We hope to see you very soon at one derby match between UTA and Poli Timisoara in first league
Hey from North Carolina, USA.
I follow UTA just a little since I have a good friend that lives there.
What sort of budget does UTA run on? What are the wages and admin costs for UTA? Just wondering! - thanks
Hello Robert,

I this moment in romanian second league I estimate that we need around 1.500.000 Euro which mean in US dollars 1.860.000 and if we promote in first league we will need around 3.000.000 Euro.

Best regards.
My name is Paul Morris and I am a Tottenham Hotspur fan who has been living in Brno in the Czech Republic for 8 years now. I have an idea to write a book about the cities, players, stadia, matches and clubs from behind the former Iron Curtain (Arad, Bucharest, Prague, Zabrze, Leipzig, Split, Tbilisi, Bratislava and Belgrade) whom Tottenham played in various European competitions from the 60s to the 80s. Needless to say, UTA Arad was the creme de la creme in Romania in the 70s and contained some great players, many of whom are alive to this day.

To give the book a first hand feel, I would like to visit Arad and get some interviews with surviving players from those matches with Tottenham in 1972. I would like to get information not only about the games, but also about their memories of Tottenham in general, as well as perhaps some background about football in Romania and UTA Arad, its growth, development etc.

I would be very grateful if you could provide me with any photodocumentation from the Tottenham matches as well as UTA Arad team lineups.

Do you think it would be possible to get some interviews with UTA Arad players who took part in those Tottenham games?

I really hope you or someone you know can help. Is there a contact email address on the normal clubpages?

Many thanks and best regards

Paul Morris
@Mozez:
Take a look at the thread named "Istoria UTA-ei" and then open "Amintiri despre 'UTA' 1945 - 1974". See what you can find there...I remember seeing some information about 'Spurs'. I'm also sure that our guys can facilitate a meeting with some of the 'old glories'.
Good to have you here...
And like redNeck said take a look at this link:

Just what do you do with Mutu?

STEVEN HOWARD - Chief sports writer - The Sun
Published: 07 Sep 2009

CHELSEA'S clobbering by FIFA has caused wry smiles all round.

None more so than at the Florence home of Adrian Mutu.
The deadline has already passed for the former Blues star to stump up the absurd �14.6million compensation it has been decided he owes the club.

This stems from him "breaching his contract" following his sacking by the West London billionaires in 2004 for testing positive for cocaine.
The figure set by the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne presumably goes towards covering the amount Chelsea lost in transfer fees for a player they bought for �16m.
The club say they are considering their options - including a demand to FIFA that the Romanian, now with Fiorentina, be handed a worldwide ban.

How ironic then that Chelsea have to go cap in hand to the very same arbitration panel that was so benevolent to them in the Mutu case to appeal against their 18-month transfer ban.
Sanctions, they say, that are without precedent - except Roma and Swiss club Sion were both similarly punished prior to successful appeals.

Chelsea's hesitancy over how they attempt to claim their unexpected windfall from Mutu is thoroughly understandable for a club that, with barely a second thought, has written off so many tens of millions in the past few years.
If they are looking for fair play and leniency themselves over their own ban, it won't look too good in the eyes of football if they either hound the 30-year-old into retirement or force him into bankruptcy.

How much sympathy will they then get if they show none to Mutu?
All round, it is a very delicate PR operation for the club - and one with a huge human interest side to it.
Yes, Mutu was taking cocaine but, at the time, he was going through an extremely messy divorce and custody battle over his young son, had fallen out with Jose Mourinho, suffered injury and was clearly unwanted at the club.

The main argument at the time was how other clubs HAD stood by high-profile players caught up in drugs scandals - Arsenal with Paul Merson and Manchester United with Rio Ferdinand after the England centre-half "forgot" to take a dope test.
There was also the suggestion, neither proved one way or the other, Chelsea had sent in the drug-testers to specifically nail Mutu who, the club claim, was refusing to take a test himself.

The player was eventually banned for seven months and fined �20,000 before making his way to Juventus via Livorno as Juve already had their quota of non-EU players.
And here it gets even more murky.

Juve at the time were run by the infamous Luciano Moggi, later banned for life for his involvement in the match-fixing scandal that saw the club relegated from Serie A and stripped of two Italian titles.

And who was manager? Fabio Capello.

Juve paid no transfer fee for Mutu though they did receive �6m - which many people might think is Chelsea's money - when he moved to Fiorentina, where he has scored 54 goals in 91 games.

Having saved �11m on his wages, it was thought Chelsea were prepared to write off Mutu's transfer fee just to get him off the books.
But times have changed. Roman Abramovich has woken up to the fact so much of his money has been squandered - over �30m on Andriy Shevchenko alone - while, at one time, he was paying for Juan Veron and Hernan Crespo to both play in Milan.

Yet Chelsea know they have to be even-handed with Mutu, even more so with them asking for consideration and understanding themselves over their transfer freeze.

It was they, after all, who sacked Mutu in the first place.
They certainly don't want to be seen to be ending the career of a player who, without their help, has successfully rehabilitated himself.

Following a famous drugs bust in the Sixties, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards were originally jailed before a Times editorial helped win them their appeals.
It was headlined: Who breaks a butterfly upon a wheel?

Quite.

@jordan057, the colors are white-red, not red-white.
