West Ham United is extremely disappointed that Sheffield United has seen fit
to embark on this latest desperate action. Not only does Sheffield United's
claim lack legal merit, but it is also based on Sheffield United's incorrect
belief that West Ham United withheld an agreement from the Premier League
and the April Disciplinary Commission.
In fact, long before the disciplinary hearing, West Ham United made the
Premier League fully aware of the existence and status of the agreement in
question. This agreement was then included in the documentation produced for
the Disciplinary Commission who were therefore also aware of its existence
throughout the proceedings.
Sheffield United's latest assertions clearly demonstrate a fundamental
misunderstanding of the situation and any proceedings brought by them will
be vigorously defended by West Ham United.
In the meantime, West Ham United and its new owners will not permit these
repeated slurs to go unchallenged and are in discussions with their legal
advisers in relation to the action they might take.
