The PL are now threatening this if WHAM can't prove that they would be the main recipient of Tevez transfer cash. About time, but too late for us! Just our luck, too, that Sheff U will get shedloads of compensation from the High Court, making them odds on for promotion...

Not only to they get away with a bucket load of luck, Wham will also receive a cracking payment for the player !!!
Well, I suppose if WHAM tore up the agreement, they might find it difficult to argue otherwise.
What a ludicrous mess.
This time surely there's no escape for the cheats?
Do you not think that was also part of why he fell out with them? (OK, I know the other speculation too.) Pardew's whole attitude and demeanour was that he was plainly unhappy to have the two Argies on board - perhaps he was well aware of how dodgy it all was.
Pards won't touch this one with a barge pole!!! Although, if this does end up in court then he will be quite likely to be called on to give evidence. However, as I understand it the High Court is only ruling on whether or not the Blades can appeal the PL panel ruling, its not a court case in itself.
in real terms we do not really have a case for compo as we were second bottom with a fair points difference so just let them sort it out and move forwards we are here and we will win this comp to be put back where we belong after rebuilding a great pasionate team of players...
Agree with all your sentiments though

If West Ham are found not to have terminated the agreement legally after the PL's request at the first hearing, then playing Tevez when he would otherwise not have been cleared to play means that West Ham should be docked points for EACH game Tevez played in subsequently?
At one stage we had pulled ourselves well clear of them. However once they jumped above us again, it seemed as though we knew it was curtains and our chance had gone.
In the end we finished second bottom some points off safety but that shouldn't disguise the fact that it did have an impact on our season.
We should definately be instructing our lawyers to start preparing our case for a compensation claim alongside Sheff Utd.
How about the PL's negligence in the first place in simply accepting the word of one T Brown who said that there were no TP contracts in place. Two World Class footballers are suddenly parachuted into West Ham in the last hours before the end of the transfer deadline. Players who would cost millions if purchased outright. They were loaned by somebody (and presumably it would be easy to find out who it wasn't, i.e the club they came from?). Yet West Ham denied there was any agreement - Brown lied to Scudamores face. The only basis of the PL's scrutiny then is "we asked them to confirm the position". No wonder they are in a mess!! Those leading the PL are total and utter twats and they should be shot for their mishandling of this matter right from the start.
Same as it ever was. If the verdict goes against them, they should all resign. But they wont of course, a tea boy might get the push, but the high rollers will carry on earning, and keep their heads down for a bit. Then in years to come, write books and do "amusing", well paid after dinner speeches about the whole sorry affair.
