The EPL's rules of conduct did not include mandatory relegation, nor even mandatory points deduction for infringement of its rules, instead giving its disciplinary body the discretion to arrive at whatever punishment it considered appropriate. West Ham pleaded guilty and accepted its punishment, a record fine. At the time the punishment was meted out, no-one believed that West Ham had a realistic chance of avoiding the drop, anyway. But West Ham contrived to avoid the relegation which most commentators had thought inevitable, by stirring and gutsy performances on the pitch, which is where football matters ought to be decided.

This article is about a true footballing legend. Who played football with his feet and his head and was not driven by money! Also, Sheffield United fans, I realise that Bobby Moore never played for you, but if you could muster a donation to the fund it would be hugely appreciated...by everyone! We can all unite on this Sam Guys, here is not the place to discuss who did and didn’t break the law.

Besides a certian Marlon King kept him out of the side anyway, probably would've not played anyway ... at least he was registered to be entitled to play. if you think that cheating and telling porkies is the way to go about your business then you need say no more. chelms iron…Clubs have done that ‘gentleman’s agreement’ for years, WHAM included no doubt.

I remember an agreement between sheff utd and watford involving a certain Steve Kabba. If we should be relegated for breaking rules so should you. At the end of the day you only had to scupper a few points to stay up and you didn't,we managed to turn almost certain relegation into a great escape against the likes of arsenal and man utd, who deserves to be there more? You wern't good enough for the prem and you never will be. Are Sheffield United not also guilty of breaking rules too chapagneblade?

But I can't agree with your 'good news for football' comment. By retaining your status in the PL and breaking the rules at the same time your board have tarnished the name of your good club. However harsh it may have seemed, just like Athletics, anyone not prepared to play by the rules should be excluded. You should have been relegated. The fact the FAPL thought you would anyway and tried to second guess this by hoping to fine you and you lose your FAPL status was absurd at the time. Nobody wants to see football dragged through the courts with appeal and counter appeal, but the men in suits who are sitting idly by made this by not choosing a suitable punishment which should have punished WH for rule breaking and compensated the other 19 teams who did stick to the rules restrictions.
