TRANSFER BAN FOR KOP
Press Report 04 September 2005 

LIVERPOOL and Leeds face the threat of a transfer ban for using an unlicensed agent in Harry Kewell's move, reports the News of the World. 

FIFA plan to charge both clubs after a full-scale probe into the £5million switch.
 
And if found guilty they could be banned from any dealing in the next transfer window as well as being hit with hefty fines. Max Sport, a company run by Kewell's manager Bernie Mandic, received £2m from the transfer.
 
The issue was brought to light during Kewell's libel action against Gary Lineker. The FA had their own inquiry and handed the findings to FIFA.
 
Earlier this year Arsenal were fined £10,000 after using an unlicensed agent in the signing of Quincy Owusu Abeyie. Their transfer ban was suspended for two years.
 
The case against Kewell is seen as more serious.
 
A FIFA spokesman said: "I can confirm we are investigating the matter."


Excuse me, if Kewell's agent was unlicensed, whose fault is it.?

This Kewel fella looks like he is becoming a bigger liability .. lets see what happens

papers allways lie

[jammydodger]

They don't lie, they get half the story and then exaggerate

[Afroman]

Certain papers lie, one in particular.
I think you know the one I mean

[zarababe]

Yeh I think a fine would be the likely outcome.. but I think Kewell should pay it or his agent.. I feel sorry for Benitez.. what must he think ? What an amaterish set-up we appear to have

[Pinguinobetico]

Harry Kewell left liverpool?

[zarababe]

ummm I wish

[King Carra]

Its all GH fault for wanting the player, he has brought nothing to the club apart from bad publicity and Arsenal got in a similat situation and they got a 10K fine and a 2 year suspended transfer ban.
