Well for a start, they develop at other clubs and increase their market value then sell on for serious dollar. You mean to tell me that you haven't noticed that Chelsea have been doing this for years?? They always have 30-40 players out on loan.
Chelsea given two-window transfer ban | Free to sign players in January
- Thread starter Zebs
- Start date
I know they've been doing this but it's a bit bizarre. And lots of players' careers get ruined that way.
Who? They all choose to sign and become millionaires. Such a tragedy.
This is true, but has your recruitment ever been this bad?
There isn’t the likes of Terry, Lampard, Drogba and Cech to prevent a slide. There isn’t the likes of Matic and Fabregas either. Even a Ramires, who would stand up and be counted. I look at your squad - which isn’t ‘bad’ by any means - and it’s all just a bit... flakey.
If Hazard leaves then your (almost) guaranteed performer is away, too.
It's not bizarre if it makes the club a lot of money.
It makes the players a lot of money as well. Everyone who has signed for Chelsea in the past (at least) 5 years knows exactly what they are signing up for.
in the modern era, we are a big club. Todays players dont think "i want to join liverpool because they won loads in the 70s" Most of the players around today have grown up seeing mainly Chelsea, Utd and now Man City winning things. Its totally correct, players around now dont think we are a small club. When Liverpool dominated through the 70s and 80s they were bankrolled by the owners of Littlewoods, The Moore family. Lets not pretend your dominance back then was completely self made. You were kind of the man city and chelsea of the 70s and 80s. I love how many of your fans forget that. Liverpool are a massive club, but since the premier league's inception we are a far more successful club. Bankrolled by money which is almost a necessity nowadays.
The ban will get appealed (we have confirmed this), it'll go to the CAS. Which by the way; won't put up with frivolous appeals, so we must be sure our evidence is water tight/strong. The club wouldn't go to the CAS if they weren't confident otherwise the ban would get extended, quite possibly
Once appeal goes in, ban is suspended, we will go mad in the summer window, and i think we will have to sign top top players. Plus there is some talent out on loan who can come into the squad.

It's every single year. It's up there with "theyre fecked when roman leaves" thats been said since day 1.
but they've appealed and are free to do business in the meantime
Good
as I said, it will be interesting to see how they get round that too... and just because the Mail has a story doesn't make it fact
Of course and they also do not report it as fact by the way.
No chance we were ever spending 200m in the summer. Club is being run as a business these days and already spent that in last two windows. Looks to me like we planned for the ban already with Pulisic.
One can hope
It will get suspended/lifted. I'll bet my house on it
Chelsea appeal
officially appealed.
Get ready to lose your house
wont happen. I didnt bet my house on us winning the appeal mind you, i bet it that we would get the ban lifted to enable us to buy this summer. I just cannot see how they can allow other teams to have it suspended, but not allow us. There would be no excuse for itGet ready to lose your house
If Roman's cheque doesn't arrive on time or isn't a satisfactory amount then the ban will be upheld.
It's not like they signed less then 10 illegal players like Barcelona or A.Madrid. They broke the rule 28 times
Ban us. Make it retrospective and give us a refund on Pulisic as well.
but it still wont affect the ban itself being lifted whilst under appeal. When you appeal something, the judgement is not final. Your point is more related to the appeal winning or not.It's not like they signed less then 10 illegal players like Barcelona or A.Madrid. They broke the rule 28 times
We'll see about the appeal and if we can buy in the summer.
I don't see it as a big issue anyway, we have enough choice of players in the squad, youth setup and on loan, and Pulisic coming as well.
If Sarri is going to make it, and who we could replace with, if needed, looks far more pressing.

Will appeal. Will sign players in the summer. Ban will apply for a single winter window.
That's generally how things are with these bans.

Transfer ban not suspended during appeal
Chelsea's appeal to have the transfer ban suspended until the hearing has been denied. I'd like to see the precedent for this when you consider the in the past Spanish clubs have been afforded the privilege of signing players prior to the hearing.

Same thing happened with those. FIFA denied them the chance of having transfer ban suspended, the clubs then went to CAS who allowed them to register players. Chelsea will be going through same steps so no changes there.
I see. Cheers!
Indeed, depends what CAS says
Thats what I thought but are the BBC then miss reporting?

If they are stopped from signing players, they're fecked.

They need to enforce this now and suspend transfer activities if the clubs are under investigation, feck innocent until proven guilty if they feel they have sufficient grounds!
While it would be really unfair that Barca and Real got away with it and Chelsea don't they need to set a precedent here going forward.

Can happen but unlikely. I'm certain I remember the CAS being involved in allowing those clubs to sign players while the appeals were ongoing though.

Let's just hope the ban kicks in this summer. Otherwise we might face further competition for the players we're in for.
Once they stay away from Sancho and de Ligt I don't care what the outcome is

it will get lifted. If not FIFA, CAS will. It's inevitable.
"The club acted in accordance with the relevant regulations and has already notified FIFA of its intention to appeal against the Disciplinary Committee’s decision and sanction. As a matter of procedural fairness and equality of treatment, and Swiss law, the Club’s right to an appeal process must be afforded, before any irremediable sanction takes effect.
So far as the Club is aware, in all previous cases where a registration ban has been imposed by FIFA, a decision has also been made to suspend the sanction until the appeal process has been completed. In this case, Chelsea considers that it is being treated inconsistently in comparison with other European clubs." CAS are lifing that, how can they possibly not?
The bolded part is literally the money shot.
Some people claim FIFA have broken the Swiss Law. They've set a precedent by allowing Madrid and Barca to register whilst an appeal is heard, any attempt to suddenly change the rules because it isn't one of their "golden boys" will get thrown out.
IIRC i think it was CAS which lifted Atletico's ban
