At Last Some Good News For West Ham
c/p westhamfans.org
The Premier League and FA's sanction of Argentine International Javier Mascherano's transfer to Liverpool has finally laid to rest the fear that West Ham could be docked points for fielding ineligible players. 'Mascher' joining up with Liverpool to play in the Champion's league will probably irk plenty of Hammers fans but at least his transfer will help end the countless speculation that the club were about to be penalised by the FA for contract irregularities. Although the threat of a points loss could well be turn out to have been academic anyway, at least it means that the forthcoming results will still have real significance and it is hoped that this small glimmer of light might just be the turning point that West Ham fans around the globe are hoping will trigger a miraculous recovery. "Good enough for Liverpool, not good enough for West Ham". These words may come back to haunt us.Posted by Anonymous at 12:22 pm

I wouldn't post stuff from that site - they make stuff up. Masche signing for Liverpool has nothing to do with us and points docking.
A statement from the Premier League read: "The Premier League is satisfied that the contractual arrangements proposed by Liverpool FC are consistent with its rules; particularly that the relationship between club and player is not subject to third-party influence.
The Premier League have still to decide whether there will be any action against The Hammers for their role in signing Mascherano and Carlos Tevez.
West Ham could be docked points if they are found guilty of breaching Premier League regulations, which prevent the signing of players owned by a third party who could have the 'ability materially to influence a club's policies or the performance of its teams'.

I have heard rumours that the reason that he didn't play for us is that we were contracted to buy him for 17M if her played more than 4 games or something like that. The probs arrouse when Liverpool agreed to pay the 17M and we were going to receive nothing.. this is against EPL rules that you play a player of which you have NO ownership... however they agreed the transfer originally so it's still in the balance.... not sure what difference he has made and so if they do decide to dock us points lets hope they take that into account. I also believe that Tevez has a different contract...
