Mutu loses Chelsea damages appeal

Adrian Mutu must pay Chelsea £14.65m after losing his appeal against a Fifa ruling for a breach of contract.
The striker, who cost the Blues £15m in 2003, was sacked a year later after he tested positive for cocaine and given a seven-month worldwide football ban.

Fifa issued the ruling last year but Mutu described it as "inhumane and unjust" and said he would appeal.
However, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas) has ruled against the 30-year-old, who now plays for Fiorentina.
"The Cas panel concluded that the appeal brought by the player was to be dismissed and the measure of damages, as awarded by Fifa's Dispute Resolution Chamber (DRC), was to be confirmed," said a Cas statement.


"Adrian Mutu must therefore pay 17,173,990 euros to Chelsea FC."
The compensation figure, based on lost earnings, was calculated on the length of time Mutu's contract had left to run, and was the highest ever handed down by Fifa.
After being sacked by Chelsea and serving his ban, the Romanian joined Juventus in January 2005, and at the end of the following season he moved to his current side, Fiorentina.
When Fifa announced its verdict, Chelsea welcomed it, calling it "a very significant decision for football".

The Chelsea statement continued: "Not only did the Dispute Resolution Chamber make us a very significant monetary award, it also recognised the damaging effect incidents involving drugs have on football and the responsibility we all have in this area."
The latest ruling is third time that Cas has been involved in the case.

"In 2005, Cas confirmed the decision of the Football Association Premier League Appeals Committee finding that, because of a positive doping test, Mutu had committed a breach of the employment contract without just cause," added the Cas statement.

"In 2007, Cas set aside a first decision by the DRC denying jurisdiction and referred the matter back to Fifa to determine and impose the appropriate sporting sanction and/or order for compensation arising out of the dispute."



Right decision??

Wrong, should have just made him pay back whatever wages he earned.

I think that is the amount he has to pay, his wages.

Good decision, no reward for cheating

chelsea have no class, manchester united had drug problems with rio, but they stayed loyal to him, not sacked him the 1st chance they got.
mutu could've been one helluva of a player for them

pretty sure they sacked him without pay for the years left as he breached his contract

spot on northbank, chelsea should have done what united did for rio with his drug issues, that is support them and give them a 2nd chance

I've read that his wages came to near £6m, was under the impression what he has to pay is his transfer fee?

yup he has to pay his transfer fee as chelsea sacked him for abusing his contract.

thing is legally what chelsea are doing is right and fair as mutu breached his contract and they were entitled to fire him. him getting sued him is legally right as he cost a lot of money and broke his contract so he owes chelsea the money they wasted on him

morally it is incorrect
no

But what does the transfer fee have to do with Mutu, Chelsea were paying him x amount for a service. He broke his contract, surely he should just be paying back the wages. :unsure:

If Chelsea wanted the transfer fee back then they should have just sold him..

lost of investment/earnings/performances for what chelsea paid

chelsea invested in him a certain amount, he agreed a contract, he broke the contract and chelsea had it in their contract they were right to sack him. chelsea sued him saying he should pay back what they paid for him as HE broke the contract clause, not chelsea.

i think the decision will be over turned on appeal at the human rights court as this is the first of its kind

legally it is correct but morally it isnt

think of it this way, you hire someone to look after your cottage, pay him wages, he breaks his contract may vandalising the property, you would sack him and take him to court as he broke the contract terms, so you expect him to pay back what it cost you
no

But if I headhunted him from another company and had to pay them a sum I doubt I would get that back as that would just be a fee for the company to give him up.

It was Chelsea terminated the contract btw, they could have just docked him wages and then sold him when his ban was up, it was their choice to give him away for nothing.

1st, Rio always denied having anything to do with drugs. Mutu was warned by CFC the 1st time it showed up at internal club check, but was caught again about 6 weeks later in offical test, given last warning by CFC but caught yet again by internal check about 6 weeks after that, thats when they decided to get rid.

TBH honest, cant see Chelsea getting anything out of this, will just be dragged on and on and FIFA's ruling wont have any power in the real world. At worse for Mutu, it will drag on for another couple of years and he will just retire.

I mean there was no evidence was found with ferdinand LFC. Just seems like a act of stupidity to me, not trying to avoid it.

I remember that mix up with negoui at city, because he couldnt speak english he missed a test. Probably would of done us a favour banning him.
