    So June 18th is the big day. Another meeting has been called by the FA over the proper punishment of West Ham who may now face the drop from the EPL, while Sheffield would be given automatic promotion.

    What do most of you feel will happen?

    Imagine the fire sale of talent leaving West Ham if point deduction led to their relegation. Few players on the irons I wouldn't mind seeing at Fulham.

    If there was to be a pt. reduction (should've been), it would've happened then, there isn't a snowball's chance in hades that anything will be done this time.

    The folks over at Sheffield Utd are quite confident they will be back in the prem this season. I am not sure if I would bet against them. The FA has been able to gather more information on the Tevez and Mascherano transfers and if they have enough evidence as Sheffield Utd claims they do, West Ham could be getting the chop.

    The PL would look stupid if they did send west ham down after sending out letters saying "don't challenge!"

    Common sense rarely provales in the UK, especially when one might look daft doing so, unless Sheffield United have a strong case to show the PL have acted illegally then I suspect it will be a whitewash.

    The further question is what will happen to the EPL if they DO deduct points at this juncture. Wet Spam have already spent beaucoup Euros this summer, and there'd be another lawsuit filed within minutes if Sheff U is upheld.

    The funny thing would be if Sheff U WERE back in the Prem without their pain-in-the-ass manager.

    Don't think Sheffield would fair too well with out Warnock. Plus Jagielka is moving on to green pastures.

    The odds for any football governing body admitting they were wrong is slim to none, that goes for the FA, UEFA (village idiots) and FIFA. West Ham shouldn't have much to worry about.
