I think we'd have that law anyway, and would you really want to stay in your job until your contract ends?!

Yeah, if we did that then perhaps rather than having a penalty shoot out in cup games we could have the two team captains having a duel. Imagine that, Vieria and Keane deciding the FA cup with a sword fight!! |

That still doesn't make it right. Also as Rich said, under employment law, Chelsea haven't done anything wrong either. |

Saying that every other club would do the same as spurs does not make it right. If every club had chelsea's money then they would probably try and get the best people, and might have to resort a bit of tapping up. It would still be breaking the rules though. |

I was merely agreeing with Robben's comments.
The point is, yes rules are rules, but I think if it ever went to court (which it could quite easily) that the FA would be over-ruled as it goes against EU employment law.

What is wrong with spurs trying to use this situation to there advantage. Im sure every over club would do the same if they had the chance.
If we manage to get a good couple of players of the back of this then i for one would be very happy with it.
Chelsea seem to think now they have money they dont have to play by the rules and they do need to be taught a lesson! The FA should deduct points and make them an example to other clubs

Strictly speaking, they are not in the Champions League.
They have an opportunity to play in the Champions league by playing in qualifying matches.
The only British teams which are in the Champions League, are Chelsea and Arsenal. The rest have to qualify. |

Robbie, as it stands, TNS are in the champions league. By your logic that menas that not only are they better than City, they're better than Liverpool too!! |

I know technically that Chelsea have broken the rules again but I think the rules are rubbish in this case. It's arguable that you shouldn't be able to approach players because they have a market value which can be affected if they only want to go to one club. But for Directors I don't see why real world rules don't apply. People get headhunted all the time to go to better jobs at better companies, I don't see how this is any different. There wouldn't have been any sort of transfer fee for Arnesen so what is the issue?
Tottenham are not now, never have been and never will be a 'top
Premiership team'.

Chelsea need to be taught a lesson which means docking points as it is obvious that money is no problem to Chelsea.
Some of your comments about the champions league (European cup) are comical.
The start Champions league still contains the best sides in Europe, and it isn't until the quarter finals that it becomes a knockout competition, which means that luck plays a bigger part in games.
So from the comments so far, the general consensus is that...
Liverpool are the champions of a Micky Mouse trophy.
Everton were so desperate to be part of the Micky Mouse league.
TNS are better than Bristol City.

Okay so the approach was slightly dodgy, but i still feel that Spurs are using this to their own advantage. If they wanted to keep Arnesen they would not have suspended him. Instead, they realised they can't keep him so have complained to the press about an illegal approach. Rather than look for Justice to be done, in terms of Chelsea being docked points, or fined etc, Spurs are looking to swap Arnesen for players!! In my opinion, that is worse than any alleged taaping up!

All they were doing is giving the poor bloke a chance to get away from Tottenham, and for this act of huminatarian kindness they are now in trouble.
As for the Champions League, I think its value was shown last year when a great team like Porto won it. TNS of Wales are probably being a bit hasty trying to chuck away their place, the way the competitions going they might be in with a chance of winning it.
