On the occasion of its last meeting held on 27 August 2009, the Dispute Resolution Chamber (DRC) was called to pass a decision in a contractual dispute opposing the French club Lens to the French player Gael Kakuta and the English club Chelsea.

 

The French club had lodged a claim with FIFA seeking compensation for breach of contract from the player and requesting also sporting sanctions to be imposed on the player and the English club for breach of contract and inducement to breach of contract respectively.

 

The DRC found that the player had indeed breached a contract signed with the French club. Equally, the DRC deemed it to be established that the English club induced the player to such a breach.

 

As a result the player was condemned to pay compensation in the amount of EUR 780,000, for which the club, Chelsea, are jointly and severally liable, and sporting sanctions were imposed on both the player and Chelsea in accordance with art. 17 par. 3 and 4 of the Regulations on the Status and Transfer of Players.

 

A restriction of four months on his eligibility to play in official matches has been imposed on Kakuta. Chelsea are banned from registering any new players, either nationally or internationally, for the two next entire and consecutive registration periods following the notification of the present decision. Furthermore, the club, Chelsea, have to pay Lens training compensation in the amount of EUR 130,000.

I'm not surprised. FIFA have been looking to make an example of a big club on the issue of signing young players from other countries. Blatter has mentioned this issue on a number of occasions

That's a bummer for the chavs with the African nations in January they were sure to buy someone big - especially as they didnt spend any money in the summer. How bloody funny. We all know they will get off on appeal though.

Yeah i imagine it will be reduced. And they can still loan players in January

 

How can they loan players? They still have to be registered with the national or international federation.

I think this has happened before hasn't it?

Juve i think it was who were told they couldn't buy anyone so had to get people in on loan

 

I may be wrong

This could be FIFA/UEFA's way of getting tough on English clubs in an effort to level the CL playing field a bit.....a sort of back-door attempt at it.

Ho ho ho.

 

Mancs next - though knowing the way things work in this world, we'll probably get banned for signing anyone for 10 years*

*Which is handy, actually.

 

As long as we're banned from selling as well then it'll work out great.
