West Ham United suffered a blow today with the news they cannot appeal the decision made against them in the Carloz Tevez affair
West Ham’s hopes of avoiding a huge payout in the Carlos Tevez affair have suffered a serious setback.
The Hammers are drafting a “statement of appeal” to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, yet the Lausanne court will not be able to hear the case.
Its secretary general, Matthieu Reeb, told BBC Sport: “As things stand, CAS would not be able to hear this case.
“We would need agreement from Sheffield United and for Football Association rules to allow an appeal to CAS.”
Sheffield United are unlikely, to say the least, to give agreement to an appeal that could overturn the decision of the independent tribunal.
And the FA actually has a rule that stipulates there cannot be an appeal from the verdict of an independent tribunal.
