Le Havre confident they have case against Man Utd over Pogba deal
Le Havre chairman Pierre Louvel is confident they have a case against Manchester United over their deal for teenager Paul Pogba.
Referring to past cases, where Le Havre lodged complaints to FIFA in the past over Charles N’Zogbia’s move to Newcastle and Matthias Lepiller’s move to Fiorentina, Louvel told France Football: "The Lepiller case is a great step forward, about N'Zogbia, FIFA didn't make any decision and only CAS (Court of Arbitration for Sports) can decide.
"In Lepiller case, this time FIFA took sanctions. That proves the fight is not in vain. After Chelsea, if Manchester United is also sanctioned, I believe some clubs will think about (poaching young players). We can feel both in France and Europe, a new movement is appearing and the number of clubs coming to sign players from education centres starts to decrease."
Louvel added: "There is a real difference between Pogba and Lepiller, Pogba had a no-hire agreement, which is a strong commitment as it is signed by the players but above all the players' parents. If Manchester United wanted to talk with us, we would have accepted to talk. Once again, it was not a way to prevent the player from making his own choice."

Paul Pogba never signed any agreement with Le Harve, how could they say they have a case ? what a stupid club ! The grape sour !
They were told to put up or shut up, I think that it is now time to take them to task over the slanderous comments being made!
This is taking too much time
