Nobody likes us, we don't care!
SUFC said:Sheffield United confirms that it has received the arbitration award in relation to the proceedings regarding the disciplinary decision, date 27 April 2007, in the Tevez affair.
We are pleased that the tribunal rejected the Premier League's contention that we were not entitled to challenge that disciplinary decision.
We note that the tribunal in response to that challenge, decided not to overturn the disciplinary commission's decision, despite concluding that they would in all probability have deducted points from West Ham had they been hearing the case themselves.
We are obviously very disappointed by this conclusion, in particular in circumstances where the tribunal recognised that the outcome of the decision turned out to be "unfortunate in the extreme," and that Sheffield United have done nothing wrong to merit this outcome.
We are currently considering these findings with our professional advisers. It would be inappropriate for us to comment further until we have had the opportunity - properly - to consider the reasons the tribunal has given for its decision.
We are indebted to the support we have received from supporters and professional individuals in relation to our Campaign for Fairness, particularly those with no prior Sheffield United allegiance, and for the support given to us (whether or otherwise) by fellow clubs.
WHU said:The following is a statement from Eggert Magnusson, Chairman of West Ham United Football Club...
"We are happy that this matter is finally closed and all parties can now move on. The arbitration panel's decision is very clear and reflects what we have believed all along.
"West Ham United have been preparing for next season in the Premier League since the final whistle at Old Trafford in May and we will continue to do so.
"I would like to reiterate that Carlos Tevez is a registered West Ham United player with a playing contract that still has three years remaining on it, and that situation remains unchanged."
It's stuff like this that sticks in the throat!
"The tribunal said they had "sympathy" with the Blades, while West Ham had been "deliberately deceitful" and yet remained in the Premier League."
They're basically saying "Yes, WHam cheated and SUFC are in the right but there's nothing we can do as the PL covered their tracks!"
RIGHT,
we've been through it, we felt the pain, we were hopeful, we werent abusive (Not all of us anyway) our chairman did what he thought was right for the good of the club, supporters and team. Its no doubt cost us more than will ever be identified, and the ruling was no different to the original one. Most of us expected that, all of us were hopeful that maybe just maybe we might get a little of the green out of this whole debarcle.
At the end of the day the Prem were never gonna loose as that would be as good as admitting that they were wrong. Noone knows, we may have even got a little settlemment out of it that noone knows about (Hardly likely but we can dream). The point is that its over and done with now, thenk you very very much chairman, thank you for persuing the cause.
BUT we appreciate that we as well as everyone else knows that the ultimate ruling is wrong, the prem have made a complete hash of everything, couldnt organise a piss up in a brewery, etc etc etc, but please please please unless you can find something or some loophole that means we are almost 99.999999999% guaranteed a result in favour of us, let it lie. We need to start and make sure that the team is absolutely ready for the up and coming season, we need to replace players that are leaving, we need to recruit new players to as cover for the players that have left and for the first team should we get injuries.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE .......................LETS MOVE FORWARD
on a lighter note, and in addition to what ive just posted, lets win the league this season. The winner last season got a reported £70m, so lets go all out and win this season, not runners up, and reap the benefits
Also, as most of you would have gathered, I'm in the claret & Blue camp as far as the arbitration goes but I'm not here to gloat. Frankly, the summary from the panal released today seemed even more bizarre than the original disciplinary report. To offer conjecture on whether or not they would've deducted points had they heard the original disciplinary has no place in this report, as it was not the remit of the arbitration panal to decide the punishment.
Best of luck for the coming season people, if McCabe releases some of the £850m he's pulled in this week you should be in for a good year.
Where did you get that figure from? That's higher than the premier league prize money. If you include subsequent television money that arises from promotion it still wouldn't come near 70m.QUOTE]
It was stated by a number in a number of different medias (And by that i dont mean the press) that the promotion would be worth an estimated £70m, sorry i should have been more clear, that wasnt the prize money, that was what the promotion was worth to a club.
Anywho, after clearing that up, and to echo SF's comment, i too apreciate speaking to the more intelligent members of the WHU fan base. Yourself and Sendo, who im sure will be on here at some point, will be welcomed by myself as your sides of the arguments are always well thought out and put across.
