Caso Ferreira
Caso Ferreira is the name given by Valladolid press to the lived scandal because of FIFA at Winter. During the Winter transfer window, Real Valladolid made official the transfer of the Uruguayan striker (who played in Bolivian Club Bolívar) William Ferreira during the night of January 31 to February 1, at the last hours of the transfer window. Once the player had moved to the city, after being introduced as a new signing and when he was about to be convened in early February, FIFA told Real Valladolid that the transfer had been completed after the deadline ended up, after 23:59 CEST on 31 January. Although Real Valladolid tried to prove it was a computer error, coming to claim the Higher Arbitration Court, his request was denied and the player was forced to return to Bolivia. Carlos Suárez, Real Valladolid president, said that he didn't rule out further bids for the striker in Summer, and was very unhappy with FIFA.
