Gill unhappy with Le Havre accusations

Submitted by Anonymous on Tue, 09/08/2009 - 19:10

Manchester United chief executive David Gill has warned Le Havre not to accuse the Reds of wrongdoing over the Paul Pogba transfer.

Gill feels offended by the suggestions and has stressed that United did everything through the proper channels.

"It is an insult by Le Havre to suggest that Manchester United and the employees of Manchester United have paid the players' parents and bought the parents a house," said Gill.

"We will not accept the good name of Manchester United being trawled around on websites and the press to say that we have done these things which we are not allowed to do and we would never do.

"We've done everything, we think, by the book.

"We are not intimidating Le Havre. We have no intention of intimidating Le Havre."

The French outfit have threatened to take the matter to Fifa but Gill has responded, "They can do whatever they feel is appropriate. We can defend our case in the football bodies. We are very comfortable doing that."

This is just adding fuel to the fire for the Chelsea case. Le Havre can try, and most likely fail. Chelsea will only end up missing out on one transfer window at the most, depending on their timing for appeal. The whole thing just needs ratifying by FIFA, but instead they are sitting on the fence and now drawing a line under the whole thing.

Tiny french club see's Chelsea get done for poaching a player, so accuses another club of doing it to them....

Would be ammusing when it turns out that the Pogba deal is all good. Wood FIFA then ban the accusing club for wasting Fifa's time?

Guess we will leave FIFA to do their job then. If the little boys' parents leave in a brand new house then i we will find out how it came about.
