West Ham are set to learn their fate after being charged with breaking regulations over the signings of Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano and if found guilty the Hammers could be hit by a points deduction.

Former Hammers boss Pardew said: "All things considered, I think it is best if the football decides."

The Hammers have closed to within three points of safety but must beat Wigan on Saturday to realistically keep their survival hopes alive and their track record against fellow relegation strugglers does not make for pleasant reading.

West Ham may have beaten Manchester United and Arsenal (twice) this season, but they have lost key games to Watford, Charlton and, most recently, Sheffield United.

Manager Alan Curbishley said: "We haven't done so well against the teams around us in the Premiership all season. They are vital moments of the season, telling games.

"That has to change. Not only have we missed out on taking the points but other teams have gained points at our expense.

"We were disappointed about the performance at Sheffield United in terms of what we've been doing in the last month or so.

"We created chances, had we taken them it all could have changed. They scored two avoidable goals and got a foothold. That has to change this weekend. We have to beat Wigan in order to buck that trend."
