West Ham to Sue Old Regime

The Guardian today say that West Ham are unlikely to appeal against yesterday's verdict, as an appeal might decide that West Ham should have points deducted after all. Instead the paper believes, that with the hearing having clearly exonerated Eggert Magnusson and having so clearly accused Brown, Aldridge and Duxbury, the club may instead attempt to sue Brown for the £5.5 million imposed by the Premier League.

The paper also reveals that though the judgement stated that "the registration of Tevez can be terminated by the Premier League", it can no longer happen as West Ham now have a loan agreement with MSI similar to the one that permitted Mascherano to move to Liverpool.
