Raj Posted 3 July 2007 Posted 3 July 2007 Desicion day for sheffield united, does anyone seriously think they will win? (except sheff u) More chance of it NOT raining in July! (hope that makes sense??...If not i meant to say NO Fcuking chance will the FA relegate West Ham and reinstate Sheff U...NO CHANCE.....surely?
chili_con_carne Posted 3 July 2007 Posted 3 July 2007 Theres a chance Sheff Utd will be reinstated to the Prem but without West Ham going in the other direction. (21 teams in Prem)
Toby or not Toby Posted 3 July 2007 Posted 3 July 2007 i hope they dont get re-instated i hate them with a passion
David Villa Posted 3 July 2007 Posted 3 July 2007 I cant stand West Ham fooking cockney mugs, they are a shit club shit fans and they only know one song, ow know two songs "your not fit to wear the shirt". I would love them to go down and then there new signings would look stupid.
Head Honcho Posted 3 July 2007 Posted 3 July 2007 Theres a chance Sheff Utd will be reinstated to the Prem but without West Ham going in the other direction. (21 teams in Prem) That has no hope whatsoever! The Premier League is a corporation made up of 20 teams and I'm sure it would be impossible for them to change that overnight even if they wanted to.

S1DDO Posted 3 July 2007 Author Posted 3 July 2007 Nothing will change, west ham up, sheff u down. Its been a farce from day one.
Simi Posted 3 July 2007 Posted 3 July 2007 I think everyone knows what the decision shall be. I'm even willing to make a TBJS sort of claim
Simi Posted 3 July 2007 Posted 3 July 2007 Does anyone know when it will be 'announced' Pretty soon I think. Have SSN on if you can.
lookwhaticando Posted 3 July 2007 Posted 3 July 2007 Next stop: European Court of Justice or whatever they call it now.
Guest Posted 3 July 2007 Posted 3 July 2007 Next stop: European Court of Justice or whatever they call it now. It'd take too long. Oh dear.
Blue Bob Posted 3 July 2007 Posted 3 July 2007 Next stop: European Court of Justice or whatever they call it now. All they could do is give financial compensation not re-instate them to the premier league.
Geo V Posted 3 July 2007 Posted 3 July 2007 I think Sheff utd will end up with some crazy mega compensation package and all will be forgotten. They havent got that manygood players to lose anyway to be fair so they`ll keep most of the squad with maybe the exception of Kenny and Jagielka. Players like Tonge, Stead and Hulse are over-rated and always flatter to decieve and on top of all that they have a mug for a manager in Robson. Back them for reegation
Blue Bob Posted 3 July 2007 Posted 3 July 2007 Sounds like they were unlucky. The appeal said that the origional decision was taken to fine instead of deduct points as they thought West Ham were going to be relegated anyway. But they then went on a good run and managed to stay up.
act smiley Posted 3 July 2007 Posted 3 July 2007 Absolute, fooking joke. All this says is that if you've got a big wallet and a fanbase in London, you can do whatever you like regardless of how badly against the rules it is, it stinks. Sheffield Utd'll probably keep on with their legal battle and win a few million compensation, but the fact that West Ham have made so much money out of cheating is absolutely disgusting.

Nick Posted 3 July 2007 Posted 3 July 2007 Spot on. I never thought for a moment they would be re-instated, however I did think they would be compensated with a few million following a review. The problem is that the FA will look like more of a joke if the enquiry had stated they deserved anything at all. The European Court in my opinion will undermine the decision prompting another lengthy legal process into next season. I feel bad for them with the flooding an all.......I really, really do.
davieG Posted 6 July 2007 Posted 6 July 2007 From Sky Sheffield United have confirmed they will appeal to the High Court over the Carlos Tevez affair after failing in their last bid to get reinstated to the Premier League. The Blades saw their fight to be reinstated into the Premier League ended earlier this week after an arbitration panel upheld the verdict not to dock West Ham any points over the controversial signings of Tevez and Javier Mascherano. United have now accepted they will be playing in the Championship next season, but they are looking for substantial compensation and will go to the High Court later this month to plead their case. Bramall Lane chairman Kevin McCabe confirmed the club are going to the High Court on July 13th to launch their appeal. "I believe the commercial courts, as we call them, will look at the ingredients of this case more differently than the independent commission of the arbitration panel," McCabe told Sky Sports News. "Yes I suspect it cannot be with a view to reinstatement I think that is overcome now. "It is very much now a case against the Premier League rather than before it was the Premier League and West Ham. "So if we are able to get leave to take this to the High Court I suspect we will." McCabe believes United have a good case for substantial compensation as they are set to miss out on the windfall of playing in the Premier League. "I think anyone who looks at it and says one club has been wronged - ie Sheffield United - the only recourse open now to make that wrong right is financial," added McCabe. "If you say the play-off game is worth £60million if you recognise Sheffield United's average crowd last season was around 31,000 with full boxes, full restaurants every week, the broadcasting income I suspect you are saying around £50million. "We do get a sum of money as parachute payments." McCabe says the club are now planning for life in the Championship and mounting a serious bid challenge for promotion. "Common sense overtakes integrity I am afraid, so we are now working as a Championship team with Bryan Robson getting his squad sorted out for a real challenge come next season," concluded McCabe.
