Call me cynical but it will come as no surprise to me to see this panel find in the favour of Heinze. As a ManU fan I can't recall the last time we got any positive result from any panel whether FA or PL based.

Apparently Heinze has been told both orally and in writing that he will not be allowed to join a PL title rival but he is still trying to force his way out of a contract that still has two years to run. Similarly Drenthe at Feyenoord is looking to take his club to court to force through a move to Real Madrid despite only recently signing a new 5 year contract.

So if this becomes the trend to try and force a move it will be even more dangerous than the Bosman ruling proved to be. What's the point of investing millions in a player if they can simply turn to a panel to try and force their way out of a contract when they were happy to put pen to paper in the first place?

So what's a contract worth ... clearly zilch!

Gen, London,

I'm not saying Ferguson should be pleased about Heinze wanting to join Liverpool but to actually go out of one's way to stop a player when you don't want him smacks a little of slavery. Ferguson has every right to be displeased and should voice that but really that's where it should end. After all every time Heinze turns up to Old Trafford he'll be lambasted and vilified by the fans and that's where it should end. Or is that one player going to give Liverpool the premiership? Ultimately football is a strange industry and we should be asking does what Manchester Utd want to do as a business legal? Yes Heinze has a contract with Manchester Utd but something that seems to be forgotten is that Erva has replaced him as Ferguson's favorite and Heinze is correct to try and further his career elsewhere. It'd be great if elsewhere was somewhere OTHER than Liverpool but if an executive from Microsoft wanted to leave for a better offer to Google "c'est la vie" but in football its not allowed.
