The football association (again)

The FA really burn my waffles. There is huge controversy at the moment because one team got relegated from the premier league costing them £60 million ($120 million). The team that didn't get relegated survived because their star player almost single handedly saved them. But that player was fielded illegaly because the team did not declare that he was owned by a third party, which is illegal in the UK. The team in question were fined £5 million but were not deducted points as the rules state and they survived relegation. Cue uproar. The FA could have fixed this. When a club wishes to field a player they should sign a piece of paper that states who owns that player. The small pring should say "I declare all this information to be correct and if it is later found to be incorrect then we accept a 10 point deduction." Problem solved. But the FA didn't do this and only later found out that West Ham had witheld paperwork (lied). West Ham are quite a historic and prestigious club and many ex players are powerful within the game. The FA now has to face allegations of bending the rules to save one of the special kids in the class from being expelled.
