Apologies if this has already been discussed, but I was listening to H&J on Talksport today, and they mentioned that West Ham should have been deducted 10 points because their parent company went into administration, following the precedent of Southampton. Coupled with their good fortune on the Tevez affair, do you get the feeling that the tossers have friends in high places (Brooking?)?
 
I think the difference is that Southamptons Holding company was exactly that, a company whose only assets were Southampton FC and St Marys, the set up was in place to enable Southampton FC to directly avoid administration should things go pear shaped

Whereas West ham were owned by Bjorgolfur Gudmundsson and Hansa Holdings and West Ham were one of their many assets.
