If the Premiership allows Man Utd to deal directly with Jia (the agent) then they will effectively be allowing their own rules to be broken. That is not going to happen!<BR/>I don' t have much sympathy for the agent in this case, since he, presumably, knowingly entered into an illegal agreement to his advantage: the one he made with Chairman Brown (on the previous West JHam Board).<BR/>As far as the present Chairman "Eggs" is concerned, that dodgy agreement has already cost him a whopping 5.5 million, three times more than any previous fine. My guess is that West Ham and the Premiership will stick to their laurels and ensure that Man utd deal directly with the Hammers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8894943384900315982.post-41570223332655988292007-07-09T00:59:00.001+00:002007-07-09T00:59:00.001+00:00Appears that there is general agreement that Joorb...Appears that there is general agreement that Joorbachian does have strong case for owning/controlling player who kept West Ham in Premiership by playing 3 games after West Ham said they had regained his control, otherwise why would everyone think the transfer money will eventually make its way to him?<BR/><BR/>This is obviously unfair on Sheffield United.

Surely a contract is a two way agreement and one party deciding to cancel the agreement must also be agreed with the other party. West Ham's actions after the PremierLeague's decision was totally one sided and as such the contract that they entered into with Joorabchiran still stands. Essentially meaning that legally he and not West Ham own the player.<BR/><BR/>I fear that this is the major issue. If this is proven in a court of law (and with the Blades high court case pending) it would mean West Ham have continued the play Tevez illegally but more importantly with the PremierLeague's blessing. Which would open both parties up to Law Suits from Sheffield United.<BR/><BR/>What ever happens, morally everyone knows that West Ham are at fault and the PremierLeague handled things very badly indeed, but that will not help the Blades.<BR/><BR/>As for Tevez, he will definately be at Old Trafford next season!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8894943384900315982.post-49875969673106758682007-07-09T00:57:00.000+00:002007-07-09T00:57:00.000+00:00Interesting piece on the legal ramifications.On a ...Interesting piece on the legal ramifications.<BR/><BR/>On a footballing level, Tevez's signing is a mouth-watering prospect for Utd, and, together with Rooney and Ronaldo, could help Utd stay at the top for many seasons.<BR/><BR/>And who said Fergie should retire peacefully?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8894943384900315982.post-70627985807671052632007-07-09T00:53:00.001+00:002007-07-09T00:53:00.001+00:00Let me get this right.

Surely, like any contract, its a two-way thing and can only be "ripped up" if both parties agree. I'd like to rip up my mortgage contract with my bank and keep my house, but I think the bank would beg to differ. Seems to me that the premier league is trying to do anything it can to ensure its decision not to deduct West Ham points does not come under further scrutiny. Sheff Utd should keep going with their just fight!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8894943384900315982.post-90156894564106305102007-07-09T00:49:00.000+00:002007-07-09T00:49:00.000+00:00People!

Chelsea got ripped off on that one, although with the findings of the current police investigation, that 16 million may have to be paid back eventually. With SAF's hypnotic control over the FA, that would be unlikely though. Oh well, for Roman, it's only beer money anyway.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
