There is no getting away from the fact that apart from our position in the Premier League September and October 2008 will be months we will all want to forget.
Landsbanki Bank being taken over by the Icelandic Government in a bid to stop the economy spiralling into further turmoil, Sheffield United winning its arbitration hearing which could cost West Ham upto £30m.
The good news is that the CAS are willing to hold a hearing on the Tevez case originally only if Sheffield Utd agree and if they do not agree then the CAS will want specific reasons why not! in the mean time West Ham will audit the books of Sheffield Utd to find the exact validation of its loss in being relegated to the CCC
The other good news is that, the West Ham legal boffs are seeking possible permission from FIFA to take the case to the High Courts in a bid to reverse the decision of the FA arbitration panel with its findings that Tevez alone is the cause of Sheffield Utd’s relegation.
