Sheffield 部隊d won a small but 潜在的に 重要な victory in the Carlos Tevez 事件/事情/状勢 when the 首相 League agreed to 始める,決める up an 仲裁 パネル盤 to 支配する on the 事例/患者 that has left English football teetering on the brink of 大混乱.

The League will 容易にする the 任命 of a three-man パネル盤 in the next few days but it still may not be enough to appease 部隊d and the other clubs who want a new 審理,公聴会 に引き続いて the 初めの (売買)手数料,委託(する)/委員会/権限's 決定/判定勝ち(する) not to deduct points but instead to 罰金 West Ham 部隊d £5.5million に引き続いて the 登録 列/漕ぐ/騒動 伴う/関わるing Tevez and Javier Mascherano.

Carlos Tevez

部隊d believe there should be a 完全に new 過程 but the League are 主張するing that any 仲裁 can only look at whether the 初めの (売買)手数料,委託(する)/委員会/権限 was 行為/行うd 適切に.

But if the パネル盤 considered the 過程 was 欠陥のある then they could send the 事件/事情/状勢 支援する to the (売買)手数料,委託(する)/委員会/権限 to review the 罰 手渡すd out to West Ham.

部隊d say they will proceed with 合法的な 活動/戦闘 if they feel their 事例/患者 is not 適切に heard.

News of the 首相 League's 受託 of 仲裁 at least 申し込む/申し出s them a shred of hope, as 部隊d chairman Kevin McCabe 定評のある after returning from New York, where he has been 会合 可能性のある 投資家s in the club.

"We're pleased to hear that," he said, when told the news by The Mail on Sunday. "I have 会合s with a QC on Monday. We are ready to get our team together within 24 hours to put our 証言,証人/目撃する 声明 together.

"We will not 残り/休憩(する) until Sheffield 部隊d's position is 保護するd from this 不正な 決定/判定勝ち(する). We are not 存在 不当な but we do have very strong feelings on this. The 首相 League should be working to accom modate one of their member clubs, who have been wronged."

A 首相 League source 確認するd the 条件 under which the 仲裁 パネル盤 will 会を召集する. "It can't be about the 決定/判定勝ち(する), only the 過程," he said.

"The only way the 決定/判定勝ち(する) can be overturned is if 仲裁 decides it was a 欠陥d 過程 or an unrealistic judgment and they send it 支援する to the 初めの (売買)手数料,委託(する)/委員会/権限 to review the 罰.

"It will be hard for anyone to 証明する that this was an irrational judgment."

The new パネル盤 will 構成する three lawyers or 裁判官s from a パネル盤 of 50 who are on call to the 首相 League. Sheffield 部隊d will be able to choose one 指名する from the 名簿(に載せる)/表(にあげる), the 首相 League another, with the third agreed 相互に.

The 過程 is likely to take a fortnight, making it ありそうもない that it will be 完全にするd before the League's 年次の 会合 in 11 days.

部隊d will get the chance to put their 事例/患者, as will the 首相 League, to show that their board, 含むing chairman Dave Richards and 長,指導者 (n)役員/(a)執行力のある Richard Scudamore, 行為/法令/行動するd 適切に.

But the 狭くする 条件 of 言及/関連 may not be enough to 満足させる McCabe and his club, or even the other clubs who have come out 公然と to 支援する Sheffield 部隊d: Wigan, Charlton, Fulham and Middlesbrough.

Indeed, McCabe remains willing to take 合法的な 活動/戦闘.

"This was a bizarre 決定/判定勝ち(する)-making 過程," he said. "The 決定/判定勝ち(する) not to deduct points and to 取り消す the 登録 of Tevez is 全く 欠陥d and 違法な. You can't have regard for the players and fans of one club without having regard for all the fans and players at other clubs.

Kevin McCabe

"Tevez and Mascherano were 登録(する)d because the West Ham 長,指導者 (n)役員/(a)執行力のある either misled or lied to the 首相 League - and those are the words from the 審理,公聴会 - さもなければ they would not have been re gistered.

"For the 首相 League not to carry out the order of the 審理,公聴会 to 取り消す the 登録 is barely 信頼できる. Two wrongs make a その上の wrong."

The 首相 League now hope that Sheffield 部隊d will 受託する the 結果 of the 仲裁 過程 as binding, but the club could take the 事例/患者 その上の if the 力/強力にするs of the new パネル盤 are so 限られた/立憲的な.

McCabe remains baffled by the 結果 of the 審理,公聴会 on April 27, やめる beyond why it took so long for the 首相 League to hear the 事例/患者 when 疑問s were 初めは raised about the 有効性,効力 of the 移転s last August.

Tevez and Mascherano were owned by 管理/経営 companies rather than West Ham, in 違反 of 支配するs that 妨げる third parties from 影響(力)ing a club's 事件/事情/状勢s.

The 問題/発行する turned not on the 登録 of the players, which was always valid, but on their 契約s with the clubs, with the 管理/経営 companies 潜在的に able to say when the players could be sold, thus having an undue 影響(力) both on the club and the 首相 League.

West Ham 調印するd two world-class players in 違反 of League 支配するs, it would later transpire.

It was believed in August that there would be no problems since those companies were controlled by Kia Joorabchian, who was 交渉するing to take over West Ham.

Mascherano was 現実に on a five-year 契約, Tevez four. However, with an Icelandic 国際借款団/連合-led by Eggert Magnusson instead 伸び(る)ing 支配(する)/統制する in December, the 問題/発行する (機の)カム to a 長,率いる and the 首相 League were 軍隊d to 調査/捜査する.

The (売買)手数料,委託(する)/委員会/権限 decided a large 罰金 was more appropriate than ドッキングする/減らす/ドックに入れるing points, 部分的に/不公平に 予定 to the タイミング of the 判決,裁定, which (機の)カム in April rather than January.

The clubs 持続する that if West Ham were 有罪の, the タイミング should make no difference and they should have had points deducted.

The 審理,公聴会 itself 主張するd: "These are exceedingly serious 主張s because they 量 to not only an obvious and 審議する/熟考する 違反 of the 支配するs but a 墓/厳粛/彫る/重大な 違反 of tru st as to the FA 首相 League 選挙権を持つ/選挙人 members because in our finding the club has been 責任がある dishonesty and deceit.

"The 支配するs of the FAPL 許す us to penalise a club by deducting points. That is a course that we consider would 普通は follow from such a 違反 of these 支配するs."

Sheffield United players

On 最高の,を越す of that, the 審理,公聴会 結論するd: "We order the 登録 of Carlos Tevez can be 終結させるd by the FAPL."

In the event, Tevez was later that day みなすd 適格の to play the next day against Wigan and for the 残り/休憩(する) of the season.

The 首相 League 反対する by 説 that seven 推論する/理由s are given in the judgment for the 決定/判定勝ち(する) not to ドッキングする/減らす/ドックに入れる points or 取り消す Tevez's 登録 - Mascherano then having moved on to Liverpool where all the paperwork was (疑いを)晴らすd up - and that they were 事実上の/代理 within the remit of the 審理,公聴会.

They 追加する that the 決定/判定勝ち(する) to (疑いを)晴らす Tevez for その後の games was taken in the 利益/興味 of the League as a whole, in 協議 with lawyers.

Had Tevez not been (疑いを)晴らすd to play, they believe every club who had 以前 dropped points to West Ham could (人命などを)奪う,主張する their results should be 無効の.

仲裁 over the next fortnight is the next 行う/開催する/段階 in a bitter 論争 that could rumble on over the summer with Sheffield 部隊d in such 決定するd mood, not surprisingly when up to £50m is at 火刑/賭ける under the new TV 取引,協定.

Already, Wigan chairman Dave Whelan has called for the 辞職s of Scudamore and Richards.

One 解答, which has come from Sheffield 部隊d, is for a 21-club 首相の職 next season, with four 存在 relegated, though it is hard to see members 投票(する)ing for it, with TV money diluted and one club each 週末 存在 without a fixture.

"Most in football, forgetting club 同盟s, know that this is a peculiar circumstance where points should have been deducted," 主張するs McCabe.

"Italy relegated clubs last season. If football in the UK cannot (疑いを)晴らす up this mess, then it's struggling. It's not on."
