DISQUS

I still don't see anything happening over it. Yeah, it was mishandled, but the entire Premier League agreed to the method of handling it. I still think it is a leap to jump from that to saying that that is responsible for W. Ham being relegated.

The punishment was just. Anyone saying otherwise doesn't know or understand the f*cking case. Whatever, I'm done listening to the West Ham bashing. We deserve to stay up, end of story.

West Ham broke the regulations concerning the two Argentinians transfer. This illegal action proved to give them an advantage over the other relegation candidates. They were fined heavily, because the FA recognised the enourmity of their cheating. However the punishment didn't fit the crime, a fact recognised by everyone except W.Ham and it's fans. Justice demands that a transgressor should not benefit from a crime. If justice is served, West Ham should lose at least 3 points, and therefore be relegated. The argument that it was a former regime at the club that was at fault, holds no water, as the present regime benefitted from that illegal act. The best message the FA could send to all transgressors is to relegate them, and reinstate the innocent party that paid the real price of cheating administrators.

Question: Over the whole season was the argies arrival at upton park more of an advantage or a dis-advantage to the Hammers?


Question: Will Sheffield United now set out every season banking on someone else getting points deducted so they can survive?



Statement. The SUFC chairman is making his club a laughing stock. He doesnt understand the case, the crime or the punishment.



There has never been a points deduction for off-the-field third-party technicalities. only fines.



STOP youre whinging and get on with the fizzy pop league because you were simply not good enough for the Premiership.

There is no set precedent for the offence committed and the so the punushment handed out was the first of it's kind. it WASN'T about Tevez's registration as a West Ham player.


THAT has never been in dispute, even FIFA have said it was ok.



It is Sheffield trying to get a decision by Media

you can tell only west ham fans come on this site!!!!!!!!!


I am a sheffield united fan and proud. I will be going to all the matches if possible next season no matter what league we are in.



I believe that we were not good enough for the premiership as we did techical go down.



But the arguement is would west ham have stayed up if tevez was playing in just the last few games after the punishment. Answer is no you would have finished below us. So why were west ham allowed to register someone outside of a transfer window??



That is unfair, and is what I believe should not have been allowed

Let's not forget that West Ham were gifted three points against Blackburn due to incompetent officials. Where would they be if not for that?...

Just suppose West Ham hadn't had such a shocking start to the season but all the Tevez stuff still came out. What if they had played like they did the season before and were challenging for a UEFA cup spot? Can you imagine Spurs, Bolton, Everton, Reading, Portsmouth and Blackburn being happy with the way it was all handled. What if West Ham had nicked the fourth Champions League spot from Arsenal? Do you really think they would just "take it on the chin" and "get on with it"? The fact that it's a relegated club that are complaining just makes it easier to discount. It doesn't make it right or just.

I think the shocking story to all of this is the fact that there was no penalty in place before this whole mess ever happened.


My personal opinion is that nothing will change next season, but they need to add on the books that if you caught with an illegal player, all points in matches said player played in will be deducted. It's the only redeeming thing that can come out of this whole mess.

You complete knob head. It gave West Ham a DISADVANTAGE not an advantage. Tevez was legitimately registered let's get that sorted first. What West Ham were guilty of was that they left themselves open to being forced to sell Tevez when they didn't want to. How the hell is that an advantage to them????
