Re: Football : Season 2009/2010

Why does it suddenly seem to be that all these frogs are suddenly croaking very loudly Anything to do with money, im wonder!

What i find utterly ridiculous is the notion that it is against the "rules" for any player under 16 to sign a formal contract (in France anyway) yet they babble on about a pre-contract agreement saying if the lad does this and that then he`s ours. Is that not some form of contract which is theoretically not allowed!
Are they not breaking there own rules by having these arrangements.

I`m sure we are about to see many more of these cases come out and i feel the whole debacle is getting completely ridiculous.
If there is no written contract signed by both parties (which your not supposed to do before the player is 16 years old) then what is the problem.
The Chelsea case is a differant kettle of fish and they should rightly be punished but for these other cases it just seems like the directors of these clubs see the chance of making some easy money.
What`s next?
