Surprise, surprise - it was a ruse all the time! " West Ham have dropped their complaint to the Premier League over Fulhamâs attempt to sign Ravel Morrison. The Hammers reported Fulham on Jan 15, effectively accusing the Cottagers of tapping up midfielder Morrison after rejecting a bid of around £4million. West Ham officials were upset former Fulham head coach Rene Meulensteen publicly claimed Morrison wanted to move to Craven Cottage. Despite Meulensteenâs comments, Fulham had been confident of proving they did not act against the rules, believing they had enough evidence to show Morrison had been made available for transfer. The fact Morrison has subsequently joined Championship club Queens Park Rangers on loan would support suggestions the 21-year-old was free to leave Upton Park."

So much of an emergency that they decided to delay it a week so he could play in any potential play off final. 'Emergency' my a*se.
'Emergency' loan is a technical description that the football league use to get round having loans after the transfer window. I think that all loans happening since the window are either emergency loans or youth loans.
No surprises here. Redknapp basically came out a week after Rene's comments and said exactly the same thing regarding Ravel wanting to leave West Ham. Don't remember any complaint being made against Arry though?
