Agen Klik4D  ~   The Dutch Football Association has banned FC Twente, the former club of Steve McClaren, from European competitions for three years.

Twente have been slapped with the suspension after violating transfer regulations.

The Royal Netherlands Football Association accused the 2010 Eredivisie champions of “deliberately misleading” them in a deal to sell player transfer fee rights to an outside investor.

FIFA has banned third-party ownership of players because of their risk to the integrity of the game - effectively turning it into a money-making business.

But Twente have breached that rule after it was revealed that they had sold transfer fee rights for seven of their players to a Malta-based company named Doyen Sports Investments.

Doyen are a well-known name in football, as they own Neymar's image rights while they also made a profit from Eliaquim Mangala's transfer to Manchester City in 2014.

Bandar Judi Online Klik4D  ~    Twente qualified for the Champions League four years in a row between 2008 and 2012, but they will no longer be able to take part in the competition should they once again qualify.

The ban also applies for the Europa League, which they are not currently playing in.

Twente confirmed that they would not be appealing the charges.

A statement read: “The core of our football club is being hit hard. In coming seasons we will not be allowed to participate in European football, which hurts. 

“However we respect the opinion of the license commission and accept the penalties imposed. We therefore draw no appeal.”
