Kia Joorabchian says he has the evidence to sink West Ham over Tevez
Friday February 29,2008
By Harry Harris
Kia Joorabchian last night declared he has the evidence to prove West Ham broke third-party ownership rules again – even after being fined £5.5million.
Referring to his writ against the club, he said: “This could send shockwaves through the game.”
Joorabchian has brought a £7.1m court action against West Ham over the Carlos Tevez affair.
The club yesterday filed their defence, but Joorabchian told me exclusively last night: “Time’s ticking and the implications are immense, because I will be amazed if up to 10 Premier League clubs do not ask [Premier League chief executive] Richard Scudamore to reopen the case against them.
I know they have broken the rules and broken them badly.
“They have been lying and cheating and I promise you I have brought this court case, not because of the money but because it’s personal.”
Lies may seem a strong word but even the Premier League, when they decided to impose a record fine on West Ham for their improper conduct last April, concluded that former chief executive, Paul Aldridge, had told “a direct lie” to Scudamore.
“It’s time the whole truth came out,” said Joorabchian.
“I want everything out in the open now and I want the rest of the Premier League clubs to see what West Ham have been doing to them and doing to me.
“There were agreements in place, I know it and they know it and it might have been in conversations but they were in front of witnesses, in front of lawyers – and they write everything down.
“I’m determined to take this case all the way because it’s now a point of principle.”
Joorabchian was, however, unable to discuss in detail the particulars of the claim
