Chelsea delay applying to CAS to freeze two-window transfer ban

So Simon is saying we've appealed and will hear the results shortly before the final, whereas the article is stating we haven't even approached CAS yet. 

Terrific.

I can only assume that they have been advised that it's unlikely they'll get the ban either deferred or cancelled altogether by their lawyers.

The additional worry is that the ban is increased further. I wouldn't put it past something like this happening, controversy follows this club.

 

We only had to notify CAS of our intention to appeal.  Which we have done, as the club itself confirmed we would on its website. IF we wanted a bit of advice on the likely outcome, we'd have done that before publicly announcing we were going to CAS.  Could simply be that the paperwork and case is still being combed over by our lawyers.  

 

The appeal wouldn't have gone in same day as the statement.

It's simple. If we voluntarily start serving this ban right away as is being suggested as a possibility, we are going to have a disastrous season.

We'll be lucky to finish 6th, we'll probably go out in the group stages of the CL, and Sarri will be lucky to make it to Christmas. There is absolutely no way we can enter and go through another PL season with Higuain and Giroud as our strikers, Kovacic and Barkley as our only two fit #8's, and no reinforcements elsewhere. And on top of that we'll be selling our best player.

We thought the environment at games was toxic at times in the past few years, I think it'll be much worse if we roll over and essentially give up on the season before it even starts. We're already miles off where we want to be. If we can't sign players this summer we'll fall light years behind.

The club has to go huge this summer in order to weather the ban afterwards. Do all we can to build a squad strong enough to not need transfers for a while.

The board think Abraham is the next Aubameyang and Mount is a Lampard clone. 

What a mess.

 Think its smart to just write off next season and start afresh the following season.

As if it's that simple. The atmosphere at the bridge will be devestating and Sarri will be chewed out.

Problem of delaying the ban is we suffer 2 seasons instead of just the 1. Take your punishment and move on

If we buy well enough and use a couple of loanees like Mount and Reece James we can easily weather a 2 window ban. Spuds didn't buy anyone last summer and are the the CL final.

Exactly my point, we would have been fine if CHO and Ruben didnt get injured. Its those injuries that will affect us the most, however if Ruben and CHO can come back for te 2nd half of the season we should be able to handle the league and qualify for Top 4. We actually dominated most of our games this season and I really believe if Sarri has pre season players will adapt more to his system. Sarri made an average Napoli team better (after Higuain left) and I think he can do that too for us.

Is this confirmed? No appeal means no freeze means no signings

The club literally confirmed that they will appeal to CAS on their official website. People seriously like to jump the gun through the bullshit on media. I thought people would have grown accustomed to it. Apparently not though.
