Anche il Man U, secondo alcuni tabloids tra cui il “Belfast Telegraph”, rischierebbe di non potere effettuare acquisti di mercato per un determinato periodo come sanzione per avere tentato di ingaggiare giovani promesse in violazione delle norme vigenti. Il Chelsea, nella giornata di ieri, è stato colpito dal blocco di nuovi tesseramenti fino al gennaio 2011, decisione della FIFA che il club londinese ha deciso di appellare. Il club di Abramovich spera, altresì, che , nelle more dell’ annunciato ricorso, la sanzione possa avere decorrenza differita alla prossima estate, lasciando mani libere alla dirigenza nel mercato del prossimo inverno.Intanto continuano i guai giudiziari per molte tifoserie, soprattutto dopo che gli episodi di West Ham-Millwall di “Carling Cup” hanno riportato sotto i riflettori il problema irrisolto della violenza in occasione degli incontri di calcio. Undici tifosi sono stati arrestati in seguito agli incidenti occorsi, il mese scorso, nel transito alla stazione di Newcastle di un gruppo di sostenitori del Sunderland. Parecchi tifosi e diversi agenti rimasero feriti nel tentativo di venire a contatto fra esponenti delle “firms” dei bianconeri e dei “Black Cats”. Anche alcuni tifosi del Nottingham Forest ( fans in foto ) dovranno rispondere degli incidenti occorsi in occasione della gara con i Wolves del marzo scorso.Sono scese in campo le nazionali “under 21” di Inghilterra e Galles; la prima si è imposta in Macedonia mentre la seconda ha superato di misura, a Swansea, gli “azzurrini” di Casiraghi.

 

Chelsea transfer ban could hit Manchester United

Friday, 4 September 2009

Manchester United were last night facing the threat of a ban on signing players, just hours after Premier League rivals Chelsea were hit with sanctions barring transfers until 2011.FIFA slapped an embargo on the Blues that prevents them from buying or selling players during the next two transfer windows because of their conduct over the transfer of Kakuta, 18, from French club Lens.And United’s pursuit of a player from another French club could see the Old Trafford club hit with the same punishment.Le Harve claim that Paul Pogba signed a pre-contract agreement November 2006 that committed him to a professional contract from his 16th birthday four months later, only for him to sign for United.United have strenuously denied that they have broken any rules.FIFA have so far failed to register Pogba’s arrival at Old Trafford, although United insist they have done nothing wrong.”It is complete nonsense,” a spokesman for United said. “Everything has been done within UEFA guidelines..However, Le Havre managing director Alain Belsoeur claims to have documentation showing United offered inducements for Pogba to join them and has vowed to include it in submissions to the world’s governing body.”We are still pursuing our case,” Belsoeur told The Times. “It is a very serious case. We are confident that we’ll win because it is in the best interests not just of our club but of sport.“We spend five million euros [about £4.3million] on our academy every year out of a turnover of 12 million. euros. It is a huge investment.”We do that to give a chance to our players to develop for our first team, not to be an academy for others.”What is the point of investing in an academy if the players leave at 16? This is clearly a message from FIFA to protect the education system.”

 

Chelsea could be allowed to sign new players in the January 2010 transfer window despite a Fifa ban.

Football’s governing body handed out a ban until 2011 after they found the Blues guilty of inducing Gael Kakuta to break his contract with Lens in 2007.But Chelsea could get a reprieve if they delay lodging any appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas).Cas has indicated that if Chelsea take the full 21 days to appeal, their ban may be frozen while a decision is made.”It depends on the filing date of the appeal,” Cas secretary general Matthieu Reeb told BBC Sport.”If we have an appeal within the next week, it seems realistic we will have a hearing in November and a decision in December.”If it goes a little longer, we’d have to wait until next year but then we’d have a problem with the January transfer period.”So there is a possibility of Chelsea requesting a stay of the Fifa decision so it is frozen until the final decision of Cas is rendered.”This means the enforcement of the Fifa decision would not be immediate. It could be postponed and then if the sanction was finally confirmed by Cas, the suspension would be postponed to the next transfer window.”As it stands, Chelsea are barred from registering any new players, nationally, or internationally, during the January or summer 2010 transfer windows.

The Blues have already confirmed that they will launch the “strongest possible appeal” and they have 21 days to do so from when they receive Fifa’s full decision.The Cas decision can be appealed only before the Swiss Supreme Court.

More arrests over Central Station stand-off
Evening Chronical
03 September 2009
by Adam Jupp

ELEVEN more suspects have been arrested over the Central Station soccer dust-up.

And detectives also want to trace these men in connection with the ugly scenes that flared at Newcastle Central Station on August 8.A train-full of Sunderland fans were travelling home from a pre-season friendly in Edinburgh when they clashed with officers on the platform.Police had learned part of the group had arranged to do battle with a Newcastle United-affiliated hooligan firm.The Magpies mob had assembled in a nearby subway and were prevented from meeting up with their Black Cats counterparts.But that didn’t stop violence erupting between supporters and officers and during the melee four police dogs were attacked, while three men were hospitalised with head injuries.Men the police are still trying to trace in connection with the disorder at Newcastle Central Station on August 8Since then detectives have been studying hours of CCTV footage and last week arrested 16 men in a series of strikes, including one picked up in Nottingham.All have been bailed pending further inquiries but officers have now moved to arrest 11 more.Chief Supt Neil Mackay, head of Northumbria Police’s Operations Department, said: “A criminal investigation is under way to identify the main offenders from both the Newcastle and Sunderland groups and ensure action is taken against them.“We’ve already identified a number of people involved in the disorder and are studying CCTV footage, video footage and speaking to witnesses so we can trace all those involved.“Inquiries are continuing into the incident and images of a further six men the police wish to trace have been released.“This continued action shows we are determined the small minority of people who spoil football for the genuine fans will be dealt with appropriately.”The station stand-off caused controversy, with Sunderland fans and the Football Supporters Federation (FSF) claiming police had been heavy-handed.Footage posted on the internet showed one man unconscious on the platform, lying in a pool of blood.The matter was initially referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC).But days later, it cleared Northumbria Police of any wrongdoing.That decision was met angrily by the FSF, which said it had alternative evidence.Footage was gathered by police of both sets of fans.The Newcastle group were seen in the underpass, some with weapons including a retractable baton. Part-way through the clip, the screen is clouded by smoke apparently coming from a grenade.New stills have been released of men officers want to speak to in connection with the disorder and are featured above.

 

MPS investigates disorder at London football clash
Police Professional
03 September 2009

The Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) is seeking to obtain football-banning orders (FBOs) against those involved in the serious disorder that took place at Upton Park during the West Ham v Millwall Carling Cup tie on August 25.Fights broke out near the stadium before the match and continued five hours later, with West Ham fans invading the pitch three times.Fourteen arrests were made for offences ranging from public disorder, breaching FBOs and invading the pitch. Nine people are being charged and the MPS is seeking FBOs against each of them.Police were also called to the aid of a man who was stabbed near the stadium shortly after the match ended. He has since been released from hospital.Investigations are continuing and CCTV footage is being analysed.Chief Superintendent Steve Wisbey, in charge of policing the match, said: “Police worked closely with West Ham Football Club, British Transport Police and the local authority to minimise disorder. Officers responded swiftly while missiles were being thrown as they tried to separate fans outside the ground after the match.“Incidents of this nature at a match are thankfully rare, but it would appear that a small number of supporters were intent on causing a confrontation.“We are committed to providing a safe and trouble-free environment for fans who attend matches to support their teams. A team of dedicated police officers will be reviewing all the events that took place and will be looking at CCTV both inside and outside the ground to identify evidence of offences and offenders.“We will proactively seek to obtain football-banning orders for those responsible so they will not be permitted in stadiums throughout the country or abroad.”Despite criticism of the MPS’ preparations for the match, the force said there was no specific intelligence regarding a possible pitch invasion and that officers were deployed inside the stadium as a matter of course.“We are satisfied that based on the intelligence received before the match, our policing plan was proportionate and well-considered.“We are satisfied that when the disorder did take place, we responded in a proportionate, robust and effective manner using specialist public order-trained officers.”Around 200 riot police and at least 20 mounted officers were at the scene. Many were pelted with missiles but none were injured, a spokeswoman said.Assistant Chief Constable Andy Holt of South Yorkshire Police, and Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) lead on football policing, called the events “shocking” and said they were “an unwelcome reminder of violence that was once commonplace at grounds up and down the country”.He added: “Every weekend, millions of people attend games and enjoy football without incident. But football hooliganism is still a lingering menace, albeit among a small minority of supporters, and we will not tolerate it.“Over the past 20 years the UK has made steady progress in eradicating the behaviour of those intent on engaging in football-related violence and disorder. Less than ten per cent of those who are issued with banning orders re-offend, so this legislation is proven and effective and the service will continue to work with clubs and the Football Association (FA) to ensure it is used effectively. All genuine football fans will be concerned at last night’s scenes and the police service is determined to ensure that such events remain the exception to the positive experience enjoyed by the vast majority who follow football through a love of the game.”It was the first time the rival London sides had met since April 2005. West Ham won the game 3-1 after extra time.In a statement, West Ham United FC said: “West Ham United will fully investigate the deplorable scenes that took place during the Carling Cup tie with Millwall. The club will not tolerate the unacceptable behaviour witnessed inside the Boleyn Ground and will take the strongest possible action against anyone found responsible, including life bans. As was the case before, during and after the match, we are cooperating fully with the relevant agencies, including the police.”

This is Nottingham
03 September 2009

POLICE have charged six men for their involvement in disorder before a Nottingham Forest match earlier this year.

Officers from Notts Police’s Territorial Support Group arrested nine Forest fans between Friday, July 17 and Monday, July 20, following a disorder in Nottingham on March 21.The disturbance occurred between Nottingham Forest and Wolverhampton Wanderers supporters outside the Premier Inn Hotel in London Road before the teams played in a match at the City Ground.Thomas Amatt, 20, and 18-year-old Daniel Yates, both from Nottingham, have been charged with affray, as have Liam Dean, 33, Stuart Barton, 22, and Richard Wallis, 21, all from Heanor, Derbyshire.Callum McKenzie, 20, from West Bridgford, has been charged with breaching his Football Banning Order for his part in the incident.Inspector Andy Berryman, from the Territorial Support Group, said: “Nottinghamshire Police will apply for Football Banning Orders against those who seek to cause or engage in disorder, or who spoil the enjoyment of people at football fixtures.”The men will appear at Nottingham Magistrates Court on Thursday, September 10. If convicted, they could be made the subject of a Football Banning Order (FBO), preventing them from attending football fixtures for up to ten years.Notts Police currently has 65 individuals subject to an FBO.

MACEDONIA U21 1-2 ENGLAND U21

Jack Rodwell of Everton (right) started in midfield for England

England Under-21s came from behind to beat Macedonia in their opening European Championship qualifier.

Agim Ibraimi gave the hosts the lead in Prilep, before West Ham striker Freddie Sears equalised midway through the second half.And Sunderland’s Lee Cattermole gave Stuart Pearce’s side all three points with a penalty on 83 minutes.England’s second clash is against Greece, who boast a 100% record from their two matches played, on Tuesday.

Cattermole had a shot well-saved by Kristjian Naumovski early on, and soon afterwards he had a goal ruled out for off-side.Macedonia’s Ibraimi tested Scott Loach with one free-kick, then in the 34th minute he made no mistake in similar circumstances to put his team in front.Macedonia should have scored again when another Ibraimi free-kick was not dealt with and fell to Marko Ivanovski, but his shot was blocked by Loach.Sears came on at half-time for Fabrice Muamba, and when a Junior Stanislas corner was not cleared, Sears beat Naumovski from six yards out to level the scores.And when substitute Jack Wilshere was fouled in the area close to the byeline, Cattermole stepped up and scored from the spot.
