Stan the man for Motson

Junior Stanislas' Premier League debut impressed many - including BBC
commentator John Motson
18.03.2009

Having caught the eye of legendary BBC commentator John Motson on his
Premier League debut, West Ham United winger Junior Stanislas is planning to
make an even greater impact between now and the end of the season.

The England Under-19 winger was at his lively, tricky best during a 20
minute run out against West Bromwich Albion, teasing Baggies right-back
Gianni Zuiverloon and almost conjuring up a late winner for David Di
Michele.

After the game Motson, commentating for BBC Radio FiveLive, told listeners
that Stanislas could be the next big thing to roll off the Academy of
Football's famed production line, and the player himself is anxious to prove
him right.

"It was a good experience. I was glad to get on for 20 or 25 minutes and
show what I can do. Obviously it wasn't long enough for me to do everything
but hopefully I did a little bit and showed a few people that.

"I definitely feel that it [all my work since joining the club as an
eleven-year-old] has been worthwhile. I have put in a lot of hard work over
years and years and it was an amazing night for me. All that hard work paid
off. Obviously I now have to keep working hard to achieve my dreams.

"To start a game would be nice, but I'd be happy just to get some more
game-time in the first-team under my belt. I just want to keep learning and
taking things from the other boys in training and keep pushing on."

Stanislas was impressive; running at the West Brom defence and launching a
series of dangerous crosses and corners into the visitors' penalty area. The
19-year-old, who was cheered on from the stands by his father and brother,
admitted to relishing the responsibility of taking set pieces and is eager
to earn his first Premier League assist before too long.

"I had a little bit of responsibility when I came on. I take the corners in
training and practice my free-kicks with the boys so hopefully I can keep
improving on them and maybe score from one soon."

The talented Stanislas scored three goals in nine matches during a
successful loan spell at League One outfit Southend United earlier this
season - a spell that also saw him face Chelsea in two keenly-contested FA
Cup third round ties. Now back at the Boleyn Ground, he is anxious to take
on the Blues again when they visit for a Premier League fixture on 25 April.

In appearing against Tony Mowbray's side, Stanislas became the seventh
Academy graduate to appear for the first-team this season, following Mark
Noble, Freddie Sears, Kyel Reid, Zavon Hines, Jack Collison and James
Tomkins into Gianfranco Zola's team. The winger believes it will not be long
before that list is extended still further, with close friend and reserve
team captain Bondz N'Gala pushing for a place in the 18-man squad for
Saturday's trip to Blackburn Rovers.

"Bondz will get his chance as well. I've got mine and he will get his so
it's all good. It was a good experience for me. We're in seventh place and
could maybe have played a bit better and picked up a couple more points but,
personally, it was a good start for me."

Leeds may seek Tevez compensation
BBC.co.uk

Leeds United are considering a compensation claim following the settlement
of the Carlos Tevez saga. West Ham and Sheffield United reached an
out-of-court settlement over the Argentine's ineligibility during the
2006-07 season. The Blades' relegation saw Leeds miss out on add-ons from
the transfers of Rob Hulse, Matthew Kilgallon and Ian Bennett to Bramall
Lane. Leeds chairman Ken Bates told the club website they are seeking legal
advice. "We are currently taking advice on it and won't be commenting
further at this time," said Bates. The Sheffield club successfully argued
that Tevez was ineligible to play for West Ham and that his goals helped
keep the Hammers in the Premier League at their expense. An independent
hearing ruled in favour of their claim for compensation and the two clubs
reached an agreement earlier this week, thought to be in the region of £20m.
And while that seemed to signal the end of the matter, Bates' comments
indicate that the saga could carry on. "We sold a number of players to
Sheffield United with contingencies," Bates said. "When they got relegated
on the last day of the season we missed out on a substantial sum. "That's
what we lost and if they are being compensated for their loss we believe we
should be compensated for our loss. "There are other clubs in the same boat
who have similar claims. Ours is the biggest claim and it would be nice to
collect that and strengthen our squad."
It is not known how much money Leeds missed out on, but one newspaper report
estimates it could be around £500,000. Former Sheffield United manager Neil
Warnock, now in charge of Crystal Palace, said on Tuesday that he was also
considering legal action against West Ham. Players from the Sheffield United
team that were relegated also intend to pursue their compensation claim. In
a statement on their club website, West Ham said: "It is now becoming clear
that the ruling by Lord Griffiths has encouraged a potentially endless legal
chain of claims and counter claims, which can only be damaging to English
football. "As a club we will strongly resist any attempts to prolong this
matter through the courts both to protect our interests and those of the
wider game. "There is a lot more at stake than the finances of West Ham
United and we will do all we can to stop this matter ending in a form of
legal anarchy."

Curbishley: they got it wrong
KUMB.com
Filed: Wednesday, 18th March 2009
By: Staff Writer

Alan Curbishley has criticised the process that led West Ham United to pay
up to £25million in damages to Sheffield United this week. Curbishley, who
led the Hammers to their great escape of 2006/07 by virtue of seven wins in
the final nine games of that season called the arbitration panel's decision
'fundamentally flawed', asseting that it was the whole team that ensured
Premiership survival that season. "When you think about what goes on in a
whole season for the judgment to say that Tevez kept us up, or was the main
reason we stayed up, is wrong," he told the Daily Mail. "Tevez didn't score
for 20 games. In the run in in the last nine games we used 13 players which
we never had the opportunity to do before because of injuries. "It was a
fantastic run-in and I always felt the side were good enough to stay up. It
was a great escape and it wasn't down to just one person."
Curbishley, who is himself thought to be seeking around £3million in lost
earnings from the club following his resignation last September added:
"People forget we scored a winning goal at Blackburn that didn't cross the
line - so are they going to sue the linesman and the referee? "We kept a lot
of clean sheets. I don't think any West Ham fans will ever forget the game
at Arsenal when Rob Green made about a dozen saves. Bobby Zamora scored two
winning goals at home to Everton and away to Arsenal. "Bobby Zamora had been
out injured and came in for the run-in and was nice and fresh. James Collins
came in and was nice and fresh. We brought Mark Noble in and suddenly we had
a different team."

England defender named and shamed

By: Staff Writer

Everton's Phil Jagielka is one of the 20 Sheffield United 2006/07 squad
members planning to sue West Ham, according to reports. Jagielka - who is
thought to have doubled his wages since moving to Everton from Sheffield
United in the summer of 2007 - has been named by the Daily Mail's Hatchet
Man as one of the group set to claim compensation from United in the wake of
Monday's out-of-court settlement. One of the main reasons previously cited
by the group for the proposed compensation claim is a loss of earnings;
Jagielka - who has also featured for England since leaving Sheffield - is
said to earn £25,000 per week on Merseyside with a new deal worth around
£40,000 per week in the pipeline.

Of the Sheffield United squad relegated from the Premiership just 20 months
ago Jagielka is the only member currently plying his trade in the Premier
League (Stoke's Michael Tonge has played just twice this year). With eight
of the 06/07 squad still at Sheffield United and the majority of the
remainder at other football league clubs the group would appear to have
their work cut out justifying why they feel they should have continued to be
paid Premiership wages.

Where are they now? Sheffield United's 2006/07 squad

Phil Jagielka - moved to Everton (£4m) where he has won two international
caps.

Michael Tonge - sold to Premier League new boys Stoke last summer for an
undisclosed fee. Has played just twice for Stoke this year.

Colin Kazim-Richards - now playing in Turkey for Fenerbahce.

Rob Hulse - striker who was sold to Derby for £1.75m in July 2008.

Claude Davis - Jamaican defender who left Sheffield United for Derby after
the Blades were relegated. Now reunited with Neil Warnock at Crystal Palace
having been relegated twice.

Paul Ifill - another former Blade now at Palace with Warnock.

Jon Stead - journeyman striker at his third club (Ipswich) since leaving
Bramall Lane two years ago.

Mikele Leigertwood - sold to QPR for £900,000 in August 2007.

Ade Akinbiyi - another journeyman striker, sold to Burnley in January 2007
for £750,000.

Chris Armstrong - defender now at Reading, left Sheff Utd in a £500,000 deal
last summer.

Keith Gillespie - now at Bradford by way of Charlton whom he joined on a
free from the Blades in November 2008..

David Unsworth - the former Hammer left the Blades in January 2007 for a
brief sojourn in the Premiership with Wigan. Sold to Burnley six months
later, now registered with Huddersfield.

Christian Nade - sold to Hearts following relegation from the Premiership
for an undisclosed fee.

Paddy Kenny - still at Sheffield United.

Chris Morgan - defender who almost killed Barnsley's Iain Hume, still
playing at Bramall Lane.

Matthew Kilgallon - still at Sheffield United.

Nick Montgomery - still featuring on a regular basis for the Blades.

Stephen Quinn - appearing regularly for the Blades having spent time on loan
at MK Dons and Rotherham.

Danny Webber - still playing for the Blades, the striker has scored 6 goals
in 39 appearances this season.

Ian Bennett - back-up keeper who has featured just twice in the Championship
this season.

Derek Geary - still at Sheffield United but last played in August 2008.

Leigh Bromby - defender sold to Watford for £600,000 in January 2008, now
back at Bramall Lane on loan.

Sue and be damned
Billy Blagg - Wed Mar 18 2009
West Ham Online

West Ham United, the board and fans, were rocked again yesterday with the
news that Soccernet and WestHamOnline self-styled pundit Billy Blagg, is set
to sue the club for an undisclosed sum following the two years wrangling
over the Carlos Tevez affair.

This follows earlier news that ex-Sheffield United boss Neil 'Nice Guy'
Warnock, several United players who suffered the pains of relegation in 2007
and Leeds supremo 'Cuddly' Ken Bates, were considering their own legal
actions against the East London club.

As the Carlos Tevez affair appears set to rumble on, the latest set of
claims from people seemingly unconnected with the incident, only opened up
further complications for the beleaguered Hammers. Leeds United's claim
stems from the fact that Elland Road outfit sold several players to their
Yorkshire rivals as the Blades bought desperately in an attempt to stay in
the Premiership. When Sheffield were relegated on the last day of the
2006/07 season, Leeds suffered financially from the contingency elements of
the transfer deals that would have allowed Leeds a greater share of the
transfer profit had Sheffield United survived.

"When Sheffield United got relegated on the last day of the season we missed
out on a substantial sum" said Bates "That's what we lost and if they are
being compensated for their loss we believe we should be compensated for our
loss. There are other clubs in the same boat who have similar claims."

When asked to explain his involvement in the Tevez saga, Blagg was adamant
his claim was 'not a joke'. "I've spent a great deal of time writing
articles and gossiping on the Internet chat forums about Tevez; I've had to
endure hours of typing as I've been answering idiots who email me about the
whole mess. People think I get paid for this but it's just a labour of love
for me."

Blagg went on "I think I should be able to claim some compensation from some
of the costs lost when we failed to qualify for the Champions League in
2006/07" When asked to explain his baffling remarks, Blagg explained: "We
went into the 2006/07 season as unlucky losers in the Cup Final and European
football beckoned. We started the campaign well with a squad of young
players and a manager reckoned to be one of the best up and coming bosses in
the Premiership".

Blagg continues "Had Tevez and Mascherano not joined, then the money could
have been spent on other players more in keeping with those already at the
club, and the dressing room spirit and the Cup Final experience would have
acted as a springboard to give us our best ever Premiership finish".

Asked to explain his wild assumptions, the ex-North Bank boy explained;
"I've discussed this with both Lord Griffiths, Henry Winter, Graham Taylor
and Frank Clark and we spent the whole day re-enacting the season without
Tevez and 'Masher' on Football Manager 04 and, when Thierry Henry scored in
the 89th minute at Roots Hall to give us a 2-1 win the three points were
enough to push us into 3rd place behind Blackpool"

Blagg citied "stress" and "worry" as part of his expected claim against the
Hammers and is expected to ask for at least £50k. The part-time I.T.
Consultant later explained his reasons for the sum: "My training contract
runs out at the end of this week and I'm not going to be earning anything,
both Lady B and my cat Paolo di Cattio, are having their teeth done this
week and I've got a big gas bill coming in and, without any income, I think
Scott Duxbury should put some money my way"

Internet rumours that Blagg was also thinking of suing Henry Winter were
later denied although Winter's comments in a Times article that 'Tevez had
kept the Hammers up' were thought to be crucial in Lord Griffith's decision
to allow Sheffield United's case. Blagg commented "I had to pay Henry Winter
for a direct quote that I used in my book, 'Nightmare on Green Street' and I
was hoping to get a few bob back - but I've decided I'd be better off
chasing West Ham as they have more money"

Bjorgolfur Gudmundsson was unavailable for comment.

Critics of Carlos Tevez claim cases guilty of misunderstanding legal process
Telegraph.co.uk
By Brian Moore
Last Updated: 7:23PM GMT 18 Mar 2009

Those that portended all manner of claims arising out of the decision of the
Football Association tribunal to award damages to Sheffield United following
their successful claim against West Ham United will be feeling rather smug
about the news that former manager Neil Warnock and some Sheffield players
are considering taking action against the Hammers for alleged personal
losses.

Such oracles misunderstood the legal process first time round and will
probably do so again. All legal tribunals have to decide matters on the
balance of probabilities; they are not required to and could never achieve
certainty. Furthermore, whatever claims arise from their decisions are not
within their control and should not be a factor in judging the instant case.


Sheffield United demand £45m over Carlos Tevez affairAny claims as those
above will be decided on another simple legal principle - remoteness. Not
every consequence of a breach of contract, trust or duty gives a right to
damages. In this way the relatives of Hillsborough victims were deemed
insufficiently proximate to recover damages for distress, whereas the police
officers at the scene were so deemed.

You may not agree with the decisions made by a judicial body, but it is
misguided to condemn its function as a result; more so if condemnation comes
from ignorance of the principles by which all such bodies operate.

FA facing further Tevez fallout• Players' claim could lead to another
arbitration case
Lawyers expecting reply from West Ham within week
Owen Gibson The Guardian, Thursday 19 March 2009

The FA may have to convene yet another independent tribunal to examine the
fallout from the Carlos Tevez affair if West Ham United fail to settle a
claim from Sheffield United's former squad, it has emerged. The group of
around 20 players taking action against both West Ham and their own club
could take their case to arbitration under the FA's rules, despite Lord
Griffiths having already chaired a panel that examined the dispute between
Sheffield United and West Ham.

Because the players were not part of that claim, which was settled before
Lord Griffiths was able to decide on compensation, with an agreement that
West Ham would pay the Yorkshire club £15m over five years plus an extra £5m
if the club was sold, they are free to start their own process. The
likelihood of yet another arbitration case could further drag out an already
tortuous regulatory process.

Since 2007, when the Hammers stayed up partly thanks to the contribution of
Tevez, the case has already covered: the original Premier League judgment
that imposed a fine of £5.5m for breaking rules on third-party ownership;
the Griffiths panel that was critical of West Ham's conduct in the aftermath
of that decision; and the joint FA and Premier League investigation
announced this year to examine the consequences of his findings.

It is understood that the lawyer representing the group of players and
backroom staff, Chris Farnell of IPS Law, is expecting to hear back from
West Ham within the next week.

On Tuesday, the club issued a strongly worded statement in which it promised
to "strongly resist any attempts to prolong this matter through the courts
both to protect our interests and those of the wider game" and warned that
the spiraling claims could lead to "legal anarchy".

The Upton Park club, which had hoped to draw a line under the case, claimed
not to have received any "formal legal claims". But Farnell is believed to
have been in correspondence with West Ham for more than six months.It is
believed that if neither West Ham or Sheffield United come up with a
satisfactory settlement, the most likely outcome is that the case will be
taken to arbitration under the FA's rule K5.

An FA spokesman yesterday confirmed that the players would be within their
rights to pursue the case through its regulatory framework.

In addition to the Sheffield United players who are claiming for lost
earnings and bonuses that they would have been due had they stayed up, then
manager Neil Warnock is also speaking to his lawyers and Leeds United
chairman Ken Bates is considering launching a claim for success-related
bonuses that would have been due on transfer fees had the Blades stayed up.

Tevez twist: Rivals wants a slice of Blades' £25m compensation
By Simon Cass Last updated at 1:22 AM on 19th March 2009
Daily Mail

Sunderland, West Bromwich Albion and Preston are understood to have taken
legal advice about launching a compensation claim against Sheffield United
as the ramifications of the Carlos Tevez affair rumble on. Leeds United
chairman Ken Bates revealed yesterday that he is considering staking a claim
for a £500,000 slice of the £25million West Ham have agreed to pay Sheffield
United in compensation for their relegation two years ago. Bates believes
that he is entitled a windfall because three players he sold to the
Sheffield club during the 2006-07 season - midfielder Matthew Kilgallon,
striker Rob Hulse and Ian Bennett - had clauses written into their contracts
entitling Leeds to bonus payments should their Yorkshire rivals have stayed
in the top flight. Using the same criteria, Sunderland West Bromwich and
Preston are now considering following suit as the 'legal anarchy' predicted
in yesterday's Sportsmail by West Ham chief executive Scott Duxbury appears
to be gathering pace. Preston sold defenders Chris Lucketti and Claude Davis
to United in the summer of 2006, while West Bromwich transferred Geoff
Horsfield and Sunderland striker Jon Stead moved to Bramall Lane in the
January transfer window. Former Sheffield United manager Neil Warnock and
several of his players are already seeking legal advice about launching a
compensation claim against West Ham for loss of earnings as a result of the
Blades' relegation on the last day of the season two years ago.

Tevezgate - entering the realms of farce
Cmon Yu Irons

Not so much entering as it goes, we're there already. The claim by Bates up
at Leeds that if Sheffield United are due compo then so are they because
they are missing out on add-ons for players sold to the Blades who would
have made more Premiership apperances had they not been relegated isn't
laughable because he's serious. It is though, by any right thinking
individual, absurd, perverse and just plain opportunist. What next? Perhaps
WHUFC will now receive small claims court summonses from all of the burger
and hot dog retailers around Sheffield who will claim loss of earnings
because of reduced crowd size. It's just as logical.

West Ham been made to carry the can for someone else's incompetence?
Posted by: Rob Facey , on Wed 18 Mar 2009
West Ham Football Fancast

Football FanCast columnist Rob Facey wonders when the PL will admit the
blame for allowing the Carlos Tevez affair drag on and what they can do to
ease West Ham's pain?

Just when we thought it was over, Neil Warnock said he will be suing West
Ham for financial loss. Up to 20 players are reportedly considering the same
thing. Not to mention Fulham and Wigan who, as one lawyer speaking on Sky
Sports News helpfully pointed out, are more than entitled to try their luck
considering that they finished below West Ham in 2006/07, earning less as a
result.

West Ham are being made to carry the can for Premier League incompetence,
but can anything be done to stop this from becoming the norm?

In a statement released by the East London club, West Ham warned of 'legal
anarchy' unless the FA, Premier League and other relevant authorities get a
grip on the situation.

"Despite the media coverage, West Ham United have received no formal legal
claims from Sheffield United players or their previous manager [Neil
Warnock] relating to the so-called Tevez affair," the statement read, as
reported in The Independent.

"The club have settled the matter of compensation and can see no basis for
claims being brought outside of the arbitration process, established by the
Football Association.

"However, it is now becoming clear that the ruling by Lord Griffiths has
encouraged a potentially endless legal chain of claims and counter claims.
There is a lot more at stake than the finances of West Ham United and we
will do all we can to stop this matter ending in a form of legal anarchy."


While Warnock has not yet officially filed a legal complaint, he has gone on
record to say that he "should still be a Premier League manager" and is
widely expected to go ahead with this in the coming days.

The media coverage is not the problem here, it is the Premier League's
incompetence in dealing with the issue in the first place.

If an adequate punishment was delivered as soon as a problem was seen then
we would not be discussing this 3 years later.

As well as the fine West Ham received at the time, not to mention the out of
court settlement agreed between the clubs this week, the club are now going
to be subjected to claims from individuals.

Where will this end? Why can't the Premier League admit they made a mistake
and are making West Ham pay for it?

It's chocks away for the legal silly season, the long running Tevez saga has
provided a glimpse of light at the end of the respective tunnels of the
lawyers who had no work, and the toothless Players Union who have fallen
breathlessly for the lead role they feel they can fill in defending their
precious little charges. Sheffield United may be the first club to discover
the extent of the newly active legal minefield primed to go off if Barnsley
are relegated and their directors choose to link their relegation to League
One with the elbow assault by Chris Morgan, the Sheffield United captain,
into the face of Iain Hume, Barnsley's now incapacitated striker and record
signing. This is just the start, can of worms? -Ed

ZOLA KID ZO KEEN 19/03/2009
The Mirror

West Ham kid Junior Stanislas has pleaded with boss Gianfranco Zola to hand
him his first start. The winger, 19, made his debut as a second-half
substitute in Monday's scoreless draw with West Brom. He now wants Zola to
give him the chance to show what he can do over 90 minutes. Stanislas said:
"It was good to get 20-25 minutes. Obviously it wasn't long enough for me to
do everything. To start a game would be nice. I just want to get some more
gametime under my belt." Former Southend loanee Stanislas is the seventh
graduate of the Hammers academy to appear in the first team this season. And
he believes there are more to follow on the club's production line,
including reserve team skipper Bondz N'Gala. He added: "Bondz will get his
chance. I've got mine and he will get his."

Bondz N'Gala tipped be next off West Ham conveyor belt

Junior Stanislas has told West Ham United fans that defender Bondz N'Gala
will be the next off the development conveyor belt. The winger told
whufc.com: "Bondz will get his chance as well. I've got mine and he will get
his so it's all good. It was a good experience for me. "We're in seventh
place and could maybe have played a bit better and picked up a couple more
points but, personally, it was a good start for me."

Hammers reserves coach Alex Dyer also said of N'Gala: "I see that hopefully
he can go on and play first-team football, hopefully with West Ham but, if
not, certainly at a good level of the game. He works hard in training and
trains with the first team all the time now and you can see that he's
developing. He's comfortable on the ball and he can pass it. You can see
that he encourages others to do the best around him and that's why I made
him captain."
