could this be the reason why the tevez deal is taking so long???
Very likely...
But City could announce the deal, and then the Premier League could have a look at the paperwork?
It's not exactly drawn out when you consider the Ronaldinho and Kaka sagas.
There's a theory that the deal is done, but City want to hold on to the 1st July 2009 so that they can make a big splash with their Umbro Day -but wouldn't that take away from it? i.e The world would be talking baout tevez, and not Umbro?
Simplest explanation is that Tevez is being paid by Utd until the 30th June 2009, and has given himself until then to determine his future. The size of the fee, and wages seems to be frightening off rivals at the moment
