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.

Ciao Gianfranco,

In 1945 after the war when Francisc von Neumann the owner of textiles factory from Arad founded the team he choose these colors because was an Arsenal Londra fan. More o that he built the stadium too like a copy of Highbury from that time.

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