Weight Lifts for Paquetá as West Ham Stay Focused After Spot Fixing Clear
I watched the weight lift from Lucas Paquetá when the FA cleared him.
But the FA charged him with four counts last year for deliberately getting booked to sway betting markets.
The investigation started in August 2023 and threatened his City dream.
It could have ended his career entirely.
Potter said a weight was lifted when the case concluded.
He faced a lengthy ban that would wreck his season.
In these stories I trust the badge more than the boardroom.
The soul of West Ham lives in the stands, not in the suits.
That is why I expect a hard press and a harder tackle from the Irons.
I distrust high lines unless a centre back guards the space behind them.
And if it involves rivals Spurs or Millwall, there will be a jab in the mix.
TLDR 1 Paquetá cleared of spot fixing.
TLDR 2 The FA ends the investigation with no ban.
TLDR 3 West Ham can move on and keep pressing.
