Perhaps we should take him on loan and then do a ‘West Ham’ and tear up the agreement and desclare that we now own him!!!

@MoYa
If past experiences are anything to go by, I think Fergie’s planB is … Wait another year.

Which courts have authority to validate the agreements between:
WHU / MSI
Tevez / MSI
United / MSI
Considering that MSI and Tevez are not British and the agreements between them have been signed outside of the UK.
Who can determine whether the contracts are valid or not?

I think the premier league has interfered with tevez and west ham too much and has fucked it all up. Before, MSI owned the player and so the transfer fee would have gone to them, not the host club. But the premier league made it so that west ham, who paid absolutely nothing for tevez, now owns the player and would receive the bulk, if not all, of the transfer fee, whereas they really deserve nothing. That Â£5.5m fine could actually end up making them money in the end. The system surely does not work.

It certainly seems like the whole Tevez deal might not go through so easily after all… I just hope that Fergie has got a plan B if he does not land his man… And for the type of money we are willing to spend we could definately get a top top striker.
I still rate that Fabio Quagliarella would be a master stroke signing and the fee is really a steal!

I still like the earlier analogy I read: If you borrow a car and tear up the log book, does that mean that the car is yours?

Does it make sense for West Ham to obtain Tevez and Mascherano by paying next to nothing and then claim they can receive the bulk of the transfer fee?

West Ham got themselves into this mess on their own: they probably made misleading representation to the premier league so that Tevez can play in the final 3 games. I can see no-win situation for WH here, although as a United fan I don’t really care as long as we get Tevez before season starts.

It wont happen like you state. Man utd is a big club; rich and influential, they are sure to have the contacts and the resources to
get the job done. How stuff works behind the closed doors is not
for average joe/fan to understand. Shrewd men are dealing with shrewd men- sometihing will be worked by 1 AUG if not next week.
Stay assured.

Even if the clause is a penalty clause, it does not necessarily mean that the whole contract is void. The court may sever the penalty clause and treat the contract as alive.
