"The three-man panel, headed by retired High Court judge Sir Philip Otton, did not have the power to change West Ham's punishment but could have ordered a new independent commission to judge the case."
Sounds to me like nothing ever was going to change.
Thankfully it was some other team than us getting shafted like this, but did anyone expect the new appeal comission to overturn the original decision or find in Sheff Utd's favour at all?
the only avenue open I think was to find that the original panel had not followed the proper process, which I suppose was always going to be unlikely. Shame. The Premier League now has a cheaters' charter.
