FIFA Impose Transfer Ban on Chelsea
By: Taylor Rockwell | September 3rd, 2009I know that you all turn to this blog for incisive commentary and in-depth analysis… Just kidding… You 15 readers come here for sarcasm, statistics, and further sarcasm… So, instead of actually discussing the Chelsea transfer ban that was today put in place, I’ll just send you here, here, or here. Instead, I’m simply going to post photos of Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich looking forlorn. Enjoy!

I’m torn between feeling kind of bad for them and finding this really funny. Especially because the player in question is a nobody.
If this ban stands, which it probably won’t…won’t chelsea’s players all be in wheelchairs and walkers by january 2011?

John Terry’s leadership will see them through this, no doubt.

Who didn’t see that coming. Still…pre-contracts and contracts are different things.

This was really harsh. For some weird reason I suspect this is Platini’s wrath manifested vs Chelski for how they behaved in the Champs League vs his beloved Barcelona.
Yeah, paranoia, sorry.

Please help stop Accrington Stanley from going into administration. They need to raise 308k in 8 weeks. Please donate 1p to the whole 308k at http://www.saveourstanley.co.uk. No-one likes to see a club go under.

TR, you know so little about football that you don’t even realize that your club is next. THAT is what’s truly funny in this situation.

TR, you know so little about football that you don’t even realize that your club is next. You’d much rather give in to childish mockery, too blind or dumb to realize that your team most likely has a much longer and richer history of nefarious transfer dealings. THAT is what’s truly funny in this situation.

Dave, you know what’s funny? You don’t know what you are talking about. The Pogba situation is totally different due to the fact that Pogba was not under a true contract but a “no-hire agreement.” Which, in reality is nothing that will hold up in the CAS.
Chelsea forced Kakuta to break his contract. Clearly a different situation.

i have been crying for such a rule for a long time but to victimize chelsea alone is plain stupid

Chelsea fans complain that referee mistakes cost them a place in the cl final. Some are uttering the words “fix” and “conspiracy”. Chelsea coach Guus Hiddink didn’t agree that it was a fix, but could still “understand” the emotional spillover after the final in London.
What utter nonsense. The victory over two legs by Barcelona was fully deserved and justice was done. This, notwithstanding the mistakes by the referee, now seen as the antichrist by supporters, may have committed. If there was a conspiracy, what was the referee doing sending off Barcelona’s Abidal for a foul he did not commit, with 25 minutes still to go? Was that too, part of some antichelsea master plan engineered out of Geneva by UEFA?
The truth is Chelsea screwed up, by not mustering the courage to attack Barcelona even at home, and keep attacking them after taking a 9 minute 1-0 lead. Even against a weekend Barcelona side, Chelsea never looked like a home team, trying to exploit their home advantage. They played with one striker against a second string Barcelona defense, and even substituted him for a defender on 72 minutes. Is this what some people mean by substance over style? Actually its not substance, but cowardness. The team with the substance and the style was Barcelona, who despite being away from home, despite fielding a weakened side, and despite being down a man for the last 25 minutes, attacked and attacked, with gallantry and astonishing self belief, until their reward came.They deserved everything they got…as do Chelsea. Especially a couple of their petulant players, Drogba and Ballack, whose tantrums inventing their spleen at the referee were about as courageous as their team’s tactics.
