Tevez [Merged]

Absolute nuts and listened to Kia far too much but what a bloody player, you forget how good some of his goals were.

Norwich was a 'well we've fucked it up but we've still had a great season' sort of day in the sun, with 'We never win at home and we never win away' getting plentiful airings from a surprisingly upbeat away following and our Argentinian strike force reminding us of what might have been...….. Funny how it all turned out at the end wasn't it:-)

That was the weekend of my 30th Birthday. I stayed over in Norwich and had a night out after the game. Top weekend!

We sang Never Win At Home for a good chunk of the last fifteen minutes

I always thought Tevez was only ever on loan at the scum.

How different things might have been if that Taco Bell had opened up a few years earlier.

Well check out the video for Kia's full explanation from his own mouth.

But reading between the lines, it seems like Tevez was at West Ham while 3rd party owned, then the league banned it. So then Tevez was essentially a free agent.

He signed for United on a 2 years contract, with an option to extend for a further 4 years (6 in total). If United had exercised that option, then Kia or MSI or whoever, couldn't have done anything about it, he was United's player.

The deadline for the 4 year option passed. It seems likely to me that Tevez's camp would have been due a huge signing on bonus had United exercised the option, so United let the option expire so they didn't have to pay it.

So essentially Tevez became a free agent again. Fergie then apparently called Tevez and left a voicemail saying he wanted him to stay. Perhaps they were trying to avoid paying the signing on fee, or perhaps wanted to renegotiate the length of the new contract.

But by this time, Kia had spoken to City and Tevez had agreed to come. The reported transfer fee we paid did not go to United, and was paid to Tevez's reps. He will have been a free agent again at this point, because his 2 year deal with United had expired.

The only person that really got screwed over here was Tevez. If he'd been a free agent and had respectable people advising him, he would have been due that fee himself.

And then when City signed him, he became a City player, with no 3rd party ownership.

tevez was never a free agent ? and united paid a loan fee to a 3rd party ownership because west ham must have still had is license because Kia said he was only a bit part agent at the time and the 3rd party had full control ??? funny that the 3rd party owners was part owned by Kia the agent

Kia was talking over gary neville about 3rd party ownership and was a tone in his voice to say if you want to go down that route we can talk about that. but gary shut up quick and change the subject ?? Kia knows he has got something on both united and city with tevez and it will be a ticking time bomb waiting to go off Kia put gary in his place and did not go down that route of talking about 3rd party rules ??

i have heard 3 or 4 different stories about tevez deal to united and something does not add up. and who really owned him and the premier league letting united sign him only on loan and having a contract and a signing option after 2 seasons. so who did united pay for the loan ?? and west ham must have been his parent club he played because they paid £5 million for him ? funny that his value at Corinthians was between £69 and £83 million
and west paid £5million ?? united did not pay west ham anything for tevez and a 3rd party was paid for the loan to united and premier league football rules are that a non football club is classed as a 3rd party ??
