The Premier League and the Football Association say they will launch a fresh inquiry into the conduct of West Ham over the Carlos Tevez affair. The new joint investigation will look into the London club's dealings with Tevez's representatives. West Ham were fined £5.5m in April 2007 by the Premier League for breaking rules over third-party agreements. An independent tribunal later ruled that Tevez was ineligible to play for West Ham in the 2006-07 season. More to follow. (zzz)
On Radio 5 this morning They sais that West Ham could start next season with a points deduction. I almost crashed the car laughing - thinking that it wouldn't benefit the mutants! Ha ha!
"We have no doubt that the services of Tevez were worth at least three points to West Ham over the season and were what made the difference between West Ham remaining in the Premiership and being relegated at the end of the season." </p> Clearly if they hadn't fielded Tevez they'd have gone out with ten players.</p>
