JAKARTA (AFP) - The organisers behind Indonesia's Java Cup said on Wednesday they will sue English football club Everton and Turkey's Galatasaray after the teams withdrew from the tournament.

Everton said on Tuesday it was forced to abandon plans to play the pre-season tournament, stating 'unresolved issues mean that the risk of travelling was too great.' The withdrawal came one day after Galatasaray, forcing the inaugural Java Cup, which was scheduled for July 26-29, to be postponed indefinitely.

'(The) consequences of the cancellation for Everton is (they) pay back all the damages,' Mr Patrick Mbyaya, a lawyer representing the tournament, told a press conference.

'We will also contact the England Football Association to give disciplinary (sanctions) to Everton. If they refuse to pay back, we'll take this to the Court of Arbitration for Sports (in Switzerland),' he said. The lawyer added the same applied to Galatasaray.

Didn't they fail to make adequate safety provisions for the travelling teams? They can eat a d**k. Not sure if my judgement is legally binding though.

If you arrange to play a game in a Coffee Cup, you deserve to be sued.

Unfortunately for us fans we will now have to sell our entire first team (excluding Neville) to Fenerbahce.

Wouldn't have thought they'd have a leg to stand on.

I'd have thought that taking agreed steps to guarantee players safety was part of any contractual obligation on the part of the organisers. If they hadn't breached them, we'd still be going.

They can suck my hood.

It's Galatasaray that they should be suing - their withdrawal (followed by not finding an alternate) has caused this - as things stand what would be the point in Everton showing up for a non-tournament?

 

[Deloodid]

Im sure its a standard letter they have done so its looks like to the Indonesian's that they are not at fault, as they clearly are from what we have read.

was gonna say that, Galatasary pulled out then the Organisers couldn't confirm our fixtures, then said Nacional from Uruguay were going, Everton contact them and they know nothing of it.

Club have said they will reimburse fans who have gone over there.

You eat tarantulas you smelly f*cks so pipe down like.

On a side-note, those people are total bellends, they give you dirty looks if you disrespect their culture by refusing to eat a menagerie of ridiculous crap that Bear Grylls would shove down his pipe just to survive.
