The ban was handed down to Chelsea FC today from the world's governing body, FIFA, because the English club had been found guilty to have induced the transfer of the French U19's international Gael Kakuta to breached the rules of his contract which was signed to the French Club RC Lens, in order to him to sign for Chelsea FC back in 2007.

As an additional result of this Gael Kakuta was condemned to pay compensation in the amount of €780,000 to RC Lens as well as also being handed a 4 month ban, whilst Chelsea FC have to pay RC Lens a training compensation in the amount of €130,000.

A FIFA spokesperson went on to say that this decision confirms our aim to ensure contractual stability and that it is also an important ruling for football in general to follow.

Yeah I have always thought this myself (as in previous failed storys I have done so) but this time I've just decided not to do that basically, I dont know why but I like it how it is. But thanks for the suggestion mate (:

The next update should be available tomorrow. I have already done it but I'm just trying to space the updates out.

If I'm honest, I prefer seeing people use default size in stories. It's original, its different, and I do think it looks better than size 1 actually.

As for the story, I'll definitely be following any Chelsea stories this year due to the transfer ban, so with the great start you've made, good luck with the rest of the story. Looking forward to see what comes next.

A statement on the Chelsea FC Official Website confirms that the current manager Carlo Ancelotti has shockingly left his position at the club just days after signing a 3 year deal due to the recent events that have affected the club into having a transfer ban from the next two periods.

The statement claimed that Carlo had recently had talks with the Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich over the recent ban that had been implemented on the club and he felt there was a lack of trust given to him from the owner but most of all the staff who negotiated the deal to sign Gael Kakuta back in 2007. He also went onto say to Roman that because something like this was able to happen, this is where the lack of trust is and he does not believe he can have that with the staff any time in the future so he had to leave his position.

In addition to this the statement confirmed that Chelsea will be employing a new manager within the next week if possible, however they do feel that with the recent events with the transfer ban and lack of trust stated by Carlo Ancelotti it may become harder to employ a high level manager which they have done in recent years and might have to seek looking lower down the rankings into filling that position.

A press conference earlier today held in Fulham confirmed that Chelsea FC have hired Robert Edginton as replacement manager for Carlo Ancelotti who recently left his position just one week after being employed by the London club.

This announcement comes at a time when Chelsea's reputation has been critically hit by recent events and stir up in the media and as an affect has given them little chance of hiring a world class manager let alone a mediocre manager in replacement due to the fact that no one wishes to trust the board and staff.

At the conference Chelsea FC's managing director Bruce Buck stated that the board were proud to have hired a long life Chelsea FC fan in Robert Edginton and that because of this and also the clubs current situation in the football world this was why we made the decision to hire him. Bruce Buck then went onto say that he along with Roman Abramovich and Ron Gourlay believe that Robert Edginton has the potential to do a lot for Chelsea FC and we the board wish him the best of the luck.

However with the board feeling confident in the appointment of Robert Edginton the fans question this and believe that the board have no idea what they are doing and are asking for the board to resign from there positions.

Earlier today the new Chelsea FC manager Robert Edginton played host to a press conference held at Stamford Bridge which offered him the chance to introduce himself to the fans as well as the media who now finally had there chance to question him about his targets and ambitions regarding the clubs current situation and also the future aspects of the job.

Throughout the press conference Robert Edginton did comment about how excited he was to be employed at his favourite club and also added that he wanted to do the best in the near future but the main talking point was when he was asked about the recent transfer ban by the local journalists.

      Joe Smith, The Observer

      "What is you opinion of the recent transfer ban that has banned the club to buy within the next two transfer periods, and
      how do you feel this will affect the squad seeing as you have an ageing team?"

      Robert Edginton, Chelsea FC Manager

      "I am yet to really have an opinion on the transfer ban that was handed to the club as I don't understand the full reason's
      behind it other than what was claimed by the FA but from this I have to accept what they have decided and carry on.
      Because of this however I do feel a great challenge and chance for myself has become available and I wish to grasp that
      with both hands and achieve the top level for my club.

      As for it affecting the squad because of the age, I feel this is no problem as we have a squad full of players in there prime
      and behind this a team full of depth. Sure when we are able to buy again, if I am still here we will buy in the masses to
      replace the oldest players but I do feel some of them can carry on for a couple more years after."

Just so people know the next update won't be added until I have the game, as it didn't come today it should be here tomorrow so look out for an update on Sunday.

Thankyou for the comments so far guys, just hope this continues to go well and I follow it through at least to the end of this season as my first target (:

Edit: Still not arrived or the postmen are slow, so it probably means the post strike has started so the update could be as late as Tuesday though tbh it isn't anything special.

A statement on the Chelsea FC Official Website has confirmed that five of the first team players have extended there contracts with the London club. These players were Juliano Belletti, Joe Cole and Michael Ballack who have agreed a two year extension whilst Alex and Salomon Kalou who have both agreed to a three year extension.

The statement also included a comment from the Chelsea FC manager Robert Edginton which claim that he was very glad to have got these players to agree to an extension on there contracts as they were due to run out soon. He also went onto say that this is a big boost for the team because of the recent transfer ban they need as many players committed to the team as possible who will affect the first team results.

Lots of potential here

I like the fact people still play with Chelsea and SOMS are done on them .
