Question time: West Ham face a hearing into allegations that outside firms owned stakes in Argentine players Javier Mascherano and Carlos Tevez (above)

Magnusson hopes that his lawyers can show that though the companies linked to Kia Joorabchian and Pini Zahavi did have agreements regarding the players, it made no difference to the running of the club or team selection. West Ham are further charged with failing to produce all relevant documents at the time.

If the hearing results in a points deduction, the club will undoubtedly appeal and the case could drag on into July.
