on on earth do FIFA do. Everytime something gets passed to them they pass the buck and just don't do anything.

Hope the CAS can sort this out pretty quick.

Re: Close Season Gossip & Rumour Thread
 

well if its proven that Tevez is still owned by that media company then West Ham is in trouble as they would've lied against the FA and hten they could get relegated.

tricky situation there....dont know how this is going to get resolved.

Re: Close Season Gossip & Rumour Thread
 

CAS isn't sorting it out, the high court is, might not be settled for quite a while

Re: Close Season Gossip & Rumour Thread
 

I doubt they'd get relegated as a punishment, it would be too complicated (unless it can be sorted before the start of next season). However a 10 or 12 point deduction for the 07/08 season could almost guarantee it for next season.

Don't bet on it, despite what the Daily Mail would have us believe, third party ownership isn't illegal, third party influence is, that is the clause that was removed last season and in going to court we are doing what the Premier League requested, it's not our fault if a higher court rules against us and this case could end up being as big as the Bosman one

Re: Close Season Gossip & Rumour Thread
 

I know FIFA said they couldn't deal with it and pass it to CAS but from what youare saying it seems they aren't going down that route.

i think part of the problem is that West Ham ripped up one contract and just create a new one and now MSI say the orig contract is still valid. I think might have got that wrong :dunce:

Re: Close Season Gossip & Rumour Thread
 

You have it right but if it's an issue why didn't Kia Joorbawhatever say anything in April? Also if a clause in a contract is illegal does that make the whole contract illegal? If so and we lose this case, Sheff Utd cannot fail to win an action against the Premier League for allowing us to play him. Or if it's only the clause in the contract was illegal and once removed, the contract became valid as has been muted, Kia is screwed and we get the cash, don't we? :spin:

Pure speculation really, I am no lawyer and don't have much of a clue regarding this issue but seeing as that doesn't stop Dave Whelan or the Daily Mail, who cares

Here is a link about CAS and the court case

I'm a bit disappointed by that. He looked like a prospect, given another chance. I was hoping that the loan spell in Italy would have given him some confidence...

Good Grief....It's the Community Shield on Sunday, and I haven't finished my Wimbledon strawberries yet, the close season seems to get shorter and shorter each year, or is time passing quicker :erm:
