BottledDog Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Le Havre have now taken the matter to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) and have been rewarded with compensation from both Newcastle and N'Zogbia.

Lowndsy Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 the article on sky sports.. Newcastle have been ordered to pay Le Havre compensation for Charles N'Zogbia. The attacking midfielder joined The Magpies from Le Havre in 2004 but the two clubs have been locked in a dispute ever since. Le Havre claim N'Zogbia had signed an education contract with them as a teenager and was therefore not free to sign for Newcastle. The case went to Fifa's Dispute Resolution Chamber, who ruled that Newcastle could keep the young Frenchman. Le Havre have now taken the matter to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) and have been rewarded with compensation from both Newcastle and N'Zogbia. The player must pay the Ligue 2 club €650,000 (£440,000), while Newcastle must pay €300,000 (£200,000). Le Havre general manager Alain Belsoeur was pleased with the outcome as it helps protect the club's education centre. "Now when there is a violation of a contractual commitment, there will be reparation," he told the French press. "That will force the predators to step back. We will be able to raise our heads high again and go back to our education work." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keefaz Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 What's an education contract? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicky Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Quite shocked that N'Zogbia himself has to pay £400k, while we have to pay just £200k Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 You'd imagine the club will pay N'Zogbia's part of the compensation fee too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSG Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Maybe this is why Willie was with him the other day, not transfer talks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 I'd want the club to pay Zog's share only if he signs a contract extension. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 I am sure we will pay the whole lot like.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 What's the point of having a contract that says he 'wasn't free to sign for Newcastle', if he can sign and just pay a fine? I don't think this will make the 'predators step back' at all, it will just mean more quality youngsters break their contracts and pay off the compensation.

junkhead Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 i'd be surprised if N'Zogbia has £440,000 in the bank.. he may have to get a second job or borrow some off Dyer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Finally he'll be able to play for his nation, the fuckers have been causing problems every time he is about to get a call-up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Immsy7 Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 I don't understand why Zoggy has to pay over twice as much as the club? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 I don't understand why Zoggy has to pay over twice as much as the club? I think their argument would be the coaching, development, education, etc. they spent on N'Zogbia himself didn't cost nothing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 I thought this was decided ages ago. Haven't we already paid money to Le Havre?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gggg Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 I don't understand why Zoggy has to pay over twice as much as the club? It would probably make players think about moving less if they were the ones who had to pay the fine rather than the club just paying it for them.

Mr Logic Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Except the clubs who took them on would agree to pay any future costs like that as part of the deal. So it probably wouldn't make any difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 West Ham and Bolton have both shown interest in a player rated in that bracket this summer, although Sam Allardyce has no intention to cash in on a player he believes can become a genuine Premier League star. That's the only bit I'm interested in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
