Eboue has had his Sunderland contract cancelled after just 22 days after FIFA banned him from all footballing activities for a year over him owing a former agent £21,000 :allears:

I have NEVER received the respect I deserve as the leader and founder of The Masterflock, the internet's largest and oldest Christopher Masterpiece fan group in all of history, and I DEMAND that changes. From now on, you will respect Skinty McEdger!

If it had been £15,000 then Sunderland would've kept him on for a year.

http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2016/apr/12/adam-johnson-appeals-against-his-conviction-and-six-year-sentence

quote:

Adam Johnson has launched an appeal against his conviction and six-year sentence for grooming and sexual activity with a 15-year-old girl.

The former England footballer was jailed last month after he was convicted of sexual activity with the teenager following a trial at Bradford crown court.
Johnson, 28, admitted kissing and grooming her on the first day of his trial and was later found guilty of a more serious child sexual assault.

Officials at Bradford crown court confirmed on Tuesday that the footballer’s legal team have lodged an appeal against his six-year sentence.

You look at those two sentences and you think Johnson's is the one that seems off?

Drogba's charity might be dodgy

http://www.theguardian.com/society/2016/apr/14/didier-drogba-charity-watchdog-raises-serious-concerns

quote:

The charities watchdog has “serious regulatory concerns” about a foundation set up by the former Chelsea footballer Didier Drogba following allegations that less than 1% of the funds raised by the organisation in the UK have gone to good causes.

More than £1.7m has been raised by the Didier Drogba Foundation in the UK over the last five years but only £14,115 has been given to good causes, according to claims made in the Daily Mail following an investigation.

Even if he's innocent, or maybe even especially if he's innocent, he shouldn't have his conviction overturned as it would send the wrong message

Well, no? Unless the authorities deliberately lied or something, it's just down to the jury being idiots, and you can't sue the jury.

He's being re-tried again for the rape, they've just thrown the existing verdict out. Either way he's served the required part of his sentence so the most he'd get is some compensation.

A Leeds United director has been criticised after using the hashtags 'ss' and 'gestapo' on social media while posting about a new haircut.

In an Instagram post, Ercole Cellino, son of club chairman Massimo Cellino, is pictured at the barbers with the caption "alternative lunch break".

One user replied: "Great hashtags for the Jewish Leeds fans to see! Didn't think about that did you?"

Writing in Italian, Mr Cellino said it was not his intention to offend anyone.

Leeds United has been approached for comment about the post.

On 20 April, Massimo Cellino's other son Edoardo Cellino, also a club director, was fined £5,000 by the Football Association for comments he made on social media.
