So Boro may be penalised for cancelling the contract of Branca. I'd be interested what FIFA have to say to Domi!!!

MIDDLESBROUGH could be docked priceless Premiership points by the Football Association after failing to comply with a FIFA ruling on the long-running Marco Branca saga.

Football365 has learned that the Teesside club have yet to pay the Italian striker £500,000 he claims he is owed after they cancelled his playing contract in 1999, insisting that he had retired from the game.

Oh I wouldn't shed any tears for them Swifty. Another brilliant piece of organisation from the Gibson-Robson axis, like not turning up for matches without permission, or not putting in under soil heating. I hope they put Venables in charge of Boro's finances whilst they're at it.

I'm sure we can all think of one or two clubs (two definitely) far more deserving of this penalty.
