We must be a f***ing nightmare to negotiate with  :lol:

 

Not really. They just call the deals off most of the time. Probably very little conversation at all.

 

Just Kinnear heavy breathing down the phone and then shouting a number and hanging up.

Aulas is, by all accounts, an astronomical bellend mind.

 

He's meeting his match in Gomis then. :lol:

 

His hands are tied. He needs the money, Gomis is selective and on his last year. It's only a matter of time.

 

Yep.

 

Would have to agree, looks like it will eventually happen. Just the usually (French vs Ashley regime) bollocks.

Can't he now buy out his contract with Lyon? He's 4 years in and he's 27.

 

That is a tricky rule by itself. We tried to make use of that particular rule to get Jonas and yet had to pay significant compensation in the end. I don't think any club or player has seriously tried to test the limits of the ruling so far.

 

 

 

Edit: Matuzalem's is probably the highest profile 'Webster ruling' case so far.

 

Real Zaragoza and breach of contract saga

 

On 2 July 2007, Matuzalém notified in writing Shakhtar of the fact that he unilaterally terminated their contractual relationship with immediate effect. On 5 July, Shakhtar replied Matuzalém and/or his new club should pay the sum in the release clause of €25M, or Shakhtar would start legal action.[6]

 

However, on 18 July, he was presented as the latest signing of Real Zaragoza.[7] And Shakhtar informed Zaragoza to request the club to pay the fee.[6] After played four games and scoring once, Matuzalém was reported injured since September 2007[8] and returned in March 2008. He finished the season with just 14 appearances.

 

Matuzalém's case was considered by FIFA Dispute Resolution Chamber (DRC) on 2 November 2007, ordered Matuzalém and Zaragoza jointly and severally liable to pay €6,800,000 to Shakhtar.[6][9]

 

On 19 March 2008, Shakhtar appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) as the club think the fee set by FIFA DRC is too low. On 20 March Matuzalém and Zaragoza also made an appeal to CAS for the compensation. On 19 May 2009 the CAS ordered Matuzalém to pay €11,858,934 to Shakhtar for breach of contract.[10][11] The decision was upheld by the Swiss Federal Tribunal.[12] Zaragoza paid €500,000 to Shakhtar on 1 September 2010.[13]

 

Neither Matuzalém or Zaragosa were able to pay the ordered compensation. For this reason further sanctions, including banning Matuzalém from all football-related activities, where imposed by FIFA on 31 August 2010. This FIFA decision was appealed to the CAS. The appeal was rejected on 29 June 2011. The CAS decision was appealed to the Swiss Federal Tribunal. In its decision rendered on 27 March 2012 the Swiss Federal Tribunal annulled the CAS decision, as they found the ban on Matuzalém "a severe infringement of [his] right to privacy". The tribunal also questioned whether the sanction was likely to lead to the payment of the compensation, which was the stated purpose of the ban. The compensation to be paid to Shakhtar was not affected by this case. This remains the only case where a CAS decision has been overturned based on the merits of the case.[13]

That's about £60K per week isn't it?

 

Just realised you'd already clarified that.

He's gone AWOL.

 

I'm betting this guy shows up in Newcastle in the next 24 hrs. Ben Arfa style.

 

 

 

Where did you get that from?
