Sheva Staying Put, Or: Berlusconi Has Never Been Very Good With Rules
By: Martha | November 13th, 2006
You know how, just days ago, Milan bigwig Silvio Berlusconi was making noise about how Sheva might be on his way back to Milan as early as January? Well, never mind. Seems old Silvio forgot to check his Serie A rule book, because no matter how badly Sheva wants to return to Italy, unless Ukraine joins the EU in the next month or so it’s not going to happen. As I understand Serie A rules (what with the endless rumored and real corruption in Italian football, the thought of restrictive “rules” is at least a little amusing), each club can only transfer in one non-EU player from abroad every year, and Milan have already shot their wad in that department. Who did they bring in, you ask? None other than Sheva’s brilliant replacement, Ricardo Oliveira. Sigh. As if it wasn’t frustrating enough to be denied the fantasy of Sheva’s return, the reason he can’t (theoretically) come back is a cocky, useless player. Ain’t that always the way?
That said, don’t lose hope yet, Milan fans: Given his performance as Prime Minister, I wouldn’t put it past Berlusconi to magically get the rules changed, or at the very least pry open a Sheva-sized loophole.
