Why are all these other clubs coming to us?

For their money? Leeds, Sunderland, Preston, etc...

I thought the ruling shows that it was not our fault that we went down, it was west hams fault for cheating, hence their fault

So why are they coming to us with their claims and not west ham?

Very simply, had we stayed up, we would've been paying them something extra.

It depends whether these payments have been factored into our settlement or whether we have had it written in that any subsequent claims should go directly to West Ham.

Well if its us that owe the clubs then first off, it should only be half the cost anyway

as 15 million is half of 30 million (what we get for staying up)

and we should only pay them at the same % and rate that west ham pay us

Latest claim....-)


"South London outfit Crystal Palace became the latest side to take legal action against West Ham today following the aftermath of the Carlos Tevez affair.

A palace insider said "the claim is based upon West Ham choosing to play their own properly registered player with a minor administrative error in his contract, who, even though he was only any good for the last six games of the season, still managed to single handedly keep them up. Northern non-entities Sheffield United were therefore relegated, causing their manager, Colin w***er, to resign. As a result of this resignation, Colin joined Crystal Palace, and our supporters have to watch match after match of dire long-ball dirge."

A number of palace supporters are thought to be seeking compensation for mental cruelty and inhumain and degrading treatment. However, some have received legal advice that it was their decision to live in South London in the first place.

Still, with it being an out-of-court settlement, then maybe the breakdown of costs that we submitted is no longer "in play"?

And so following on from that, had we stayed up a certain release clause wouldn't have been used, so I demand that Phil Jagielka be restored to the United first-team line up

So going on this, my mate Jamie who used to run Bosworths at the lane could claim due to his restaurant closing when we were relegated
