the freedom of employment.

I can see what your saying though. It's a grey area.
 
Cannot see this sticking, whether it is a 'special dispensation' to sign cover for a set of injuries, or 'free' players turning up, or just a straight legal fight on the grounds of an appeal due to what appears a gross over reaction.
Better Chelsea win the title than our lovable cousins* in red.
 

Right, hang-on. before we hammer UEFA or Plattini (even thou i think he's a fukking plimpsole).

The same thing happend to Roma a year or so ago when they signed Phillip Mexas from France as well. He could'nt play for 4 months an they could'nt buy for 2 windows. Which on appeal was put down to 1.....

They'll appeal, get it down to 1 year and a massive fine I bet.

Will be reduced on appeal i would say - deserved really when you consider what they did with Mikel, Cole its not reallt there first offence.

Even if it gets no where ill be disgusted if we dont report City over the Lescott affair.

We may not have to - Chelsea threatened to report them over Terry earlier in the summer, can definately see them going for it now, making sure they're not the only big-spending club in the crapper.

4 transfer windows is excessive, but I guess that's the point so it can be halved and the punishment's still harsh enough to deter clubs in the future.
 
Chelsea induced the young player to break a contract nothing as such to do with freedom of employment Ghost as inducements were offered. Which is ehy the player and Chelsea have been told to pay Lens compensation for the approach, breach of contract and for time put in for 7 years of training.

We should be standing by the tough stance on this not poking fun at Platini etc. It is the kind of action off the field needed to clean the game up. What we need now is also tough action on the field.

I know that, but what I was saying is a transfer embargo is a restriction on the freedom of employment, which led me on to think that the transfer window is actually illegal also.
 
"However, the problem arises in the Joleon Lescott deal.
Everton clearly did not want to sell one of their prized assets. David Moyes clearly did not want to lose one of his defensive stalwarts. Alas Lescott is now at Manchester City.
Moyes reacted furiously to City's constant approaches for Lescott, until, as Everton claimed, "The player's head was turned."
Evidently, it was the large wages and promises of challenging for titles that made Lescott want to join City so dearly and Everton got a good deal for their man.
In essence, have Manchester City done what Chelsea stands for doing?
Lescott left Everton against their wishes (although I am sure they readily accepted the hefty fee), before his contract had ended. Can this be viewed as "inducing" to breach a contract?"

Interesting article. As for Everton accepting a big fee for Lescott, the fact remains that Moyes did not want him to leave. The submission of a formal request and his attitude left the club with no alternative. Lescott by saying to Moyes he did not want to play because his head was not into it demonstrated this and the club had no choice. In my book and I said time and again what Hughes and City did was tantamount to tapping up.

In the newspaper articles reference was also made by the way City went about trying to get Delph from Leeds. According to Leeds, City were also trying to lure away 2 other young players at the same time.

Agreed.If the Celsea ban stays then City should also be punished, looks like Manchester United could be the next club to be punished with a transfer ban if they are found guilty of an illegal approach to Le Harve youngster Paul Pogba
