i don't suppose he bothered mentioning whether he agreed to terminate the contract while he was slabbering on did he?

How can he claim that the deal was above board, surely the fact that west ham were fined a record amount is proof that everything was not cosher. Not to mention the uproar which followed the decision which has seen so many call for a points deduction.

I wish we could just have a Q and A with all involved to get to the bottom of some very basic problems with the deal. Leaving everyone in the dark like this is just adding fuel to the fire as speculation and misunderstanding run rife.

He's said a bit more than that

Check this bit...

WHAT HAPPENED ONCE THE PREMIER LEAGUE HAD MADE THEIR RULING AND THE CONTRACT NEEDED TO BE RENEGOTIATED IN ORDER FOR TEVEZ TO PLAY?


LC: Did you agree to tear up the contract?

KJ:West Ham have unilaterally terminated the agreement and I have left it in the hands of my lawyer, Graham Shear, to deal with the matter.

LC: Are you comfortable with that.

KJ: Yes.

LC: To qualify Carlos to play, to satisfy the Premier League?

KJ: I am assuming so, or else he wouldn’t have been able to play.

LC: Who now owns Carlos Tevez, is he a West Ham player?

KJ: He is registered to West Ham.

LC: If he moves to another club, do West Ham make a profit?

KJ: No. To use an analogy, take Ben Foster. If he transferred to another club, do Watford get the transfer fee?

LC: Is the loan deal indefinite?

KJ: No.

LC: If he doesn’t stay at West Ham, could he go on loan to another club?

KJ: Yes.

LC: Do West Ham have a buy-out option on him?

KJ: That is confidential, but we are more than happy to talk to West Ham to try to resolve the problem, if they wish. Of course, Carlos’s views are paramount.

Sportsmail has since learned that the buy-out clause to own Tevez outright is £40million.

So seen as Tevez is on 'Loan' to Wet Spam is it Legal or Illegal for him to be on 'Loan' from a party that isn't another Football Team/Club?

Article 10 (Stated as Art. 10) in this PDF states 'Club' and not 'Random English/Iranian Business man and his companies'

Also, as the initial contract was effectively torn up (ending the initial loan) how is it possible that West Ham re-signed him on loan to allow him to play in the last few games of the season when the loan deadline had passed?

 

[Foxy]

it wasn't supposed to initially be a loan...

The club said: "West Ham United are delighted to announce the double signing of Argentinian World Cup stars Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano from Brazilian club Corinthians.
"The pair have been signed for an undisclosed fee and put pen-to-paper on permanent contracts with the club this afternoon. All other aspects of the transfers will remain confidential and undisclosed.
"The transfers represent a massive coup for the Hammers, who have beaten off some of Europe's biggest clubs to secure the services of the duo."

"Beaten off some of Europe's biggest clubs..." I wondered how they managed to get them!
