West Ham Club Statement

West Ham United today issued a statement that the club would not be "exercising our right of appeal against the penalty imposed on the Club by the Premier League's recent Commission of Inquiry."

Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore has also said that the commission's decision is final, "As far as we are concerned that decision is final and the only people who can appeal against that are West Ham."

So that should be the end of that, although somehow I don't think it will be the last we hear of it.
