It's the first time I see something like this. How much jurisdiction does FIFA have over UEFA and the PL?

Apparently Roma got hit by a similar ban back in 2005, over the transfer of Philippe Mexes from Auxerre.

You're absolutely right. I didn't know they got transfer banned. I thought they only had been fined heavily, probably because the CAS lifted the ban two months afterwards.

Anyone know on what grounds the CAS lifted the ban?

Could it have been harsher because he was under 18 at the time?

Does anyone else see the irony in the timing of this seeing as it came only a matter of days after Roman appealed to UEFA regarding Citeh's transfer activity?

And when they banned Roma, I'm guessing they were trying to break Serie A's "stronghold"? Please.

I think it's a great idea. Hit 'em where it really hurts!
A mere 20 million fine would be no deterrent.

Of course they won't touch Fergie, uh.

I will try to get the text of the resolution or more hard data, because I see some freedom of trade issues there.

Spot on.

I get all restless when Platini and the other retards running football get all righteous and regulatory with stuff.

They've turned the sport into politics and power struggles, when it's just about 22 basterds running, scoring goals, breaking legs, and entertaining us for a couple of hours every weekend.

Chelsea, and specifically Arnesen have been caught on video tape admitting to tapping up youth players.
