Understand his reasononing though, the employee that left the Leeds Academy for Chelsea had a five year clause stating he should not approach Leeds players, which was totally ignored, and after all Chelski are possibly looking at a 3 point deduction for the tapping up of Ashley Cole. Bates is demanding a further nine pont deduction if Chelsea don't pay up. Worth a try I guess, even if we settle for much less, any cash would be welcome.

his reasoning is that arsenal paid 12mill for walcott who is of similar age, and they took 2 players. therefore 12 X 2 =24mill

hes proposed either they give us 24mil or he will take them to court and propose a 3 point reduction for each player they tried tapping up making it 9 points for thee 3 players they tried for from us and then the suspended 3 points they could possibly get for the Ashley Cole tapping up making it 12 points..... so Bates though is choose between us getting 24 mil or them starting on -12..... not gonna happen either way....

I seem to remember seeing something in the news about this months ago . If that is the case i think we would have done something already about this matter .
Hope we can though as every penny we can get will help the team . Even £1 million each would be great .

I think we have a good case, but I think we'll get something £3 million if we do end up with compensation. Still - that we would be great for the club

Will that come to us?
Brillant if it does, we won't get £24million but we should get a few million at least. Well done bates hope it's spent on new players though if we do get any compensation.
