FA to investigate Sheffield United over Kabba Clause?

West Ham agreeably broke the rules of football and paid a massive sum of £5.2m a record fine for any club, and are still suffering to this day.

The FA should now hold inquiries into every club in all leagues regarding transfers and rules that have been broken, and especially rule U18.

Sheffield Utd without doubt broke this rule and influenced the outcome of the game between Watford and Sheffield Utd a clause was inserted into the transfer contract that Steve Kabba could not play for Watford in the game against Sheffield Utd.

The U18 rules says: “No club shall enter into a contract which enables any other party to that contract to acquire the ability materially to influence its policies or the performance of its teams in league matches or in any (other) competitions.”

So rule U18 was breached under this contract, McCabe has stated recently that Kabba not playing for Watford in that game was only a gentlemen’s agreement.

Both clubs Websites Sheffield Utd and Watford at the time had stated that Kabba was not playing in that game and the page has since been removed from Sheffield’s Website it did state:

"Meanwhile, in the Watford camp, striker Steven Kabba is ineligible to play in this weekend’s fixture due to a clause in his £500,000 move from Bramall Lane in January."

Sheffield United went on to win the game 1-0 and in the view of the FA Kabba not being involved in the game was a direct influence on the win.

Rule U18 was breached and investigations should commence by the FA into not only Sheffield Utd but also every club that made an agreement and clause that influences the outcome of a game by not fielding an important player after a transfer.

Without doubt?

In my legal experience, the evidence of "just because Martin Samuel said so" has never been accepted in a court of law.

Am I wrong in thinking that there was an investigation after fatty kicked up a fuss and they found that no such agreement existed? Hardly "without doubt" is it? The only evidence they can point to is our OS... they really don't realise how laughable that alone is!

Reading tea-leaves is often more informative than our OS!

The Southern-based media are used to making up "facts" to suit their own agenda... it seems that the southern-based public haven't quite got the hang of making it convincing.

I give this article a D (must try harder. You lose all credibility by insinuating that the injured and shite Steven Kabba was an "important player").

Kabba was that important he now finds himself playing at Blackpool and struggling to score.

Tevez on the other hand......is where?

This article is clutching at straws and they did investigate it when fatty Samuels mentioned it in one of his world class and 100% factual articles.

 

[Sensiblade]

Straws, Clutching & At spring to mind (Again!) :shakehead:

 

[Foxy]

Ignoring the fact that it didn't happen, Marlon King returning is conveniently forgotten in all this!

Wouldn't Watford be the guilty party for allowing it to happen?

I don't see any of the authorities gunning for Mr Joorabchien or MSI?

In all fairness, though, the PL would be in dereliction of their duties if they did not investigate this claim fully.

Oh, wait a minute - I believe they did. And also, that no clause was evident in the contract.

Let's just take the ground in lieu of the £30-£50m, then knock it all down and build a great big block of luxury flats called 'Tevez Tower' in the 'Cheats don't Prosper' Plaza!

A nice reminder for them all when they wander down Green Street

Another point worth mentioning is that if you compare the Kabba 'incident' to West Ham's concealment of the clause affecting Mascherano and Tevéz, you see that it was West Ham who got punished in their case - not the third party who could have influenced the players.

To take this to its logical conclusion, if we were guilty of having an agreement that said that Kabba couldn't play, it wouldn't be us who got punished anyway, but Watford - using the West Ham case to set precedent.

Therefore, they can stick that argument up their collective arse and blow bubbles with it.

 

[Linz]

... and to the even more basic fact, Steven Kabba was injured and could not play anyway...

Conspiracies are so much more interesting when they're plausible.

Shush don't tell West Ham fans that.
