Aldridge Seeks Legal Advice

Former West Ham chief executive Paul Aldridge has said he is seeking legal advice about the accusations made by the Premier League hearing. In their judgement on West Ham's signing of Tevez and Mascherano the three man panel directly accused Aldridge of lying to the Premier League and of deliberately acting dishonestly.

Aldridge is upset that his "personal and professional reputations have been besmirched" even though he was not called as a witness, invited to provide a statement or notified in advance of the allegations against him.
