Chelsea may still be banned from making signings during appeals process.

I don't have any respect for fifa, although I disrespect them just a little less since the crook was booted out. I don't believe however that fifa are stupid enough, or brave enough if you prefer, to impose a ban before the appeal has been heard.

Given the multiple millions involved, how are fifa going to compensate Chelsea if they have already suffered a banning period, despite the punishment eventually being overturned? Granted, fifa is loaded but the people in charge are also greedy freeloading types who would hate to have to cutback and use mere 5 Star hotels because their organisation had to pay out a shed load of cash to The Blues. Even if the executives are 100% certain that the judgement will stand, I just don't think their lawyers would allow them to take that risk.

I think this was missed by many

it is not good news

Bodström had a reputation as very anti-Russian here too (I forgot to add that)

Have no idea honestly. The interpretation of what they have said can be very different and until FIFA officially announce the definitive decision we can only speculate.

We can still go over FIFA's head to some sports arbitration court, no? Can't trust FIFA to be unbiased in their decision making.

Does the appeal to the Court of Arbitration of Sport or whatever help Chelsea freeze the ban during appeals process?

[El P. 1,354]

I just wonder where this leaves us with Higuain and Kova. I think this stops us from registering NEW players, right? Kovačić and Higuain are already registered, so we just need to prolong their loans or buy them, no?

How did they get into such a mess?!

CLUB STATEMENT...

https://www.chelseafc.com/en/news/2019/03/08/club-statement-

Chelsea Football Club is astonished by the FIFA Appeal Committee’s decision not to suspend its sanction pending completion of the appeal process. 

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.

We will consider our next steps once we have received the written reasons for this decision from FIFA. The Club notes the Appeal Committee’s statement that it has the right to appeal to CAS. In the meantime the Club will continue to fully cooperate with the proceedings.

Absolutely outrageous. Sounds like FIFA is trying to make a statement here. Completely inconsistent with what those other clubs went through.

What would even happen if the club just ignore the ruling and went about business as usual? Not like they'd kick us out of the PL or anything? 

[whats happening 1,612]

so we can still buy players but not register them?

if our board was smart they would buy young players with lots of potential and let them on loan for 1-2 more years.
