Ok i have to add this blog tonight...my mum (yes i know im 33) has reminded me i havent done one for a few days!!
Work has been hectic....I have barely had time to take in all the football news this week......the scandelous FA not only let west ham off with a fine but allowed tevez to play in the final few matches of the season providing they signed him properly...well excuse me but you are not allowed to sign players after 31st of march. I dont blame other clubs for challenging this ruling...sheffield utd and others dont deserve to suffer the concequences of someone else's mistake...
In 1997 i believe Middlesboro were docked points for....fielding an ineligible player! The FA ruled on west ham that it wasnt fair to the club and fans that they should be punished by a mistake by a previous regime at west ham - so why fine them???? In law when businesses change hands they become liable for all aspects of trading undertaken by that previous owner...including player registrations one would assume.
Another examply of the FA having favourites (was trevor brooking on the panel by any chance?) look at Swindon over a decade ago demoted by the FA, 2 years later Spurs did the same thing and....got a fine - sound familiar?
All other clubs need to stick together to get this reversed in courts if necessary and the FA need bringing up on a disripute charge.
