West Ham Arbitration

Recently The Daily Mail has gone a bit quiet on their attacks on West Ham but today they claim that West Ham face a massive compensation payout in the FA arbitration.

They claim the Premier League hearing sympathised with Sheffield Utd but couldn't reinstate them whereas the FA arbitration has unlimited power. They are clearly implying that the FA arbitration could reinstate Sheff Utd. I would like them to explain how the FA could reinstate a club to another organisation's competition half way through a season.

The Mail does include a quote from an 'FA source' (just once I would like The Mail to name a source),

"The panel will have whatever powers they need. They can order recompense."

The whole tone of the article suggests that West Ham will have to pay a huge compensation. Why they think the FA will see this any differently than the League appeal is never explained.

I cannot for the life of me see what Sheffield United can claim as a basis for a case. If the FA make us pay SU compensation then they might as well make us pay Charlton and Watford too. Every unbiased fan I know thinks McCabe and Sheff U have made themselves look absolute mugs over this.
