[tennis] Kakuta Case Inspire More Complaints Against Big Clubs

The decision of the DRC of the FIFA on the Kakuta case to punish both the player and the club involved has inspired a few more complaints from the small clubs against the big ones. The first one to come was again for Chelsea when French amateur club ASPT Marsseille reported that they are consulting lawyers on whether they can complaint against the Londoners on the transfer of 11 yr old Jeremy Boga in October 2008. The French player played with the club for five years before the transfer. It is believed the gifted player was followed eagerly by some of the big French clubs. Chelsea are blamed of luring the parents of the player with money, car and residence in London. If this case is launched, they may be in a deeper trouble as they already face a hefty fine and a ban of two entire and consecutive transfer periods.
The other complain to be lodged is against the premier league rivals Manchester United. French club Le Havre has reported to the FIFA against them on their acquisition of their teenage starlet Paul Pogba. The French club complained that the Red Devils got the attention of the prodigious talent paying astronomical sum to his parents.
Ther decision of FIFA has attracted the attention of the small club who had earlier left any hope on their players. Some of the cases may not be strong enough to stand on the court. It may be that the clubs are trying to get some benefits from the FIFA's ruling on the case. However , it can't be denied that the ruling has gave some confidence to the victimised small clubs that they can get justice. UEFA president Michel Platini is very much against such a deal involving the small kids. And after the DRC has given some path breaking decision punishing Chelsea, there may be something to fear for the English giants now.
