Chelsea Blasted FIFA

Chelsea has sounded out that the ridiculous African Nations Cup being played at Ghana in the month of January/February 2008 as being crazy. Their Chairman, Bruce Buck, has blasted FIFA to deal with the tournament's schedule.

Why oh why Chelsea? Why the sudden call for a change of dates? Can a club which has a rich owner change another continenent's tournament schedule just to fit one club? How come Chelsea felt that brunt of this tournament?

One conclusion - you guys don't have a balanced team in this case. Harry Redknapp, the manager of Portsmouth did mention the same issue as Portsmouth will lose the services of at least 5 African players. You have contracted the players without proper planning of future tournaments that could affect your team's selection. Arsenal will lose 2 players too. Hopefully Man Utd can capitalise on this.......hehe!

Next time, hire only players who are not full international players and you won't have to deal with such an issue. So, if you have been lousy with your planning and purchases, don't try to shift the blame to others.
