Interesting how this keeps coming up in the broadsheets - it's slowly ticking over in the background.
I wonder what will become of it?
My guess would be sweet Football Association.
But if Sheffield United take this to a civil proceeding, they might just take the Spammers for a fortune!
On the footy side I think it's done and dusted. But if Sheffield United take this to a civil proceeding, they might just take the Spammers for a fortune!
But it wont get anywhere near the £30 million+ that PL football gives.
I wouldn't be so sure.
If, and that's a big 'if', Sheff Utd won a civil case against West Ham, they would be entitled to damages equalling the amount that they lost from being relegated. This could even be greater than £30million, depending on how far into the future the court gives their ruling.
If this was the case, then I'm sure West Ham would settle out of court for a smaller amount; unless, of course, Sheff Utd wished to take it all the way through the courts to publically make their point.
