While the on-going saga over Carlos Tevez's porposed move to Manchester United is doing my standing in sportdaq no harm at all (bought at circa £9.50 and now trading north of £30), it is a bit of an embarrassing shambles. As I understand it, we have two parties claiming ownership of Carlos Tevez and looking to get their mits on £30 million or so of Manchester United's cash: West Ham and a character called Joorabchian. It was Joorabchian who brough Tevez to West Ham at a time when he was actively looking to purchase the London club. But he failed to buy the club and West Ham tore up their agreement with him to appease the Premier League, which doesn't allow third parties to own players. It seems to me that in ripping up their agreement with Joorabchian, West Ham were seeking to limit the damage from the revelation that Tevez's arrival at the club was dubious. And West Ham did avoid a points deduction and Tevez was allowed to continue playing for the club. It seems that Fifa have declined to involve themselves and have recommended that the affair be handled by the Court of Arbitration for Sport. Joorabchian, on the other hand, seems set to take matters to the High Court. What a mess. If Joorabchian is successful and manages to get his hands on the loot, where should that leave West Ham? In the Championship is my opinion.

Aye it's very murky waters in the world of football agents .Man Utd want to buy the player , but don't know who to pay the transfer fee to. I'm amazed at FIFA washing their hands of it though . They are supposed to be guardians of the game after all .

Read the book ''Foul!'' FIFA is one of the most corrupt organisations out there - a morass of slush funds, dodgy backhanders, and doing anything but for 'the good of the game'.

According to the forementioned book written by respected journalists Andrew Jennings, there is a sum of cash in some Swiss bank account which can come to light in the next 12 months which shows ISL paying FIFA for the security of rights to the World Cup. A bribe. It's ran by crooks. Blatter being numero uno. His expenses is massive. Do a little research into Jack Warner - the man what got a bed-ridden Mandela to fly to Trindad to secure a World Cup and asked for near on 7,000 tickets for 2006 World Cup.

A bribe. ISL went bust a few years back after over-extending into sports where it was harder to bribe people. It was rumoured for years they were paying-off former President Havelange, and Blatter (as the CEO under him) knew all details which is why the corrupt Brazilian had to back him as his successor. Unfortunately, no-one could ever find sufficient evidence to pin anything on the parties involved. Do a little research into Jack Warner Both Havelange and Blatter's powerbase was the national association in the developing world. Whilst they contributed almost in monetary terms to football, they were more numerous in terms of voting power. That's one reason why Havelange was keen to expand FIFA, because the associations in the tiny countries were easier to manipulate. Hence the massive expansion of the World Cup Finals, with more guaranteed places for the likes of the Caribbean, that powerhouse of world football. Anyway, it's alleged that large sums of money from the World Cup rights (laundered via ISL) went to corrupt officials like Warner and the African delegation to ensure their continued loyalty come election time.

Manchester United have finally completed the signing of Argentine striker Carlos Tevez. The summer saga involving Tevez eventually came to an end when the Premier League approved the deal - thought to be a two-year loan.
The 23-year-old had become a free agent when his agent Kia Joorabchian paid former club West Ham a £2m settlement.
Tevez is eligible to play against Reading on Sunday but the striker is not yet match fit.
