The FA must have realised that the Mascherano deal was dodgy as it took them ages to sort out, so surely they should have suspected the Tevez and dealt with it there and then.
Teams have been deducted points for fielding ineligible players, West Ham also admitted it, so I think a mere 5.5 million fine is a cop out. The teams relegated are losing a hell of a lot of money, is it 30 million? So West Ham have actually got 25 million although they fielded an ineligible player. Now look at other teams who have done that, AFC Wimbledon were deducted 12 points, although it was eventually 3 and also Bury were thrown out of the FA cup for similiar wrong doings. Now how can that be fair? It seems one rule for the Premiership and another for the other leagues. Also don't forget one of the main reasons we stayed up a couple of years was because 'Boro were deducted points for not playing a game when, apparently, all the players were sick or injured. Think it's a complete joke to be honest that West Ham have got off to lightly as I don't see much happening with them now.
