).According to their statement, Charlton negotiated with Sheffield United because the player was registered with us, not Luton, no matter who owned himHe played the first two games for luton this year and went on LOAN to sheffield united. You never owned him.

He was our player until the end of the season, just like when Tevez was at West Ham. The major difference being West Ham were not the ones who decided when or where Tevez could leave to, hence them being guilty of rule breaking. Sheff Utd and Luton appear to have played by the rules, hence Sheff Utd being the ones deciding when and where Spring could go to while he was a Sheff Utd registered player
(Nice try tho)
But the whole problem with Tevezgate is that West Ham had no right to say when/where he could go! If Sheff Utd entered into a deal with Luton to have Spring for one season, and Luton had built into the contract that they would retain the right to sell Spring as and when they liked, we would have done exactly what West Ham did! Kia Joorbicooba was the one that decided if and when Tevez should be sold, and that's what West Ham got fucked over and are still trying to cover up!Might be thier position but i reckon its wrong. Sheffield united have no right to say mathew spring can go anywhere other then back to luton.

Seems like Sheff Utd and Luton have been completely honourable in this deal...

'No club shall enter into a contract which enables any other party to that contract to acquire the ability materially to influence the club's policies or performance of its teams in matches and/or competition.'
If Pennant is on loan at Portsmouth then obviously they can't sell him can they!What a load of fucking old cock. So if Pompy decide to sell Pennent on, seeing as he's on-loan there then Liverpool have no say about it?
You don't have reach for some straws![]()
Yes but that's irrelevant as the contract stated he could move Tevez on whenever he wantedahem i think you'll find that kia paid us 2million to release tevez's registration early b4 he signed for man united.
Of course it's about Tevez! Why are the only people making an issue out of this West Ham fans?!But anyway this isn't about tevez. No deflecting allowed.
But it is allowed in the Championship to have clauses in contracts saying players cannot play against the club they've bought them off. I see no difference between us or Luton making this a clause seeing as we would both have to agree to let Spring go to LutonYOU HAD INFLUENCE OVER CHARLTON'S TEAM SELECTION AND ARE A THIRD PARTY.
I believe that is a Premier League rule, not an FA rule. Had West Ham not lied and cheated it would be a rule that still applied to usThe way the rule is phrased;

If anybody did anything wrong then yes, it would be Charlton, not Luton or Sheff Utd. But I think Fat Cunt Samuel's article pretty much guarantees it is all piss flying in the wind...Suggests that its Charlton who should be afarid though. As they entered the contract & its thier clubs policies in mtaches thats being effected.
Which is a pity. I'm still hoping for a conspiricy charge though for you lot.(if it doesn't exist it can be made up)

If Pennant is on loan at Portsmouth then obviously they can't sell him can they!
However, if Liverpool want to sell him, and assuming he is on a season long loan (which I think, unlike shorter loans, the parent club cannot terminate), then Liverpool would need the permission of Portsmouth to sell him and also whoever is buying him would need to transfer Pennant's registration to themselves from Portsmouth
I think it has more to do with player registration limits than on who actually owns the player. A player can only be registered so many times in a season and on specific dates. So it's not necessarily out of this world that in order to transfer Spring to Charlton there might have been two negotiations - one over the economic rights to the player, and the second over the registration of the playerIf, as you say, the loaning club cannot terminate a season long loan (and I very, very much doubt this to be the case) then it's still ridiculous to think that the loanee club - Sheff U in this case - should be able to demand any clauses inexchange for termination of said loan.
See above and the many Tevez related threads proving I know what I'm talking about

tommers, what have you started?

18 months! 18 MONTHS! That is how long I was ridiculed by you guys before it was eventually proved in court under sworn testimonies that I had been right all along and it was in fact all you West Ham supporters that didn't have a clue about it!It's great isn't it?
Rosie just said the Tevez threads prove he knows what he's going on about!
It's like we've never been away.
It's just a hurtful ploy to keep me from posting in the West Ham forumtommers, what have you started?

Erm don't you mean past? And don't ALL judges make, you know, judgements based on the evidence put before them?
Or until a mad old man decided that he could tell he future, for he was all-seeing.
http://www.sufc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10418~1533768,00.htmlSheffield United said:Sheffield United are 'frustrated' with the publication in a national newspaper of a story concerning the non-appearance of former player, Matthew Spring, in the FA Cup fourth round match against Charlton Athletic.
Earlier this month, the midfielder ended his loan deal with the Blades and returned to Luton, before transferring to Charlton.
The Addicks offered an arrangement whereby they would not play Spring in the cup match against his former club.
However, Daily Mail sport journalist Martin Samuel, continuing his reporting of the so-called Tevez affair, today suggested that Spring did not play 'on the basis of possible third party interference from Sheffield United'
"This is an outrageous article and wholly inaccurate. We have not broken any Football Association and Football League rules," said United Chairman Kevin McCabe.
"For some time now Mr Samuel - whether at The Times, his past employers, or at the Daily Mail where he now works - has pursued a crusade against Sheffield United," added Mr McCabe.
"As usual his reports are without foundation and I suggest he concentrates his time on reporting the truth rather than spurious allegations.
"I gather Martin is a West Ham supporter so, maybe, in some clumsy way, he believes his regular attacks on the Blades helps to protect their wrongdoings over the Tevez affair."
What?! Yes I am! The court ruled in our favour! It's already been decided that we won. All there is to discuss is how much compo we're owed. For all I know or care we might get nothing, but that does not alter the fact the court ruled in our favour and that West Ham cheated!Your not even close o vidicated yet about tevezgate mr rose.
If we get more then tickled by the next hearing(s) then and only then do i conceed and if we appeal then i still won't.

Lol! So a British court of law is a "kangeroo court", but a tribunal set up by a footballing authority somehow has a greater prestige!?i'm downloading stuff so cant google but NO.
Kangeroo court doesn't count. FA/EPL/UEFA/FIFA find us guility of anything other then the first offence(which we are very sorry for) and then I may decide you might have had a point.
