West Ham To Appeal On Tevez Issue

This is an intersting story. I guess I should have followed the whole issue with West Ham and Carlos Tevez a little closer.

Sheffield United sued West Ham over the fact that they, on the last day of the season were relagated and West Ham stayed in the EPL. This all having to do with the fact that Sheffield United claims Carlos Tevez was not eligible to play for West Ham as they broke FA rules in signing him. They were awarded £30 million by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

So now West Ham is appealing this, but if they are not successful in getting it overturned it could put a huge financial burden on the club and may cause them to have to sell off key players resulting in the relagation of the club once again.

I can't say I understand the whole thing at all, but it was weird that on the last day of the transfer window, Tevez and Mascherano ended up at West Ham and the even funnier thing is that both have since left the club as they had issues playing there.

West Ham were already found guilty of withholding vital documentation as far as the ownership of the two Argentinian players in 2006. They were fined £5.5 million for this. Now Sheffield want their fair share in lost revenue for getting relagated.

Funny thing is Sheffield still sucked and deserved to be relagated, but with out Tevez, West Ham would have more than likely been the ones going down.

Personally I can't wait until Sheffield Wednesday make their way back to the EPL. It might not be in my lifetime, but you can always hope. For Sheffield United, they will always be one of the teams contending to move up. £30 million certainly would give them the buying power to get there.

We will see what happens on this one.
