Barcelona receive two window transfer embargo

Skylinehead

Actually, this link says that any decision will be made before the start of the transfer window, so they haven't got away with anything.

Cant wait for city and psg to get there massive 50k fines for breach of FFP too, that will teach em all too.

Anyways, hopefully barca sign luiz to shore up that defence although its more likely they'll just sign another attacker

You appear to have misread that... It says that the case is too complex for it and any appeals to CAS to be settled before the window opens, so they are suspending the decision.

That is, they are suspending it because they cannot resolve it in time for the next window.

the chairman of the FIFA Appeal Committee, Larry Mussenden, took into consideration the sanctions imposed against the club, the complexity of the matter, the start date of the next registration period – 1 July 2014 – and the fact that the FIFA Appeal Committee does not seem in a position to take a decision on the main issue early enough so that an eventual appeal of the club against its decision before the Court of Arbitration for Sport would still be decided before the beginning of the next registration period.

Yeah I completely have.

Umm....look over there! *runs*

Very sensible by Barcelona to be honest. Even if they get longer for a frivolous appeal, at least they have this summer's window to get their **** together.

Barca leave their appeal until the last possible minute so as to force the issue.

Classless club run by classless people.

What club would do it any differently. Barca are no different than any other major European club. Would you have expected Real Madrid, Milan, Bayern or Man United to appeal the decision earlier?

Other clubs don't give lecturers about being "more than a club" or act like a moral authority on all things football.

But do you think other clubs would have handled the appeal differently?

I don't think other clubs would act like they are victims if they are caught breaking rules about signing children.

The good thing is they are out of the running for all competitions at this stage of the season so we don't have to see any celebrations from them or platitudes to them for a year at least. Small mercies!!

Agueroooo

rumours Barca have agreed terms with Hummels.

they are not waiting around.

Turtwig

Hummels, Pique, Bartra but but...that gives them a good back line. That's not Barca!:mad:
Get luiz make it a fest for us neutrals.

Barcelona transfer ban appeal rejected by Court

LuckyLloyd

As expected

GavRedKing

They were lucky to get in suarez, Rakitic, Ter Stegen when they did.

No new signings until January 2016.

I fully expected it to be quashed or reduced to be honest. Proper order anyway.

GavRedKing

I thought theyed get a 1 window ban, meaning theyed miss January 2015 and be back in for the summer 2015.

RasTa

Another appeal?

Jelle1880

Good thing they managed to sign all those players in the meantime.

Hopefully this will prompt the change in board in time for 2016

Jelle1880

They have no other way of appeal.

I mean, they could sue their own FA or whatever but FIFA will slam all of Spanish football for that.

Will I Amnt

With any luck they will appeal, fail and have it doubled. Just take it on the chin and learn from it ffs.

In a sick, perverse way I'm happy. This is surely going to be the final nail in the coffin for a poisonous board, stretching back to Rosell and extending to the unelected Bartomeu. This should signal the end too for the wildly incompetent Zubizarreta. They've disgraced the club for far too long and have gone about systematically destroying the greatest team in history and the history and ideals of the club.

On the bright side, the talk has been for a while that if the ban is upheld, next season we will see Samper, Adama Traore, Delofeu and Denis Suarez on the first team squad. It's a quite beautiful silver lining.
