This will be a good measure of how fair UEFA really are. Look at the crime and punishments in the Italian scandal, and then let's see what Chelsea get - in my mind, tapping-up is a far lesser crime than match fixing, but I guess we'll find out  |

What Ken Said (btw):
"We have considerable and great weight of evidence to demonstrate quite clearly, without a shadow of doubt, that Chelsea behaved consistently aggressively in stealing these two players from Leeds United," stated Bates on Sky Sports News.
"It is not a question of punishing Chelsea for this latest breach. It is a question of stopping them doing it in the future.
"Because of the financial strength of the owner, financial punishments alone will make no difference to them at all.
"If you belong to a league or any competition, or a club or any organisation, there are rules. By continuing in that competition, there is implicit acceptance to play by those rules. If you don't wish to play by those rules and refuse consistently to do so, why should you be allowed to play in these competitions?
"We think, therefore, not only a financial punishment should be imposed but other punishments such as deduction of points, banning of registration of new players or suspension from European competitions would be more appropriate.
"It would make Mr Abramovich, who is the owner of Chelsea and has the ultimate responsibility, to act to make sure his employees behave in accordance of the rules and regulations of the various competitions Chelsea play in.
"It's ironic, in fact, Mr [Peter] Kenyon stated recently they'd reported Real Madrid to Fifa for an alleged illegal approach for one of their players - Arjen Robben. We recognise their right to do that in that case and feel it's also appropriate to report Chelsea to Fifa and Uefa over these two incidents.
"Hopefully, any punishments Fifa deem appropriate to Real Madrid will be consistently applied to Chelsea.
"I'm encouraged by the fact that the recent scandals in Italy were punished severely by the Italian FA. This should be a good example to our FA to act in similar stern fashion."
