Fixtures ~ BHA to Sue WHU

[Rusco]

Saw this on BBC Football Gossip, anyone know anything about this?

Apologies if it's fixtures

Brighton and Bury could sue West Ham if the FA fails to expel the Premiership club for fielding an ineligible player, Carlos Tevez, in the FA Cup. (Express)

 

[larus]

Why would he have been ineligible?

 

[Arthur]

What's it got to do with Bury??

 

[Robdinho]

He (and Mascherano before he moved) is technically ineligable to play in England because he is owned by a third party rather than the club.

I read the other day there's a chance West Ham will get a points deduction for playing them.

 

[Da Man Clay]

Did he plau against us?

 

[Frutos]

Did he plau against us?

Yes

What's it got to do with Bury??

Bury fielded one and lost there place in the cup so they want the same punishment to westham

 

[Publius Ovidius]

but they are already out of the cup

 

[Wozza]

but they are already out of the cup

:thud:

I was going to post this at the weekend when I saw Tevez was ineligible.

My take on it was, would Brighton be reinstated in the cup.

Dont think they would be but westham monies would be perhaps awarded to us .. otherwise watford have a case to answer

 

[Barrel of Fun]

I think Watford should be thrown out for playing the wrong team and so on...

Clear path to the final me thinks.

I was told this last Saturday and apparently the FA are looking into it and have said that because the cup rounds have progressed they could not re-instate any club so they would possibly offer BHA financial compensation.

WHOOOOP!

In a way it is a real shame, beacause the income we would have recived would have been more useful in January whilst the transfer window was still open. May have helped increase the offer for Byfield?

 

[BensGrandad]

Perhaps the club were aware of this and that WAS or IS the money that they were going to use.

 

[Ozymandias]

That's assumming that FA will do the right thing ... which on past performance is one bloody big leap of faith, certainly not one that any clab would risk.
Let's face it we'll most probably have to pay WHU compensation as we should've been aware of his ineligability and informed them prior to kick off, I mean what were we thinking

 

[Jesus Gul]

We should keep this under wraps until mid April....and then demand our re-instatement

 

[Gully]

I suppose the most logical outcome would be for us to be awarded whatever winnings WHU received for beating us, it is too late for us to be re-instated, if of course they are found guilty by the FA.

especially as tevez was bloody good in that game.
