West Ham will appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport over an independent tribunal ruling against them in the Carlos Tevez affair.
West Ham will appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport over an independent tribunal ruling against them in the Carlos Tevez affair.
The Hammers face having to pay Sheffield United more than £30m in compensation as a result of the ruling.
United claim Tevez was not eligible to play at the end of the 2006/07 season, when he played a key role in West Ham’s top flight survival at their expense.
Any decision whether to hold a hearing would be at CAS’s discretion.
“While we respect the judgement of the FA arbitration panel, we do not accept that one player’s contribution can be placed over that of the team as a whole nor used as the basis for judging the results of a 38-game season,” said a West Ham statement.
