craig 5,199 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 This is an unbelievable sum of money for Chelsea to be awarded. 13.68 million. WOW. I wonder how they came up with the 13.68 million ? Because Chelsea had to replace him ? Was that his transfer fee to Chelsea ? http://www.sportinglife.com/football/news/story_get.cgi?STORY_NAME=soccer/08/08/18/SOCCER_Mutu.html Fiorentina star Adrian Mutu has vowed to appeal against the �£13.68million fine he has been ordered to pay former club Chelsea, slamming FIFA's ruling as "unjust" and "inhumane". FIFA's dispute resolution chamber ruled that Mutu must make the compensation payment after testing positive for cocaine while at Stamford Bridge in 2004. The Romania striker was sacked by Chelsea following his failed test but has since rebuilt his career in Italy and he has vowed to fight the ruling. "This is an unjust and inhumane sentence," he told reporters, as he confirmed that his lawyers were studying the case. "We are going to appeal. "This sanction is not right, because I don't think I have committed a crime that merits such an amount." World players' union FIFPro have pledged their support to Mutu as have the Romanian Footballers' Trade Union (AFAN). Mutu and his lawyers are expected to present an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport in the next few days, although reports suggest a decision by them will not be made before next year. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

juffery 0 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Obviously I could be wrong here, but if he had any sensehe would have ensured something in his contract with Juve that they would take care of at least a significant percentage of any compensation. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 743 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Whilst I think there isnt enough footballers getting sacked its a horrendous amount of money. Not sure why Chelsea are getting this amount when it was their decision to sack him. Footballers shouldnt be excempt to being sacked until they just do something illegal. The likes of Joey Barton is another who should have been sacked, in fact Id fire Charlie Adam if i was Gers boss. Its just a sad industry that relys on the money side and sacking a player is writing off a big asset despite them being liabilities at the same time. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
