BLADES FACE WAIT TO LEARN FATE - Sky
By Mark Buckingham - Created on 19 Jun 2007
Sheffield United expect to learn the outcome of the hearing into West Ham
United's punishment by the end of the month. A Premier League arbitration
panel has spent the past two days listening to arguments in the case
concerning Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano. The Hammers were fined
£5.5million in the spring after being found guilty regarding the ownership
of the Argentinian duo. Several Premier League clubs have complained about
the punishment, claiming West Ham should have been docked points for the
offence. After relegation from the top flight, The Blades have taken the
fight forward in an attempt to have the sanction changed. The panel has now
gone away to consider the evidence presented this week and a decision is
expected by the end of June at the latest. "We'd like to thank the
tribunal," said Blades plc chairman Kevin McCabe. "It's been a very
complicated case. "The panel are going away to review the evidence and
submissions, and we've been told to expect a decision by the end of the
month, and hopefully sooner. "All three parties have had the opportunity to
present their cases clearly to the panel and we look forward to the handing
down of the decision of the panel in due course. "It would be inappropriate
to comment further until a decision has been made." The Blades are confident
of eventually being reinstated to the Premier League for next season,
although the arbitration panel will only decide whether a new hearing is
required.

Rams close on Mears move - Sky
By Peter ORourke - Created on 19 Jun 2007
Derby boss Billy Davies is hopeful of tying up a permanent deal for West
Ham's Tyrone Mears. Mears spent the second half of last season on loan at
Derby after failing to establish himself at Upton Park. The 24-year-old
impressed during his loan spell at Pride Park helping the Rams secure
promotion to the Premier League via the play-offs. Davies is keen to keep
Mears at the club as he prepares for next season in the top flight and he
believes a deal is close to being agreed. "Tyrone is a young player with
plenty of potential and we expect to conclude a deal soon," Davies told The
Sun.

Trio in Hunt for unhappy Stephen - TeamTalk
Bolton, Portsmouth and West Ham may step up their efforts to land Stephen
Hunt after he revealed he was unhappy with his current Reading deal. The
midfielder signed a new two-and-a-half year contract just six months ago,
but after a successful first season in the Premier League, Hunt is demanding
a further pay increase. The 26-year-old Republic of Ireland international is
upset at earning less than his team-mates and a host of other Premier League
clubs could be prepared to pounce if he fails to agree new terms. Hunt told
The Mirror: "I spoke to Steve Coppell and he understands where I am coming
from.
"I'm not asking for anything silly - just to earn the same as my
team-mates." Pompey boss Harry Redknapp confirmed his interest when he
admitted he was "impressed" with Hunt last season, but did not think he
would want to leave Reading this summer. Bolton boss Sammy Lee has also been
linked with a £1.5million bid for the player, while he is also thought to be
on the shopping list of West Ham manager Alan Curbishley. Royals boss Steve
Coppell has expressed his desire to keep hold of Hunt, but the return to
fitness of Bobby Convey and rumours of a swoop for Celtic midfielder Thomas
Gravesen could put pressure on Hunt's place in the Reading first-team and
make him consider a summer move.

Rogues Gallery As West Ham Tribunal Farce Continues - West Ham Fans.org
Submitted by Neville Nixon on 19 June, 2007 - 12:40.
Hot on the heels of the Rick 'the grass' Parry appearance on behalf of
Sheffield United, Fulham have been adding their hypocritical contribution,
it is a pity they were not at the arbitration hearing in Fleet Street
yesterday, otherwise they could have had a cosy chat with their very good
friend Mr Parry, after all his club Liverpool were so very generous to the
cottagers during the penultimate match of the season, a match that saw
Liverpool field nine reserves, a match that Fulham win and thus ensure their
Premiership survival.
In a way one has to admire the bare faced cheek of Fulham, an arbitration
spokesman revealed that Fulham were pushing to get the extra money paid out
by the Premiership to West Ham for finishing above them in the final
placings, arguing that Hammers would have had points deducted if the Rule18
breach had been dealt with earlier in the season.
Wigan have also submitted a statement outlining a similar claim.. McBabe has
certainly cranked up the volume, and he has had his ten minutes of fame, but
privately those connected with Sheffield United will tell you that McBabe is
doing his best for his club and might end up getting £25 Million in
compensation, add that to the parachute payment they will receive and at the
end of the day they will be happy. But and it's a big but, no one believes
the club deserved to stay up. "We got relegated because we were crap" was
how a Blades supporting BBC journalist summed up the situation.
It is unlikely that there will be a definitive outcome from the hearing
today, there are reams of paperwork and submissions to be considered this
afternoon. At lunchtime the tribunal spokesman revealed that the full
findings will not be available until the end of the month, cue collective
groan from the assembled press and an excuse to high tail it away from the
boredom and the £4 per hour parking bays.
At the end of the day Sheffield United have put up a bigger fight than most
observers anticipated, of course if things do turn round dramatically it
will just be the next phase of what will become an increasingly complicated
and embarrassing situation for the Premier league, with claims and counter
claims flying all over the place, as we previously mentioned a big pay off
might suit all concerned, but who will have to foot the bill? As it stands
the Premier League would have to pick up the tab, well, they're rich enough
aren't they?

West Ham eye £10m-rated McCarthy - Daily Mail
Last updated at 12:26pm on 19th June 2007
West Ham have been rebuffed after making an enquiry for Blackburn striker
Benni McCarthy. The £10million-rated South African marksman, who scored 18
League goals last season, is also admired by Chelsea and Aston Villa.

West Ham join Nugent race - lep.co.uk
Dave Nugent has impressed for England's Under-21 side
By Brian Ellis
West Ham have joined the queue of clubs waiting to talk to Dave Nugent when
he returns from England Under-21 duty. The Hammers, whose Premiership future
is up for debate over the next two days at an arbitration panel, look set to
challenge favourites Sunderland and a host of other suitors for the Preston
North End star's signature after losing out on a £17m bid for Charlton's
Darren Bent. Boss Alan Curbishley will have to wait until at least Thursday
to put his case to Nugent after England made it through to the semi-finals
of the European Under-21 Championships with a 2-0 win over Serbia last
night. The North End marksman failed to get on the scoresheet in Nijmegen
but his performances in the competition so far have attracted plenty of
attention from top-flight managers. Sunderland boss Roy Keane has been in
Holland to have a close look at the 22-year-old. But, like Curbishley, the
ex-Manchester United skipper has not been allowed to speak with Nugent while
the Championships are on-going. England face hosts Holland on Wednesday in
Heerenveen in the semi-
finals. If they make it through to Saturday night's final. Curbishley is
reported to want the Preston hitman to pair him up with Dean Ashton when he
returns to action following a broken ankle. Preston are already preparing
for life without Nugent. But manager Paul Simpson is adamant he still wants
to keep his top scorer for another assault on promotion next season. He has
already signed one frontman by capturing the highly-rated Karl Hawley from
Carlisle on a free transfer last week. And he is planning to add at least
one more goalscorer over the next couple of weeks, whether or not Nugent is
still at the club. Having lost Danny Dichio, Dave Hibbert, Michael Ricketts
and Andy Smith, Simpson is down to his last five strikers, including the
England international. Brett Ormerod, Neil Mellor, Patrick Agyemang and
Hawley have all had their injury problems over the past 12 months. "I will
still be looking for another striker, whether or not Dave Nugent stays or
goes. I want to bring a big striker in – a targetman who can go an be the
focal point of our attack." Meanwhile, Walsall have denied they are about to
offer Ricketts a return to the Bescot Stadium. Saddlers boss Richard Money
insisted: "I keep hearing these rumours, but we have not spoken to Michael."

HAREWOOD'S £4.5M TAG - Daily Express
West Ham have turned Birmingham's offer for Harewood down
Tuesday June 19,2007
STEVE BRUCE has been told he will have to pay £4.5million to lure Marlon
Harewood from West Ham. Birmingham manager Bruce wants Harewood to spearhead
his bid to stay in the top flight after his team won promotion. But
Birmingham have had a £3m bid for the unwanted 27-year-old turned down by
West Ham owner Eggert Magnusson. Although Harewood has been told he can
leave the club, the Hammers are determined to cash in on the striker. He
scored 16 times for them in their impressive first season back in the
Premiership after winning the 2004-05 play-offs. But he was reduced to a
peripheral role last season, scoring only four times. Nottingham Forest are
due 15 per cent of any resale of a player they sold to West Ham for
£500,000. Derby County are also in the running to sign him. Blues are still
haggling with the Hammers over the price of left-back Paul Konchesky after
having a £2m bid knocked back. West Ham are to make changes in their
backroom team. The Londoners will beef up the medical and coaching
departments before their players return for pre-season training.

HAMMERS HANG ON TO THEIR HARE - The Mirror
12 DAYS TO JULY TRANSFER WINDOW
19/06/2007
BIRMINGHAM have had a £3million bid for Marlon Harewood rejected by West
Ham. City made an offer of an initial £2m plus add-ons for the striker, who
is surplus to requirements at Upton Park. But the Hammers are looking for
something near £5m for the former Ipswich and Forest man. That is
unrealistic for the Blues, who are also interested in West Ham defender Paul
Konchesky. Their boss Alan Curbishley will be looking to recoup the majority
of the £6m he paid Birmingham for Matthew Upson in January.

James Shield Blades comment - The Star - Barnsley
IT is a battle as gladiatorial as any Sheffield United faced in the Premier
League last season. But while West Ham, the club whose rule-breaking
officials at Bramall Lane argue condemned them to the Championship next
term, have barely uttered a word in anger during the Carlos Tevez Affair,
their chairman Eggert Magnusson is proving a worthy adversary. The Icelandic
biscuit tycoon may bear more than a passing resemblance to Elmer Fudd but
behind his cartoon features lies a shrewd political mind. Kevin McCabe, the
usually tactful chairman of United's plc board has also played a blinder
during one of the most controversial episodes in the recent history of
English football.
Faced with incomprehensible opposition from an organisation which should be
doing everything in its power to accommodate its members, McCabe has dragged
the FAPL kicking and screaming into an arbitration process which is
scheduled to conclude its investigation into the thinking behind punishing
West Ham with a fine rather than a points deduction today.
Negotiating safe passage through the PR minefield has been a delicate task
but McCabe and his staff have managed it as well as could possibly be hoped.
Sunday's claim that United breached regulations themselves when they sold
Steven Kabba to Watford earlier this year was a potential trap carefully
placed by those plotting against them yet they circumnavigated it with ease.
McCabe has been at pains to stress that United's battle is with the FAPL
itself, not West Ham, but ever since objections were first raised about the
presence of Tevez and Javier Mascherano at Upton Park, Magnusson has been
quietly protecting his own club's position.
His admission that West Ham had breached regulations but, more importantly,
the thinly veiled threat to pursue his own legal action should points be
deducted was a smart move.
With hindsight United, Wigan, Charlton and Fulham, who also voiced their
disapproval, would have been better served by stating they fully expected a
guilty verdict would be greeted with a points deduction rather than trusting
that justice would be served.
In fairness, however, they were simply following protocol at the time.
As a former president of Iceland's Football Association and member of UEFA's
Executive Committee, Magnusson is well-versed in how the machinery of
football works and his second master-stroke has been to spend big money
quickly in the market - which has blocked another possible escape route for
the FAPL should Lord Justice Ottan and his team find in United's favour.
But while West Ham have been cast as the villains of the piece in some
quarters, the blame for this whole sorry mess falls squarely at the feet of
the FAPL.
Whatever happens, whatever lessons can be learned from this saga, there is
no doubt that it has been handled very poorly indeed.
