I know it’s cruel, but you’ve got to laugh. Craig Bellamy is rumoured to be on the verge of being sold by Manchester City to Sunderland. Well done, Craig. Makes your decision to leave West Ham in January look really worthwhile, doesn’t it? ROFL.

As I have said previously, on numerous occasions, this was the only conclusion that the PL/FA enquiry could logically and legitimately reach. The club followed the PL’s instructons to the letter and this was proven by the documentary evidence reproduced by the tabloids.
The Griffths ruling is perverse, sets a dangerous preccedent, and should really now be overturned by the FA. Lets see if the FA have the guts and, indeed, integrity to review the ruling. I think we all know the answer to that one, don’t we Lord Triesman!
From the club’s perspective, it will be interesting to see how they respond. The odds are that they will stick to the out of court ruling and keep the lid on the Tevez can of worms firmly screwed shut. But we shall see!
I had a number of robast exchanges with one or two other contributors on this subject, which is unusual for me! It would nice to hear from those contributors that were totally adamant that I had it wrong and that further significant punishment awaited us. Lets see if they are they big enough to admit that, in fact, it was them got it wrong?
Oh and its also futher vindication of Duxbury as well by the way! A hell of a lot of people owe Duxbury and West Ham Utd FC an ingraved apology!
I cannot wait to see the offical response from the club, that should make interesting reading. Factor X of course is the attitude of the new board to this development. The bankers are unlikely to just hand over compo payments of £25m if it can be avoided, are they?
I suppose the alternative view is that we voluntarily settled and are obliged to honour the agreement with the Blunts? Also, some will argument that we do not need a further distraction from matters on the field of play?
This is a genuinely interesting situation, lets see our the club respond?
Martin Samuels next column should also make interesting reading! For once I am actually looking to reading something in Sportsmail! lol.
Parker returned to full training on Wednesday, as reported on the club website.
