Howard Investigation

[Beefy]

The Premier League will look into Tim Howard's absence from Everton's 4-2 loss to Manchester United on 28 April.
The goalkeeper moved to Goodison Park on a season-long loan last season but agreed a permanent move in February.

A Premier League spokesman told the News of the World: "As Howard's is a permanent transfer there is no reason why he could not have played.

"Had such a clause been included, we would not have allowed it - it would be a case of third party interference."

The 27-year-old American was not allowed to feature against United and was replaced by second-choice keeper Iain Turner who made a crucial error as the visitors overcame a two-goal deficit to win.

We certainly have no record of an agreement that Howard could not play on 28 April

And the Premier League are reported to be set to investigate whether an agreement over Howard's availability existed between the teams.

Before the match Everton boss David Moyes appeared to suggest that there had been a verbal agreement between the clubs over Howard's omission.

I must admit Phil, i wondered when the game was being played why Howard wasn't in goal?

Nothing to do with the bonus Everton got for one of the many clauses in Rooneys transfer deal should Man U win title?!? Too many dodgy goings on at minute in premier league and they should be regulated by an independant body not by know nothing FA.
