Clubs concerned after Chelsea ban - Blatter

09 September 2009 15:48
FIFA president Sepp Blatter believes a number of clubs are worried about their own positions following Chelsea's transfer ban. The Blues have been banned from buying players in the next two transfer windows after being found guilty of irregularities over the move of former Lens teenager Gael Kakuta to Stamford Bridge in 2007. The London club insist they have done no wrong and are appealing to the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne. Blatter said: "We have now had a case (Chelsea) to analyse. It has been done by a committee with a judge and representatives of many clubs. That has now been settled. "There are clubs now who are looking at their books, some have even announced that a certain player has no contract with them and he is an amateur. "They have done this to try to make sure that the player does not come under the jurisdiction of congress."
