Two Inter managers are accused of dealing with illegal contracts. Looks like Diego Milito and Thiago Motta didn't have the permission to play during the whole season. If that's true, the score of every game they played in will be set to 0, they will lose the italian championship and cup, Bayern could be CL winner and Inter could possibly be relegated to Seria B.

Lets see...
 
They are ( arent they? thats what ive heard.. theyre forbidden from the bundesliga starting beginning of this coming season)
 
Best is all that debt and will be able to afford a hefty signing on fee and mammoth wages of around 90k a week. This surely means Mascherano is going?

Other than this, it is an excellent coup for Hodgson.
 
Yeah sadly looks more and more like Mascherano and/or Torres/Gerrard going :<

Still don't have a LB either now that we're selling Insua lol.
 
If Mr Abramovich wouldn't pay his wage demands, shows how much Joe Cole wanted. Reports are he was offered 90k and that still wasn't enough (or wanted 90k per week but Chelsea said no way) but can't remember off the top of my head.
 
Take this with a pinch of salt as it's taken from The Sun newspaper but:

JOE COLE will pocket a whopping £19MILLION at Liverpool.

The England midfielder has signed a four-year deal worth £90,000 a week.
 
fucking hell! they should resctrict clubs from doing that.. Barcalona getting a 115 million euro's loan etc. its just bollocks, ok if the big boss like abramaovic and the manchester city people have got a lot of money to spend, but getting a loan from the bank on monday and spending it on tuesday on a player is just getting ridiculous.
 
Take this with a pinch of salt as it's taken from The Sun newspaper but:

Papers seem to suggest he wanted 100K a weekand probably because they are losing a a shedload of money Abramovich said no which sems fair enough given the injury past.

But to put the guy down because hes gone to Liverpool on a 90K a week deal worth a total of 19Mil is ridiculous, Chelsea have been paying the guy 80K for god knows how long, theyve paid out well in excess of 19Million I would guess, the exact same reasons he went to Chelsea is why he is going to Liverpool, I didnt see anyone complaining he was a money grabbing bastard when he joined Chelsea.
