Come on you suits

So here's the test for The FA. Seeing as they've just about fucked up everything else they've laid their seedy palms on this season - MK Dons, Wrexham, the Unibond League play-offs for a starter.

Cole, Mourinho and whoever else was involved have been found guilty of 'tapping up'. Big surprise. It took 3 months of shenanigans to establish something that was even obvious to David Blunkett when he'd got soap in his eyes.

But here's the thing. Chelsea have to be punished. But how do you punish the richest club in the universe? Do you deduct them points and risk a lawsuit and a defence team that would make the Michael Jackson case look like a fight in the school playground, or do you fine them a couple of thousand pounds which Abramovich will find down the back of his settee.

There is no precedent, other than UEFA punishing clubs pathetic amounts for racial abuse and crowd trouble, and which is worse?

What do you fine Chelsea which doesn't effectively give a message to the rest of the football world that you can tap up any player you want as long as you are willing to pay a couple of piddly grand fine on top of the value of the player. They'd all go for that, they wont mind paying an extra £100k if it means they can have a chat with Rio over headbutts at the local boozer.

You may as well set fire to all contracts now and have the managers pick their teams like we used to at school with the fat ones going to League 2 and Chelsea having the best ones.

'twill be interesting to see how The Ministry of Funny Fuckers handles this one.
