Barcelona will be unable to sign players until January 2016 once the current transfer window shuts, after world governing body Fifa rejected the club's appeal against a transfer ban.

 

The Spaniards were given the 14-month ban after being found to have breached rules on signing international players under the age of 18.

 

It was suspended after they appealed, allowing them to sign Luis Suarez.

 

Scandalous.  The signing of Suarez should be cancelled!

What about their signing of shite players such as Vermaelen?

 

I'd be delighted if the Suarez transfer got cancelled.  :thumbsup:

 

Not that it'll happen but they shouldn't have been allowed to sign anyone, and the signings should be annulled.

You're forgetting that Barcelona are a massive money making machine. Would the powers that be risk changing that just because they broke the rules? Not in a month of Sundays.

 

PTB: "Hey, Barca. You're taking the piss now so you need to be punished. You're getting a signing ban."

 

Barca: "But that might compromise our ability to keep money pouring into the game."

 

PTB: "Fair point. Okay then.. appeal the ban, we'll suspend it, you go absolutely mental on the signings and that should sustain you until our meaningless punishment expires."

So did he go of his own volition or was it a case of jumping before he was pushed.

 

Sounded like they were surprised by it, so I reckon it was his own choice. Leaving on a high. Seems logical in the fickle world of management.

Saw some Tim on twitter saying how he was worried that Rodgers would be tempted by the Real Madrid gig and thus dismantle the squad he has at parkhead by taking key players with him.

I really hope to fuck that the post was written with more than a hint of sarcasm.
