I know but even £100k would have been a massive sum to a club who were skint. If did something similar to West Ham now and got a fine not points loss we'd be proper screwed about £50 would put us on the back foot. I think you missed the irony in Dave's post, Matt  :groan1: Man Flu has affected my ability to type and read.

to be fair, 500k was a lot of money in 1900 Yes it was, in fact £10 was a lot of money in 1900!

Interesting development :
Fifa will investigate Tevez saga
Fifa is to investigate whether West Ham should have been docked points for breaching rules over the signings of Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano...

But they broke the rules - which were there for a reason...
Imagine if Chelsea do this for the new season, a fine is nothing...

If WHU are deducted points it will be from the start of next season now?

west ham were found guilty of breaking the rules,it could be argued that the punishment wasn't harsh enough. plus the player that almost single handedly kept up west ham is the reason they did break the rules. i can understand why sheff utd are bitter about it. that said i dont give a monkeys either way.but i quite like neil warnock,he's honest and tells it like it is

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 think as far as the other clubs are concerned its been dealt with, so they should shut up, especially Warnock; just cause he hasa column on BBC website he thinks everyone should agree with what ever he says .
however, whats effectively happened is WHU have been charged 5.5 million for Tevez, which sounds like a bargain to me - wouldn't have thought you would get a lot of change out of 20 if you wanted to buy him - plus they have just been paid more than that for staying up. Basically the premier league haven't really thought through the penalty, so its been dealt with, but dealt with in a characteristically cack way.

Punishment on WHU not harsh enough from the FA. But they took what they were given got on with the job and stayed up. I would prefer to see WHU in the prem than Sheff utd they are shit and consequently went down

plus at the time everyone was very much 'ooh 5.5 million, thats a lot, especially since they are sure to go down - EPL have been quite harsh'. having pulled themselves out of the shit now, it looks like they have done quite well out of it.
I do wonder what happens if they flog tevez off - presumably they don't actually own him, regardless of what they say now. could cause some problems ?
