I think the theory there is, "Always ask for more than you know you might get".
The premier league has thrown their case out, an abitration panel has voted against their case, and I think the High Court will follow suit, unless McCabe knows otherwise, plus the hammers have been fined 5.5 million pounds, however,

The three-man arbitration panel, headed by retired High Court judge Sir Philip Otton, did not have the power to change West Ham's punishment but could have ordered a new independent commission to judge the case.

As one decision was not possible, but the next best thing was possible but not granted, usually means, "You are wasting your time".
The only thing I don't understand is why did West Ham withold the third party interest, when signing the Argentinians, knowing it was against the rules.
It does seem a bit suspect I have to say. Maybe Panorama should investigate
