Personally, I will not consider the Tevez question over until he returns to lead us, riding a white horse, with fire coming from his eyes and a mighty sword from his mouth, thrusting our enemies into the winepress of God and causing this club to rise from the dead and ascend in rapture into the heaven of the Champions League.

The details are in the Book of Revelations, if anyone's interested ... :wink:

I was going to ask the same question, surely it must be dead & buried now?
The FA don't tend to say much if they clear someone.
They cleared the Blunts over that "Gentleman's agreement", but said very little.

Somebody must know the answer, it would be nice if us fans were brought in on it, after all we sweated blood during the summer not knowing where we might be watching football.

Spot on.. :thup:

It's funny how it's all gone so quiet now that Tevez is on a similar deal to the one he had here but with a top 4 club. :think:

I was thinking the same thing last week and was going to make the same post!

A Sheff Utd fan I know through work was saying that he is expecting 'more claret and blue poo to be flung around in the courts', so from the perspective their end, they don't think it's over. Maybe they are still looking into further action and building a case to sue...?

As long as we stay in the premiership with no further repercussions I couldn't care less what they do. Oh and I'm sick of hearing people say they're glad Tevez is gone, yeah right it's so great we lost one of the best players in the world... :?

I'm not glad he's gone but I'm certainly glad the controversy, snide dealings and everything that surround him and his agent have moved on!

Sheffield Utd mention WHU & Arbitration in Final Results

Post by Damn Yankee »

http://www.londonstockexchange.com/LSEC ... source=RNS
It seems bizarre to introduce our Annual Report & Accounts by immediately
referring to the media named "Tevez affair" but the impact of the admitted
breaches of the "rules of football" committed by one of our competitors in the
Premier League have been and continue to be far reaching. I am sure all
shareholders and supporters are aware from the coverage in the national
newspapers, journals, tv and radio that West Ham United FC broke the FA Premier
League rules relating to third party ownership of players but for whatever
reason "got away with it" by only receiving a fine of some £5.5 million,
ironically indirectly reduced by the fee they received on the subsequent
complicated transfer of Carlos Tevez to Manchester United FC. I share the view
of almost everyone in the football industry that the only suitable punishment
was a deduction of points, both to maintain the integrity of the game and to
ensure that West Ham was unable to obtain any benefit as a result of its
wrongful behaviour.

It's stating the obvious that in league football, from August through to May
every week each team plays for one reward alone and that is points. At the end
of the season it is the number of points that dictate success or failure and
thus if one club breaches the rules which affect on the field performances, the
only possible punishment must be a deduction of points in order to restore the
competitive balance of competition between all of the other clubs. Surely to the
fair minded sports person (as one would hope those who govern the FA Premier
League are) a serious breach of the rules by which two Argentinean football
stars were able to play for West Ham (in the case of Carlos Tevez for virtually
the whole of season 2006/2007) gave that club a major unfair advantage and left
the others - who played within the rules - at a disadvantage. Here in the UK,
and in particular England, the home of football, we like to hold our heads high
and believe that governance of our sport - and in this instance the national
sport and most popular game and league in the world - is conducted to the
highest standards of fair play and integrity. Sadly one has to say that the
circumstances surrounding Sheffield United FC's relegation in May 2007
demonstrates that our national game at Premier League level only is poorly
governed.

Given we are now heading towards an FA lead Arbitration seeking redress from
West Ham United FC
, I am not at liberty to make any further comments other than
to say if we gain a successful award - as I believe we should - a monetary sum
does not in any shape or form compensate for what by rights would have been
reinstatement to the top division of English football. I do thank all of those
who have assisted Sheffield United thus far in our Campaign for Fairness
conducted locally, nationally and internationally.
