Hammers to be Docked Points??
The Premier League are currently investigating the transfers of Carlitos Tevez & Javier Mascherano. Rumour has it that if found that the transfers are illegal, West Ham would be guilty of fielding ineligible players during the course of the season and would therefore be docked points. The Premier League is said to have a rule that player registrations can not be held by a third party and must be owned by the club itself. Other clubs involved in a relegation scrap such as Charlton and Wigan are said to be monitoring the situation and will take legal action against the Premier League if West Ham are not docked points.
Just what we need right now eh!

I saw that too Dave, I can't see it happening (bloody hope not) but if it does I hope Wigan and Charlton get more points docked than us ;-)

The irony is I think we have amassed a whopping 5 points when they have played.Villa home draw,Sheffield home win and the Fulham home draw when Tevez played 12 minutes.
Unfortunately if the FA decide to make an example of us, we get docked three points for every game they have played in.
I think the FA had to sanction the transfers in the first place, so I would imagine West Ham could take legal action against the FA etc.In my opinion,the only scenario for the FA to take action is if they see this as an oppurtunity to scare off further foreign investment in the EPL.
Interestingly, the few newspaper reports i read online all seem to mention Wigan and Paul Jewell.This is a good sign.Wigan are desparate and looks like they have resigned themselves to relegation
