West Ham fined 5.5 MILLION.

If there was no precedent then why did the FA say that points would normally be deducted in a case like this but not in this case because west ham might be relegated?

Good article, that.

yeah, it explains it all very well.

The most annoying thing about all this is the whelan, mccabe and co are shouting very loudly. Unfortunately they don't seem to have understood the actual facts of the case but cos they're shouting so loudly people who aren't as interested / obsessed by it as myself end up believing stuff that isn't true.

Hence a chain letter being sent to people on a sheff utd website foaming at the mouth about "ineligible players" and how west ham have been found guilty of the same offence as bury and aldershot.

it doesn't help that the press also, by and large, haven't understood what the actual facts of the case are. People just seem to be stoking each other up into more and more righteous indignation, all based on inaccurate statements.

IMO. obviously.

when and where did they say that?

anyway as a supporter of Special Dispensation FC you really should keep quiet, atleast West Ham's actions won't see the whole league relegated!:p
 
They said they would have docked points if they had got off their arses in January to investigate it but because they decided to wait until now they won't dock points cos it will upset the West Ham fans...

They said it in their official ruling, you're one to talk about special dispensation after fergie picked the everton team the other week.

I make you right tommers. Too many people don't understand the facts of the case (including myself if I'm honest, before I read that article). My stance on it has always been, regardless of which rules have been broken and how, that West Ham have been punished, and whether you agree with the punishment or not doesn't matter, you should accept the decision.
 
Oh well, there's no Euros or World Cup over the summer so we need so source of footy action otherwise we'd all get really bored!!!

:D
