anyone know the answer ?

when you say play on do you mean form the date he joined west ham or from the date they were fined?

here is the ruling

www.premierleague.com/public/downloads/publications/PL270407final.txt


most important parts are

West Ham admit cheating

By Rule U18 (which is to be found in a section

15 headed "Miscellaneous"):

16 "No club shall enter into a contract which enables

17 any other party to that contract to acquire the ability

18 materially to influence its policies or the performance

19 of its teams in league matches or in any (other)

20 competitions."

21 It is those two Rules that West Ham have now

22 admitted being in breach.


And this shows that had west ham been mid table points would almost certainly been deducted

there has been a delay between the discovery

10 of these breaches and these proceedings. Whilst that

11 delay is due to no party's fault, the consequence is

12 that a points deduction, say in January, whilst

13 unwelcome, would have been somewhat easier to bear than

14 a points deduction today which would have consigned the

15 club to certain relegation.


But what i see is perfect reasons for teams to sue west ham as not only have they cheated and admitted it but a punishment was given that according to the people that gave the punishment does not fit the crime.

the real question is why did it take so long for the fa and premier league to realise that something was wrong?

Blades confident of reinstatement

anyone know why nothing has been said about Mascherano, was his deal different?

Fuckers should have dropped it months ago. They were shite over the course of 38 games, and they deserved to go down, Tevez or no Tevez. I'm with West Ham on this one.
