Accused clubs admit fault
Fulham prime suspect, receives worst sanction
by Mark Schwarzer last updated 3 March 2025

UEFA football is over for Fulham Football Club, as they were heavily sanctioned for their part in match fixing/bribing scandals during the 2024 season. Even though the details were not revealed, several rumors regarding members of the club's board have surfaced.

As a result, the Cottagers have been removed from the UEFA Europa league, and the worst of it, is the surprising 20-point deduction of the club's current 27-points. The club has also been fined a significant amount, the figure has been undisclosed.

"We are at a loss for words today," states Fulham public representative Allistair Feeney, "The sanction will destroy this club's prospect of staying in the Premiership. We are going to lose players left and right."

Due to the heavy sanction, Fulham are expected to release their high salary players such as Lukaku, Rafael and most detrimental, the mid-season top scorer, Lam Matteo.

"I hate this," Matteo went on record saying after the news, "I love Fulham. I can't see myself playing for anyone else. But I have to think about my family now."

Fulham aside, the other two clubs Bolton and Sunderland have received notably "weaker" sanctions - each with 10 point deductions, and a $100k fine.

Goodbye Fulham - Cheaters!!!

@ Kashi Herzard - If I knew the answer, I'd write it, yeah?

Kashi Herzard at 9:03 pm
Well, wonder if Mark Schwarzer is going to tell us if the league is going to continue - get the cheaters out of the way and let's play!

Daniel Ben Murphy at 9:01 pm
So this is how I find out? Great. I quit.

Matthew Hill at 8:44 pm
Lam Matteo is going to retire now, he might as well - guy can't catch a break, controversy follows him everywhere - honestly.

Clinton Dempsey at 8:39 pm
Really sad to see this happen. Whites will prevail though - championship or not.

My battle with picking the right game continues. Honestly with graphics like this, FIFA 12 for the PC is starting to get a good chance of being the final destination for Matteo:

There is a very active community modding - and gameplay - the only thing I need though is a player editor so I can change the ages.

Your right about the graphics being fantastic. The problem I found with PC FIFA 12 is that the players just stand around in the attacking zone like pylons. If I had to yell at my computer screen one more time for the players to move, I was going to lose it. Hopefully, you have better luck with gameplay issues than me.

I plan on testing Fidel's gameplay mod from soccergaming.tv when I get home tonight. By the looks of this video, it seems promising.

I think regardless of FIFA, I will still be playing PES 12 for this report. I do plan on doing one of those youtube commentary video series though for FIFA if I can get everything in place.

Matteo: "I'll Play for Free"
Top scorer announces commitment to club

Just announced a couple hours ago via press conference outside his London home, Lam Matteo will remain at Fulham regardless of the heavy and devestating sanctions placed on the club.

"At this point I don't care," states Matteo, "Money is money - football is life. My family is here - and I will take care of Fulham when they need me the most."

In response to the fact that the club would not be able to match the salary figures on his contract:

"Throw out the contract. I'll play for free."

The captain has spoken - and from here on out, at least for the remainder of the season, Lam Matteo will be a professional without a match salary.

Criticism has already flown in from all angles - primarily from representatives of the bigger clubs that were salivating to sign the striker after he would be released from Fulham.

"They don't matter to me," says Matteo firmly, "I am a Cottager for life. This is my home - and it's where they will lay me down when all is said and done."

Comments:

Jay565653 says: "Wow. What an idiot. I know he has faithful obligations and all - but really...a dramatic paycut like this - little Lex and mum are going to be on the streets of London before next month."

Duffy16 says: "Fulham don't deserve the sanctions - and Matteo doesn't deserve a pay cut. Can you believe he is doing this - I'd say he's foolish at first, but then quickly retract because let's face it - he is a fantastic footballer."

Jon890Ron says: "You know, take note young ones - this is the mark of a true professional dedicated to the LOVE of the game. Fulham supporters get out your permanent markers - because the name Matteo should be everywhere you turn."

Lex10Teo says: "I don't mind living on the street - pick up game everywhere you turn!"

Mediacom will have to put Fulham first, for better results.

Club News: With the blow to their budget, Fulham FC has had to part ways with Sharp. As a result Brittish "green friendly" company, Mediacom has signed a 2 year contract with the club.

MATTEO, SECOND THOUGHTS?

Lam Matteo, even though united with former teammate Michael Flamini, appeared tired and without focus during the integral Mediacom kit sponsor training day. One can only suggest the striker is already regretting his decision to stay at an ever-changing Fulham.

Poor old Matteo. He just wants a sit down and a cup of tea.

Lol. Too true. It's all my fault though. However, we are back up and running as the first match was played last night. This is definitely not as easy as PES, that's for sure.

Matteo is surely too good to be stuck with Fulham much longer?

Hehe, I know - but I can't stand another move. We'll see though. He's still got some years left on him I feel.
