So for every injury as a result of a tackle, clubs should have the right to sue eachother? No football would ever be played because everybody would be in court full time.

It wasn't a tackle, it was assault...

I haven't seen the incident, but allowing clubs to be sued for the actions of a single player is a dangerous precedent to set and will lead to an awful lot of lawsuits being filed..

that warrants action against the player it doesnt give them the right to sue the club.

Yes it does, the club fields the player

Why didn't they fight tooth and nail for their status? I would want my club to say 'stick the money'. We want our status or nothing. Being in the Premiership should have been the only concern. Not the amount of money they could recieve from it. A one season 21 PL teams season would have been the fairest. Four relegations with only three up.

It was only one player. Like I said, if they were good enough they would have stayed up because they really had their own fate in their own hands.

this is not logical. it was westham's fault. and what if the 4 dont include sheff united and westham? the club at the 17th position would be kicking out a great fuss.

your logic is flawed.

the club fields the player to play football. not to assault the player. every player has to be responsible for their own actions and code of conduct on the field.

Its gonna be a bit ridiculous if every time a player gets injured the club goes to sue the other club.

This was the worst challenge since Keano on Haaland, it made Ben Thatcher look tame...

In "extreme" cases it should be the action, not every injury...

 

[Gary Is God]

The fact the players were in the position to sue West Ham for loss of earnings was a bit ridiculous, Ken Bates, the man who never misses a trick, discovered had sheffield stayed up additional clauses in transfer fees would've been owed so was gonna sue for that, even Fulham could've sued... where does it stop? It seems that had the Premier League had the bottle to do the right thing and relegate West Ham this all could've been avoided.

So United should have been sued for the actions of Keane? And the actions of Cantona?

Players are governed by rules but they also have free will and in a moment of madness the club has no control over the players actions. It's stupid to punish a club for something an individual did.

Did Cantona seriously injure a player maliciously causing them to have a weakened side for the rest of the year?

Keano should have been sued, sorry, but its the truth...

You've just successfully argued my point for me. Cheers.

Keano should have been sued, not the club.

 

[WATPOAE]

If someone assaults you in real life you get them charged for assault not sue them. If someone headbutts someone at work should their employers be held accountable for their employees actions?

Keano should have been sued, not the club.

I didn't mean just Keano, if it needed to go through the club then so be it

He asked if Keane or Cantona should be sued

Nice way if misinterpreting things to try win arguments :thumbsup:

Why? it would be just for one season and surly if like Zuco said all the clubs agreed with Sheffield United then let them have that extra spot. Not flawed at all, just one way of dealing with it. The bolded parts work.

I don't understand by the way, whats the difference between Liverpool fielding Mascherano and West Ham field Tevez that year? Poor paperwork?

Mascherano was properly registered with Liverpool
