Jimbo 175 Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Sheffield United's bid to regain their Premiership status appears to be over after their bid to see West Ham docked points was dismissed. An arbitration panel upheld the Premier League's decision not to dock the Hammers points over the signings of Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano. West Ham stayed up at the Blades' expense on the final day of the season, leading to Sheffield United's appeal. West Ham had earlier been fined £5.5m for their handling of the duo's deals. The Blades had wanted the panel to order a new disciplinary commission deal with West Ham. The club also lost another claim - made jointly with Fulham - that the Premier League should have forced West Ham to de-register Tevez. A statement from the arbitration panel read: "The tribunal have found in favour of the FA Premier League on both issues and dismissed the claims of Sheffield United FC and Fulham FC." More to follow.

McFaul 35 Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 I haven't really got much of an opinion on this but you can be 100% sure if the shoe was on the other foot, they'd reinstate West Ham as a Premiership club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
