English Premier News :: West Ham pay out over £10m to settle the "Tevez Affair"

Posted on 2009-03-17 by Gooner

West Ham and Sheffield United have finally come to an agreement over the long-running Carlos Tevez affair, ending nearly two years of legal wrangling.

It is believed a settlement of between £10-£15 million - to be paid over a five-year period - has been agreed by the clubs, with the Blades accepting significantly less than the £45 million they initially demanded.

That is the figure they believe represents the true cost of relegation to the Championship - a fate they insist they would have avoided were it not for Tevez's goals which helped keep the Hammers up.

Precise details of the deal have not been made available but both sides have declared their happiness at resolving the matter.
