BB Round-up – Spurs to relaunch £15m move, Hammers snubbed, Aston Villa turn to the academy to balance books

The FA’s failure to punish Wayne Rooney has brought out roar in some quarters with many slamming the double standards within the game. Dave Whelan has been particularly vocal this morning at the decision, but you have to ask the question as to what they are supposed to do given the laws that FIFA have in place with regards to retrospective punishments. They are only following the letter of the law here much to the annoyance of many.

In the papers this morning there has been a mixed bag of stories that includes Ancelotti sticking up for Ashley Cole; Keegan warns Pardew over Carroll cash, while Aston Villa turn to the academy in order to balance the club’s books.
