Allegedly

If they have been knowingly breaking transfer rules for years then rightly so, they get all they deserve

This. It must have been done knowingly for so many to have been signed in alleged breach of the rules.

If that's the case, not good for Chelsea. However, did chuckle at the mention of Fifa's 'integrity and compliance' unit, as the thought of FIFA (or UEFA) actually having any integrity in anything that they do is laughable.

Interesting to compare the content of the headline and the first paragraph with the penultimate paragraph...

I know Paul, hence the need to point it out.

Would imagine that most, if not all clubs from under 6’s kids football to premier league have done everthing from bent the rules to cheated. The problem for me is when clubs are “found out”. The punishments never reflect the crimes. Hence there is no deterent. From a professional club point of view, there are trophies at stake. I can understand that but dont agree with it. But from a kids football point of view. Some of the cheating and poaching of players was just pathetic. Chelsea allegadly got caught. Hundreds of others haven’t, yet. Inc City. 😳

Tashy me man, City were banned in 2017 for tapping up youth players, Everton were banned a few weeks back and Lpool have been banned in the past.

The very definition of irony, surely?

I'm having an old git moment. Remember when the kids that clubs signed were local? Not from Argentina or Nigeria. Not from Exeter if you were a club from the NW. All local, within half an hour from the ground.........not all change is good

Just read me post and i never finished it right. City have been caught flouting the rules and the punishment was a slap on the wrist. Its ok banning a club for two years from signing kids bur it is hardly going to affect the first team.
