Apparently the hearing wasn't concluded within the 3 weeks allocated to it, and the remainder has been postponed until June. Farcical.
The Telegraph is reporting that the hearing has now resumed (earlier than originally expected) and will be concluded next week with a verdict expected 4-5 weeks later. They're also saying that, if found guilty, there may need to be a separate hearing to determine the punishment.
Complex criminal trials can make it to court quicker than this.
It could end up costing us a lot of money due to this delay as with each passing transfer window that passes he has left remaining on his contract, which in turn alters the value to the club.

I wouldn't be surprised if, should Paqutá be cleared, West Ham took the FA to court over potential lost earnings. It could be good for another 5-10 mil.

Can't see it at all, there was legitimate cause for investigation, and I think there may even be something in the PL rules that prevents such an action.
