Day Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 West Ham and Sheffield United have brought an end to the Carlos Tevez saga by agreeing an out-of-court settlement for compensation. The two clubs have been in dispute ever since Tevez helped secure the Hammers' Premier League status at the Blades' expense in 2007. However, with the affair having dragged on for almost two years a conclusion to the matter has finally been found.

The agreement now means an independent tribunal which was due to reconvene on Monday will no longer proceed.

The tribunal will not be resuming."
