The Tevez saga took another couple of twists today.
Firstly FIFA declined to rule on the matter, which was referred to them last week, recommending instead that the matter be settled with reference to the Court Of Abritration For Sport.United then indicated that they would be happy to take the matter to the Lausanne-based tribunal.
However a trip to Switzerland appeared to be off the agenda later this afternoon when MSI and Just Sports Inc announced that they had issued a High Court Writ demanding that Tevez be released in accordance with the contract from which United withdrew following consultation with the Premier League after the Independent Commission decision in April of this year.
The Independent Commission had commented as part of its decision that the contract allowing MSI to move Tevez on without the permission of either the player or West Ham was possibly "unenforceable", an opinion that now seems likely to be fully tested in the UK courts.
