Some bad news just came in from the FA & Premier League.

FA/Premier League statement

The Premier League and The FA are to institute a joint inquiry into the views expressed by the Independent Arbitral Tribunal chaired by Lord Griffiths in September 2008, which dealt with a compensation claim by Sheffield United against West Ham United brought under FA Rules.

The joint inquiry will examine whether the conduct of West Ham United immediately after the Independent Disciplinary Commission’s decision of 27 April 2007 amounted to further breaches of Premier League or FA Rules.

A statement from WHUFC to Talksport said:

“We have acted in good faith throughout the various inquiries and investigations into this matter and fulfilled the undertakings given to the Premier League following the initial penalty.

“We have nothing to hide and will ensure that this is once again reflected in our evidence to the FA and Premier League.”

When does it all end??

For those who read the earlier post on COYI today stating that Gartside is an absolute idiot for his claims that West Ham robbed Bolton of 3 points for fielding Tevez in the season 2006/07 game at Upton park will have noticed the comments made from various Bolton fans showing their disgust at Gartside.

I have been a bolton fan all my life, and I have to totally agree with all the other comments. Cartside is an absolute disgrace to the club and the term “football”. Scores should be settled on the pitch, and not in boardrooms/courts where greedy chairmen look for any excuses to line their pockets with even more money. Goes to show what poor character Gartside has as he is now considering selling the club to overseas investment, even though he has spent all his “professional” life ridiculing foreign investment. Let’s hope we do are talking on the pitch this weekend, and have a good game for once.

It is good to see that the Bolton fans have far more intelligence than their chairman, and that football is for the fans and not the courts.

West Ham United v Bolton Wanderers should prove to be a great match and a win for either club will be more beneficial than a measly £700,000 would ever do.

Phil Gartside is without doubt a very sad little character for claiming his teams defeat to West Ham in the 2006/07 season cost his club £700,000 in the end of league standing.

West Ham United will of course dispute this case and hopefully make the Bolton chairman look like the idiot that he is.

Phil Gartsides said:

“There is an argument to say we can claim three points from West Ham,”

“We went down there and lost 3-1, Tevez scored two and it cost us £700,000 because that was one place in the league.

“If Sheffield United are successful and get a claim then why shouldn’t we?”

Bolton finished 7th in the league that season with a total of 56 points and that is 2 points behind Everton, now lets take Tevez out of the picture, the score stands at 1-1!! which gives Bolton 1 extra point, still finishing in 7th place.

What grounds does this Idiot have for claiming 3 points.

I guess Bolton must need the publicity, it is just a shame they never get it from the games they play.

Sunday’s match against Bolton will prove the kind of silly damage he has caused his club with such a pathetic claim.
