Lawyers acting on behalf of Sheffield Utd have been told they will have to
wait until Christmas before discovering whether their attempts to prevent
the Hammers taking their case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport are
successful. The long-running saga took another twist today when Mr Justice
Teare, hearing the Yorkshire club's injunction appeal (designed to prevent
West Ham united from approaching the CAS) at the High Court this morning
told those present that he would take time to consider the evidence before
reaching a judgement "at some point before Christmas".
Sheffield United thought they had won millions from West Ham United last
month when an arbitration panel acting on behalf of the FA declared the
Championship club had the right to sue for damages. The decision prompted
premature celebrations from Blades fans who printed bank notes featuring
Carlos Tevez, the player at the centre of the whole affair. However a series
of delays means that they will have to wait for several months at least
before getting their hands on any cash - and only then if all of West Ham
United's attempts to have the crazy arbitration ruling overturned fail.
Further litigation awaits early next year when both clubs are set to attend
a damages hearing in which it will be decided if and how much Sheffield
United should be awarded.
