But why the hell would we risk 1+ year ban over some 16 year old nobodies? Is our board realy so retarded? What are the odds that 16yo will develop in big star and replace all possible signings we might make during ban? Nevermind a 16yo in Chelsea of all teams? We are so awful in development, yet some smart fuck in the board think its cool to buy these players (first Kakuta, then Traore) and put everything else to risk? And not only we do it once, but twice? Yes we might not be proven guilty in the end, but there is no smoke without fire and whole thing just stinks. This post comes dangerously close to judging the issue before any facts are available. Of course the officials would not intentionally break the rules because they are not going to be any worse at working out the odds than you or me. In fact since they have way better information than we do, it's inevitable that they are better at it than we fans. I know it suits egos to imagine we know stuff which shows that we are cleverer than the club but that's just fantasy. When the dust has fully settled on this, and that will not necessarily be after the initial verdict, will be plenty of time to reach an informed opinion on this matter. Meantime you're just venting based on nothing substantial. Ryan Fong, bigbluewillie and Vesper 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petre.ispirescu 4,928 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 What difference does it make??? We've not had a proper transfer window since 14/15, what makes you think we'd have been in for top players suddenly? There is rumours of Sarri going to Roma - clearly with this ban he cannot build his own squad here. Think he'll leave by himself, rather than get the sack. Bring Frank it then, give him a three year project and let him rebuild around CHO, Mount, Sterling and all the other talented CFC youth.

Unionjack 7,531 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 We will obviously appeal which will take awhile so probably get a stay of the next window. And get a window knocked off the ban But it will give a lot on here a great time. Let them moan like fuck till their hearts content! Let peeps see what its really like to suffer. I kinda hope we do get down to the bottom half on the league. See the plastic just dripping off some peeps! Strike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xPetrCechx 13,573 Posted February 22, 2019 Author Share Posted February 22, 2019 Chelsea have been braced for this. They can appeal to FIFA & to CAS if necessary & even if they fail to get the punishment reduced/overturned, the timeframe of the process should grant them this summer to do any essential business #cfc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post! Superblue 6,372 Posted February 22, 2019 Popular Post! Share Posted February 22, 2019 It's far from ideal but it might be just what this club needs. There are many examples where the club has acted above the rules and given this impression they are 'all powerful'. It's about time people take accountability and a bit of humility over this situation. Take stock of the current situation of the club and start formulating a longer term plan and vision for rebuilding a club which is falling behind its rivals. The club must be bold here, not panic and start holding on to Sarri and players who are undeserving of staying. We can still start a rebuilding process with trusting some of the young players. Hudson Odoi, Loftus Cheek and Christensen should be given first choice roles moving forward and given the chance to form part of a new spine at the club. We have at last 3 or 4 players out on loan who could come back and refresh the squad and replace some of the dead weight, and Ampadu should also be given a more rotational role from next year. A season giving some of these players chances will allow us to truly evaluate them and give us a base from which to work from when we can buy players again. If that means another season without Champions League football so be it, the money element won't be a huge issue when we can't buy anyone for a year. We do though need the board to be willing to take this bold decision and similarly a manager willing to implement it. !Hazard!, Ayioros, Johnnyeye and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,141 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 This has been coming, the club won't admit it but it's reality now. Now, if it plays out and we cannot buy anyone for two windows then it's dead simple. We play and introduce these young up and coming top players. It should not of come to this for this to happen, it really shouldn't of. Things are not done right at the top of this football club and this is where it comes from. Right now this club is utterly shambolic. Johnnyeye and Bosnian Blue 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
