Mutu

[ITFC]

I know that Premier League players are overpaid nancies but £14million is a fair old wedge for anyone to find, including me.

Drugs are bad kids, ok?

Good to have you back.

Is your keyboard broken?

It's especially delightful how you showed all the balls of a depressed eunuch and came nowhere near these boards after your horrific home defeat. If you want to swing it around on here you should try to grow some for when things don't quite go your way.

Anyway, Mutu. Maybe he can borrow some cash off John Arne Riise.

[ITFC]

No where near?

I suggest you find my posts from before Saturday had even finished my dear chap.

Rough with the smooth, thats me.

It's especially delightful how you showed all the balls of a depressed eunuch and came nowhere near these boards after your horrific home defeat. If you want to swing it around on here you should continually post about how you saw it all coming since about 2 years ago and as each goal gets banged in by the opposition post helpful comments such as " Told you so, I'm so right " and "If only the manager had listened to me, after 5 years watching Match of the Day I'm a f*cking expert" and "Look at me! I'm a smug c*nt" when things don't quite go your way.

Anyway I've got to post more shit on Hob Nob whilst The Tax Payer/The Consumer foots the bill.

Ipswich are a bunch of pig fisting simpletons.

Surprised Chelsea bothered to take this to court having wasted money on Veron & Crespo (All that money on spent on their transfers n contracts, to then loan them out for free and continue to pay their wages till their Chelsea contract expired), why chase Mutu?

It's not as if they helped him get clean (unknown if he was an addict) then helped him get back his career.

If Chelsea wanted to amek money off of Mutu the simple solution would be not to kick him out and sell him when his ban was up. Did he get paid between the ban being implemented and him signing for his new team?

Nope, he was sacked once the test was confirmed as positive.

[Silver Fox]

So Chelsea didn't want to pay him while he was banned but did want to benefit from his value when the ban was up? How does that work then?

[daswonder]

They seemed to think they are owed transfer fees since the sacking and the ban period.

Basically I think its a case of they assumed he would end up like Bosnich and that his career would be dead, but as it didnt they some how feeled owed.

[papereyes]

I actually think they have a point but no idea on the legality of it.

[Silver Fox]

I could see their point if they'd paid up his contract thinking he'd never play again but surely once they bin him he can do whatever the hell he wants.

It depends on what grounds they binned him.

If his behaviour contravened terms of his contract (likely? I dunno), then he'd have been liaible for compensation anyway.

BBC states

Fifa has ordered former Chelsea striker Adrian Mutu to pay the club £13.68m in damages for breach of contract after he tested positive for cocaine.

[Baines]

I could see their point if they'd paid up his contract thinking he'd never play again but surely once they bin him he can do whatever the hell he wants.

I think that the point was that his breach of his contract led to Chelsea reasonably cancelling the contract and Chelsea losing out on his value as an asset. And FIFA assessed that value at the level publicised.

EDIT:

The world game's governing body calculated the compensation according to the value of the remaining period on a contract that was cancelled by Chelsea in October 2004, after he tested positive for cocaine.

So basically they wanted their cake and indeed they wanted to eat it.

Not really. Just the normal rules for contracts being applied to football (which is probably why it seems unusual)?

[TomTheRoyal]

I think Chelsea, for once, hold the moral and legal high ground on this one, and i sincerely hope he is made to pay up.

'greed

Because its Chelsea, a lot of people have blinkers on and all they're seeing is 'greedy chelsea'
Regardless of what club it is and how much money they have, he breached his contract, was rightly sacked and now is getting deservedly punished
