West Ham agree settlement with Kia Joorabchian

West Ham United's protracted dispute with Kia Joorabchian ended last night when the parties reached an out-of-court settlement. Joorabchian took legal action against the Barclays Premier League club in March, claiming that he was owed payments totalling £7.1millon. The agent has withdrawn his High Court claim against the club and will act as a consultant for them on future transfers, for which he will be paid a fee. The club have said that the agreement had been lodged with the Premier League, but declined to reveal the length or structure of the deal.

It is likely, however, that Joorabchian will recover the £7.1million, which he claimed he was owed, in transfer dealings over the next few years. An agent can expect to receive commission of 5 per cent of the transfer fee. Joorabchian will receive a fee from West Ham in two ways: when the club buy a player he “owns” or is the agent of, or if he acts on behalf of the club in the sale of players. West Ham, who were tenth in the Premier League, are expected to sell between six and ten players this summer.

West Ham described the settlement as “amicable”. It is beneficial for them to have Joorabchian “on their side” before separate legal claims from Sheffield United and Terence Brown, West Ham's former chairman. The Yorkshire club believe that they were relegated at the end of the 2006-07 season as a result of West Ham's admitted breach of Premier League rules in the transfer of Carlos Tévez from Corinthians, the Brazilian club. The arbitration proceedings, which come under FA rules, begin on Monday.

Brown is claiming that he is owed £5million in wages and other proceeds after he was asked to leave as director last year. West Ham are considering a countersuit because they are upset that they were fined £5.5million for breaching league rules in the signing of Tévez, which Brown had overseen. West Ham have said that their arguments in both disputes were not affected by the previous disagreement with Joorabchian.

Don't think this Blade is too happy ?

So the sad fantasy continues we were relegated because WE didnt get enough points, we were not good enough, we had a manager who was completely out of his depth in the Premier League, who wasted funds available on sub standard squad players and no body who made a difference. He even ****ed it up on the final day when we only needed a point. Add that to a chairman who backed the clown, who may well be a very good businessman but when it comes to football it hasnt a clue, keeps making big promises but just like many before him doesnt deliver. Europe in 5 years, a top 10 premier league club, a new kop (sorry shed stuck at the back), substantial funds for team strengthening just some of the continuing bullsh!t. 2 years ago we took a giant step forward and since then we have taken several giant steps backwards. Every week that passes us like many other clubs fall further and further behind the "top 10" and buying up clubs around the world in the process making the McCabe empire larger isnt going to change anything.

I really do hate them cockney cunts with a passion.

The media treat West Ham like they've forgiven them for their dirty, blatant cheating. For as long as I breathe, I will never let anybody forget or forgive West Ham for their crimes against humanity. If I had the power I would wipe that evil cheating club off the face of the earth. They think they're invincible because of Bobby Moore this, World Cup 1966 that. The story at the end of the day remains the same.

WEST HAM CHEATED - FACT.

Fuck off to Hillsbrough then!

With BB's recent posts digging on McCabe and 'our Terry' and any possible player he can, it would not surprise me if he was already there

I think BB's last post was him Quoting someone else, not what he had written (but he may have thought it).

I think we'd all be happier when the last West Ham case is done.
