When West Ham beat us earlier this season, Tevez was the difference between the 2 sides. He was an ineligible player and we should be awarded the points or WHAM should have the 3 points deducted. Personally, I hope they go down - 3 London clubs gone, more than happy with that.

What a disgrace. West Ham United should of been in the Championship today. Middlesbrough committed their sin in December and where found guilty in February, and rightly so.
Everyone new that this was a dodgy deal back in August. WHU new it as well. In effect they have now paid £5m for 2 players who would of cost £20m to £30m.
West ham are a fashionable establishment club along with Leeds United who also got off Scott free.
Boro, Rotherham and Bury are unfashionable northern clubs and where severely punished.
I smell corruption!

My opinion, the fine is fair.
Facts:
1) the players are eligible
2) the paperwork over "could a third party influence the league" was withheld by Brown et al.
3) NO third party HAD an influence in the league.
The fine is a deterrent to withholding paperwork, and is fair.

Middlesboro's punishment was for not playing a football match because the players were ill. 3 points off for gaining an unfair advantage, is neutral. It works as a deterrent e.g. Tottenham still played their last game of the season against West Ham last year.

The FA also has it correct with clubs going into administration. You may say its a business issue and therefore by the previous argument clubs shouldn't lose points.

For one, it seems senseless to fine a club with no money. But just imagine if a club folded during the season? What happens to the games played? Goals scored, yellow cards picked up clean sheets etc. And the games to be played against? How many points how by many goals by who scored etc etc...

These three punishments I think the league/FA have gotten right, you have to give them something some of the time!

Does anyone else think that the premierleague has missed a trick here? i.e. the future apprehension it may cause for the BEST South Americans in joining the league when they can instead go to Spain for example where they are more likely to be welcomed and loved without all the suspicion and deliberation over these transfers. I just think to many it will seem as they are not welcome to play here and are better off playing in Spain or other major leagues as we have seen over the last few decades.

This is likely to carry on this trend when it seemed it was beginning to sway towards the best South Americans coming over here instead of other leagues. This is emphasised by the huge fine which is disproportionate considering what other things are going on in this league!

'because in our finding the club has been responsible for dishonesty and deceit.'

How damning is that?

"The Club has not been found guilty of fielding an unregistered player and speculation about a likely points deduction has proved to be unfounded."
The report stated that Aldrich 'lied'. The people responsible have left the club and the current members of staff have been fined £5.5 million. I think they have suffered enough.

If I was the current owner of West Ham I would try and instigate legal proceedings against Terence Brown to get the money to cover the fine. Brown is in the same school as Risdale for ego-maniac chairman who ruin clubs.
