Matty 0 Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 For all the Tevez and Mascherano dealings... No points deducted though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donaldstott 0 Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Stating the bleedin obvious, but that is a huge fine.. Football fines are usually pathetic!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetleftpeg 0 Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Bottled the points deduction, which is the usual punishment. If West Ham stay up, either Wigan or Sheff Utd will go ape shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty 0 Posted April 27, 2007 Author Share Posted April 27, 2007 Apparantly the FA can terminate Tevez' contract if they decide it would be correct. Hmmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 27805 Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Who were the last team to be fined points? Boro? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty 0 Posted April 27, 2007 Author Share Posted April 27, 2007 Tevez can play for them for the rest of the season now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetleftpeg 0 Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Who were the last team to be fined points? Boro? In the PL yes. Quite rightly imo, cheating bastids. They obviously didn't want the headache that would be caused by a point deduction as West Ham would appeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I guess their worst case scenario was a point deduction and West Ham only getting relegated because of the deducted point. It would have created a huge uncertainty. So yes, I think they have chickened out... But to be fair, the penalty is really hefty and probably equates with the sum of all fines for wrongdoing from UEFA and FIFA of the last two decades...

ewerk 39291 Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 £5.5m is very fucking steep, especially considering that it will be the new owners paying it and not the guys who actually signed him. Now if UEFA would only follow suit with the racists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Although I don't mind West Ham, it would be canny funny if they now went down anyway (which they probably will imo). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, £5.5m for not declaring something on a transfer, a couple of thousand pounds if you racially abuse players/fix matches/hoy burning mopeds at away fans..

ewerk 39291 Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 On a related note how unfortunate have West Ham been with Upson? He's played 41 minutes for them since signing for £6m and reportedly has a relegation release clause in his contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manc-mag 1 Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 From a purely toon point of view I'm happy when any Southern club exits the prem tbh. Should have whacked them for points as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo 175 Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Just said on Talksport that the fine would have been £8m-£9m had West Ham not pleaded guilty to all charges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kin of puts the 300k Chelsea were fined for tapping up Ashley Cole into perspective. Whilst clearly the clubs can't control racism, it would only take a fine of similar magnitude to stop it dead. It would probably cause security to be tightened in the San Siro, to stop the moped getting in there in the first place.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMoog 0 Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 You know why they fined them so much don't you, to cover the cost of what Shep's trying to get out of them in payment for crocking Owen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Shearer Is God 0 Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Didnt think Tevez could play for them again this season unless they bought his contract off the 3rd party by 12 noon tomorrow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
