Charity offer Mutu’s next move
By: Jack | September 14th, 2009This is few days old, mind you.
Adrian Mutu, after having two appeals against his FIFA fine for breach of contract dismissed by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), is now seeking another alternative to paying the 17-plus million euro fine to his former club, Chelsea.
Now he wants to make a substantial donation to several charities, including one of Chelsea’s choice.
“I can’t pay that kind of money and it’s not a question of desire but one of understanding and rationale,” he said. “I propose to make a significant donation to a charitable association in Florence or elsewhere that looks after children with problems related to substance abuse and to make another donation to a charity chosen by Chelsea in London or in England and the same in my country, Romania.”
Thoughts?
It’s also being reported that Mutu has lodged a third appeal, this one to a Swiss Federal Tribunal. We’ll keep you posted.

I am sympathetic with Mutu. I felt as though Chelsea really went for the jugular with Adrian. His offer sounds good, but it should be more than just money. He needs to spend extra -time- educating young people about the dangers of substance abuse as well.

Chelsea should take the deal. It’s good for everyone, especially since the club is never going to see that entire amount from him. Smart move, even if its a desperate one, from Mutu to offer it.

He simply can’t pay and it would probably be a good PR stunt for both Chelsea and Mutu
