It all looks ridiculous anyway. IMO every club has the right to select payed and registered first team players as they wish to suit their own needs. However, the grey area has been created and is now open to question.
Thinking about it though, West Ham rested several players before they played us. Are they not going to look a bit silly if the story is true?

Mancienne (17)
Elokobi (11)
Hill (2)

It's all ridiculous anyway. The likes of Maierhofer, Dikgacoi, Surman, Riise etc may have made precious few starts, but all of them cost a fair amount of money, they're not YTS kids or anything like that.
