PL Trial Verdict: £5.5m fine, no pts deducted, Tevez safe

[Harveys_HammersLH]

Look Hammerman, I don't sit alongside Eggy taking notes but word is that the Chairman did a deal that allows us time to get Joorabchian's consent on a contract amendment. As the PL are in unchartered waters they allowed us time to sort it out while stating they are well within their rights to cancel it without any notice.

See now that's better than "he did a deal ".

Thank you.

I'm glad to oblige you ungrateful sod.

So as it stands Tevez can play tomorrow correct?

[Boogers Caravan Blues]

Why is it the panel seemed to believe the Premier League hearsay while not West Ham's? Pot and Kettle me thinks

[Trap1]

Your last post is a classic Harv!

Yes he can play.

I read that aswell. That bint admitted she got confused what day and wrote a note after the event that actually affected us. When was the note written? Yesterday? Who knows?

Personally I thought we would have had a huge fine and a points deduction.

What it shows up is the poor state the transfer system is still in. All these "undisclosed" transfers dont help either.

I think that during the summer the PL will change a few things to tighten the ship. Starting with their own proceedures I hope. As they admitted they knew something wasnt right in August.

According to Sky News 7.00pm, Tevez is likely to play tomorrow, and MSI are playing ball with a short term loan deal

[Antwerp_Lad]

****ing FA, this is a disgrace.
I agree, 5.5 million is reasonable, seeing as we could easily have been fined the double.
But remember Inter v AC Milan in the Champions League, when Inter-fans threw flares that hit Dida ?

They got fined a pathetic 100.000, we get 55 times that much...

[Italian Hammer]

Once our premiership status is known the sh*t is well and truly going to hit the fan.

Eggy aint impressed and our legal team are currently digesting the apparently baffling reasons for levying a £5.5m fine.

This one is going to appeal.

I suspect this is one egg that eggy won't lay to rest

Can see this dragging on for some time with the lawyers queing up outside UP.

[dmyeo66]

Tis a mess a mess I say.

Let the hunt for Aldridge and Brown commence.

[hhammerhead]

According to Sky News 7.00pm, Tevez is likely to play tomorrow, and MSI are playing ball with a short term loan deal

still saying he's currently illegible and that we have until noon tomorrow to register him properly

[garyloz]

This has probably been said already (but I can't be bothered to wade through 33 pages) but we are bound to appeal and get the fine reduced for playing ball and holding our hands up. Didn't Alan Sugar do the same thing at Spurs when Irving Scholar and co dropped him it? As I recall their fine and points deduction was reduced.

Then surely he'll sue the knackers off Brown for not disclosing the full facts of the deal when he was preparing to buy the club.
I imagine when Eggy was looking at the books and writing the cheque for £100 mill Brown didn't say: "Oh just one other thing, that Argie deal is as crooked as Steve Bruce's nose. You might want to look into that"

and that the fans are in no way to blame ....phew !

[Ozza]

Disgusting!

UNbelievably (or not), we get hammered for this while those cnuts from West London who openly tap up players (and that has to be one of the worst things to do) walk away with a 300k fine!!

****'s me off, ****ing PL league

and while there at it, after screwing us for the cost of a top international on a four year contract, let's throw in the uncertanty of not letting the best player play.

****ing cnuts all of them

The difference with Sugar was that he brought the wrongdoing to the League's attention as soon as he became aware of it. West Ham have always maintained their innocence, until we pleaded guilty.

Aldridge and Brown will argue that they were acting on the legal advice that they received at the time, from Duxbury and co. The Premier League are accusing Aldridge of lying, by claiming there were no further documents relating to 3rd party ownership and Duxbury of incompetence(sp? ) as he claimed to be unaware of Rule U18 which they were "suprised" at, bearing in mind his experience within football transfers.

one thing that confuses me over this whole can tevez play or not is how the hell mascherano isnt mentioned?

spose it's because he's no longer here and his contract has been done correctly at the mickies

[chimchimcheroo]

Because Mascherano only started 3 games and had hardly any influence on our results. Liverpool co-operated fully with the Premier League to secure his loan move and re-registered him, and they are Liverpool.
