They are, but they aren't written stone. If the fraud is involved a contract should be voided.
Should Mikel's Chelsea contract be voided?
Was there fraud involved in regards to the contract between United and Mikel?
When did Mikel ever approach United?
When United heard of the opportunity of signing Mikel, they did not want to make the first move, due to the Chelsea connection, and told Lyn that they would not make an appraoch before Mikel told them he wanted to come to United.
That's subjective. You don't know what lies and insinuations an 18 year old kid was told by Andersen in terms of his contractual obligations to Lyn,sale to MU and what choice he if any had in the matter.He was manipulated,pure and simple.That doesn't mean he should be unhappy about joining a big club like MU but that's beside the point.
That's all speculation from your part.
They monitored Mikel for a very long time and knew of Chelsea long term involvement with the lad. Andersen knew his trick would fall apart if Mikel tried to contact anybody even his own family so he had to pull the deal off fast and with maximum secrecy. I doubt MU reps have been so naive not to realize
that Chelsea won't just walk away from the starlet they invested in so much and given Andersen's past and the circumstances surrounding the signing they knew they were in the wrong,they just didn't know how badly,otherwise they wouldn't get involved.
I repeat; Chelsea had no rights to the player. Of course United knew of Chelsea's involvement, and all transfers are tried to be done fast and secretly.
I doubt anything will come out of it. You'd have to indict most top clubs in Europe because it's common practice,which is not to say it's right.
Yes, I am sure most clubs do it. But, if this came came to court, it would be Chelsea that would take the brunt of it.
Hearsay,aka bullshit.
Hearsay? It was told by a number of witnesses in court.
Because he's an African kid who just turned 18,living in the foreign country, with his agent being away and unaware of what's going on. Shittu by the way,a scumbag as he probably is,had a family blessing to represent Mikel abroad.
The very same family Mikel had to pay protection for, because he was scared Shittu and people connected to Chelsea would harm them.
Well that's what you believe when it comes what he actually wanted, while what i believe he was manipulated into.
Which really is the crux of the matter - you only see one side of the story. You believe the "hearsay" coming from Mikel and the Chelsea camp, and don't believe the "hearsay" which opposes that view.
True,that's why i mentioned earlier that all the contracts should be voided,transfer fees returned and the player should become a free agent and sign for whichever club he chooses.
Considering the settlement, that won't happen though.
