Carlo wants positive appeal

// A bit of a hack but it works// The article snippet is wrapped onto a second line, even when #article-sub is emptyif( $("div#article-sub").children().length == 0 ) {$("div#article-sub").remove();} Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti confesses that the club's Fifa-imposed transfer embargo could prove a problem in the future, but he hopes for a successful appeal. The Blues have been banned from buying new players for 18 months after being found guilty of inducing Gael Kakuta to break a contract with Lens in order to move to Stamford Bridge in 2007.With an ageing squad, and taking into account the possibility of players sustaining serious injuries, Chelsea are expected to struggle in the long term following the suspension.Ancelotti, who only took over this summer, acknowledges the punishment is far from ideal, however, the Italian is confident the Premier League club will achieve a positive result from an ongoing appeal. "The decision was a surprise for me. But now the club are appealing, and we have to wait for a good result for us," he said.Long-term deals"We hope that they overturn the decision. Now, the transfer embargo is not a problem because we have a very good team and very good players - but in the future, we'll have to wait and see."Now I have to think about my job and about my players. I haven't spoken to owner Roman Abramovich about it, but it's not necessary for me to do that. I don't have to speak to Roman about this situation."Chelsea did not spend heavily on new signings this summer, deciding instead to secure current players, such as John Terry, Didier Drogba and Ashley Cole, to new-and-improved contracts.Ancelotti insists this is not because the Stamford Bridge hierarchy feared punishment from Fifa was imminent."Getting players on long-term deals - given this decision - is very important. But that's not about this decision," he said."It's more about the future of this club - to have John Terry, Frank Lampard, Didier Drogba and Ashley Cole in this team and at this club for years to come."
