If you believe West Ham his registration is fine now, as they came up with a deal that mutually beneficial for the club and the bloke who owned his registration before (Kia something or other). It was the previous regime at West Ham (including Pardew?) who commited the offence, so it would be harsh on the players, management and the new owners if all their hard work (you have to give them credit, they did look dead and buried at one point and to stay up is some achievement) was put to waste.

They could really rub it in and offer to sell Tevez to Sheffield United.

The punishment has been decided - the time for the protest was then, not 'wait and see how it finishes'

Quote from: "Tails"
The rules they broke aren't punishable by a points deduction though, and every single club agreed to the disciplinary sanction prior to the beginning of the season.

Tough shit really, should stop trying to blame their relegation on someone else.


I'm afraid that's a load of ill informed bollocks. The panel's own judgement reads at one point "ordinarily such offences would result in a points deduction".

It then goes on to list half a dozen reasons why they didn't apply a points deduction some of which are:

* It would threaten West Ham with relegation
* It would punish the fans and players who are innocent

Which I think you can paraphrase as:

"Blah blah blah blah bollocks....basically we bottled it because we thought West Ham and their new millionaire Icelandic Chairman might sue."

As I've said in a thread before the fact that we were originally relegated 2 divisions for fiddling our wages to get a few lower league cloggers on the cheap, whilst this lot run a contract fiddle to sign a couple of young south american world cup stars on the cheap, and aren't docked a single fucking point makes me fucking furious.

It seems to me that the richer clubs can get away with fucking murder, whilst clubs like ours get shafted. But hey if you're not bothered then fair enough.

Oh and the argument that the Tevez signing wasn't significant is an equally large pile of shite. Have you not read the papers for the last month! The man's won 4 or 5 games virtually single-handed.

Do you think if he was playing for Sheffield United or Charlton they wouldn't have picked up a few more points?

But they didn't have a chance to sign him did they because like West Ham they couldn't have dreamed of affording his transfer fee.

West Ham got around that by carrying out a deliberate fraud. They could not have signed him in a million years without that! There's probably about 12 points minimum that are directly attributable to that fraud.

How can anyone not think that's unfair?
