Unlikely to get any fee at all if he hasn't played in 10% of their games by the end of the season...

The Lazio case isn't really relevant. Tevez evidently froze himself out of the squad whereas with the Lazio case the president ordered he not be selected.

Lille midfielder Eden Hazard has told Belgian television he could join Tottenham Hotspur this summer.

Hazard, 21, is one of Europe's most sought-after talents and is reported to have attracted the interest of clubs including Real Madrid and Arsenal.

"Maybe it will be Tottenham. It is a great English club," he told RTBF.

"I said that I would go to England and there is very good players [at Spurs]. I have not yet signed, this is going to happen soon," he added

Rangers Football Club has entered administration - meaning the club will be docked an immediate 10 points in the Scottish Premier League.

It follows a unsuccessful legal bid by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) at the Court of Session in Edinburgh to appoint its own administrator.

London-based firm Duff and Phelps was officially appointed at 14:50.

It will now take over the day-to-day running of Rangers while addressing the club's massive debt problems.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger hopes midfielder Jack Wilshere will be back in action within a month.

The 20-year-old had surgery on an ankle injury in September before suffering a stress fracture in his right foot during his recovery.

Wenger said: "Jack can be back within a month if all goes well."

However he expects to be without Per Mertesacker for a month after the German defender was carried off against Sunderland with an ankle injury.

Wilshere has not played this season after picking up the original injury, later diagnosed as a stress fracture to his right ankle, in a pre-season friendly against New York Red Bulls on 31 July.

Wenger is keen to take a more careful approach to the England midfielder's return after Wilshere picked up his latest injury while undergoing his rehabilitation

Didn't Mancini say in public he'd never play for them again, bet Pandev's case is very relevant in City's minds as the end of the season draws to a close as a rule was institued after that case saying players could leave on a free if they didn't play 10% of games IIRC.

Pendev made a request to be transfered which, for some reason, enraged the President of Lazio who then ordered he not play or train with the first team.

I don't think a rule was added. That contract was nulled by a court ruling. It's very difficult to see a rule that allows you to leave for free if you play less than 10%, reverse team players and injured ones could be off quite easily...

A couple of Europa Cup games on earlier, why is it that the English clubs play on Thursdays?

Re: Football Season 2011/12

I think its because English club players in the Europa league need there rest.

But there again at Â£90.000 per week they get tired counting there money, it takes a few days.:D

Tottenham midfielder Tom Huddlestone has revealed he will have further surgery on his ankle injury and miss the rest of the season as a result.

"Thanks for messages! My season is over before it's even started. Operation Friday." said Huddlestone on Twitter.

"My main objective is to make sure I'm 100% for pre-season."

The 25-year-old has made just four appearances for the club this season because of the injury and first had surgery late last year.

Tottenham now say he requires further surgery to complete his recovery from the ligament damage.

The trouble is apart from RVP the rest are players who can't hack it at the highest level and cannot defend either as well.
