The world's eyes seemed to be on a Luxury five star hotel in Geneva Switzerland.Camera's flashed in its wide Auditorium as FIFA President Sepp Blatter walked onto stage.There was a certain pain in the way he walked as if every step towards whatever he was about to do hurt.
'I have come here as it is my duty to read out a punishment for Newcastle FC. after a recent allegations against them by a Brithish Tabloid was found to be true.'
said Sepp Blatter as he wiped beads of sweat rolling down his forhead with the back of his hand
'It has be found that certain members of the Newcastle Establishment tried to poach the up and coming star Marco Verratti by offering lucrative jobs and bonuses to his father Franco Verratti'
'We have decided after extensive meetings with related personell to ban Mr Chris Hughton the primary man responsible for these detestable acts from working in Football for life'
said Sepp Blatter the anger very much evident in his voice
'Although Marco Verratti has told us that he never wanted to go to Newcastle this way but was forced to do so by his father,rules are rules and he has been banned from participating in any competitive Football Match for 6 months'
said Sepp Blatter,however this time there was a certain sadness in his voice at banning such a potential star player for something he never did but was forced into.
'After the Gael Kakuta incident,we sent out a strong message to every club to not engage in such activities,however our warning was not heeded and this is the result'
said Sepp Blatter shaking with anger
'And who was the major victim,Marco Verratti a player I myself have marked as a future Italy Captian...I hope that all those involved are ashamed of themselves after they ruined not only their own lives but most importantly the live of one of Footballs rising stars!'
said Sepp Blatter shouting the last sentence
And with that,he walked quickly off the stage to the flashes of numerous cameras and babbles of voices

After weeks of silence,Marco Veratti a player recently banned unjustly as many say in a sensational announcement by FIFA President Sepp Blatter has agreed to do an exclusive intervie with our Sports Corresspondent John Wilshere where he has promised to reveal all the trauma's he had been suffering for the past 3 months.
Excerpt of Interview
Q1:Mr Veratti,how do you feel after this 'unjust' ban FIFA has imposed on you?
A1:Obviously I feel angry and sad but I have matured,and I know life is tough so what can I say,I will continue to work hard and hopefully return a stronger player
Q2:Mr Veratti,could you throw some light on the relationship between you and your father,Franco Veratti?
A1:Ever since I was young,He always wanted me to be a footballer but over the past few years when I had become more of a known name across Italy,he pushed me to the limit that sometimes I used to have dark thoughts such as to run away...I always knew the deals he had with Mr Hughton and now as it has been revealed I find myself on the wrong end.
Q3:Could you possible explain why your father decided to go ahead with this 'deal' when it had been publicly stated by Mr Sepp Blatter that he will not tolerate these things?
A3:I don't know,maybe it was because he wanted me to become a better footballer and thus wanted me to play in a top English Club but i dont think this is true as many clubs in Italy and Spain were rumoured to be looking at me but only Newcastle was offering me anything and that is why he reject offers from AC Milan and Juventus without asking me and accepeted Newcastle's offer
Q4:Just yestersay,FIFA released a statement that they will not allow you to play for Newcastle and that you will have to find yourself a new club,do you possibly think a club will still take a chance on you after this fiasco?
Marco Veratti remains silent for a moment before answering
A4:Why Not?,I am still the same player and person,you are forgetting that I got embroiled in this mess in the first place because of my father and other people,not because I was greedy
Q5:Scotland Yard has decided to investigate all your Father's Business Dealings and assets,will you stand by your father and support him?
A5:I know I will have to eventually,but right now I find it very tough to forgive him and I'm happy that they are investigating him,maybe he will get punished and come out a better person
Q6:How do you intend to spend your six months away from Football?
A6:Well,I was not going to release this but since I am not allowed to play any competitive matches,I have decided to play for English Club John Bull United in the Suffolk & Ipswich League Divison 2,I will be able to keep my match fitness and get regular practice this way

Newcastle given a 9 point deduction!
Charles looked slowely up from the Newspaper Headlines that screamed at him from his free copy of the Daily Express.Already Newcastle were close to relegation from the Premiere Divison and this 9 point decution would pretty much seal Championship Football again next year.
Moreover,the club still had not found a replacement manager for Mr Hugthon although there were intense speculation in the media,it seemed no manager wanted to take a chance on a club so close to relegation.
Over the events of the past week,the eyes of the entire world had been on this club and this club once remembered for it s fanatical supporters and dedicated footballers had shrunk into a Corrupt Establishment which no one could change.
Club Captain Nicky **** says he is ashamed that he plays for this club and says that this incident has left a black stain on the Glorius History of Newcastle United and has already announced his retirement come end of the season.
'What now'
thought Charlie
