Simply unforgettable. The 2006/07 season remains one of those for fans of West Ham United. A season that began with such promise: Alan Pardew signed two genuine world- class players ahead of the kick-off, but little did the Argentinian pair of Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano know they joined a season- long relegation battle. Roll forward to the business end, and with nine matches left to play the Hammers looked doomed. Seven wins from those nine made it arguably the greatest escape in English top-flight history.

  • Before the Football Association Premier League Arbitral Tribunal
    BEFORE THE FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION PREMIER LEAGUE ARBITRAL TRIBUNAL BETWEEN FULHAM FOOTBALL CLUB Claimant - and - WEST HAM UNITED FOOTBALL CLUB Defendant ____________________________ DETERMINATION ____________________________ Introduction 1. This Determination addresses the preliminary issue which we identified should be determined by way of a preliminary issue, namely:- “Whether the Award and Reasons of the FA Tribunal in Sheffield United v West Ham is admissible in these proceedings.”1 Background 2. Fulham Football Club (“Fulham”) claims damages against West Ham United Football Club (“West Ham”) for breach of contract arising out of the terms on which West Ham contracted with two first team players, Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano, to play for its team and the way in which it procured the players’ registration with the Premier League. 1 For these purposes “admissible” means admissible as evidence of the truth of the facts found by the Award and Reasons in that arbitration. 3. Fulham’s case is that during the 2006-2007 season, Tevez was only able to play for West Ham because of West Ham’s breaches of the Rules of the Premier League which constituted a contract between member clubs such as Fulham and West Ham and that Tevez’ participation in the West Ham team was an effective cause of West Ham winning at least three more points than they would otherwise have won. 4. Fulham contend that precisely the same issues have already been determined under the rules of the Football Association (FA) by an FA Arbitral Tribunal in a claim brought by Sheffield United (“Sheffield”) against West Ham. (The claim was brought under the FA Rules because by the time that the claim was instituted, Sheffield were no longer in the Premier League having been relegated at the end of the 2006-2007 season to the Championship).

  • Rafael Benitez on World Cup 2014: Never Mind Neymar – Argentina Will Feel Loss of Free-Running Angel Di Maria Against Netherlands
    Rafael Benitez on World Cup 2014: Never mind Neymar – Argentina will feel loss of free-running Angel Di Maria against Netherlands In his exclusive column for The Independent, the former Liverpool manager and current Napoli boss warns that the Netherlands shouldn't underestimate Argentina's tactical flexibility during their semi-final meeting Rafael Benitez Tuesday, 8 July 2014 We have heard a lot about the Brazilian favelas and Argentina has its special difficult conditions too. They call them the potreros. It is where they play football, normally on small pieces of land – irregular – and it is because of the difficulties that the players look for football to give them a way out. Don’t underestimate how the poverty has given Argentina the players it has. I have known a lot of them and I know that with Argentina there is a spirit which few other nations have. They have a very tough job now that we are into the last week of the tournament. Everyone has been talking about Neymar in the last three days but Argentina losing Angel Di Maria has consequences which could be just as serious – maybe we can say more serious – than Brazil losing their talisman. I’m talking about options. We have seen Alejandro Sabella, the Argentina manager, being very flexible with his tactics in the tournament. He started with a line of five in midfield in the first half of the first game against Bosnia. Then he went to 4-3-1-2, then 4-2-3-1, with Lionel Messi behind Gonzalo Higuain, my striker at Napoli, Di Maria on the right and Ezequiel Lavezzi the left – giving width.
