An interesting question might be, in the case of Mascherano, why didn't West Ham, as the claim to have done in the Tevez deal, tear up the 3rd party agreement with MSI and thus demanda transfer fee from Liverpool. I mean if the ridiculous idea that you can do this is true, why would West Ham throw away this fee they could've got from Liverpool.

West Ham paid a £5.5million fine last season over the Tevez/Mascherano deals and now they want some sort of fee to compensate that seeing as he is intending to leave.
Mascherano left West Ham before the fine was issued so West Ham allowed him to leave no probs as they didn't know that a record fine was on its way. |

In all honesty what really what should happen (I think) is that the PL should stop anyone from signing Tevez and investigate the Liverpool transfer and get the clear before anything moves forward. They won't of course because it may implicate their own blunders but that's what should happen. |

West Ham never owned Mascherano so there was no fee due to them. They still had the illegal 3rd party agreement in place. All that happened was MSI negotiated a (possibly) legal agreement with Liverpool and his registration was transferred from West Ham. There was no pressure for West Ham to get paid for him as they admitted they didn't own his economic rights. With Tevez they claim they own his economic rights because they unilaterally canceled their contract with MSI.
Bedders is totally right about the PL being in charge of this case. They can not rule independently because it will make them look stupid and show that they were wrong not to deduct West Ham points if they admit that the contract with MSI is still in force. |

TBH, if MSI had kicked up a bit of a fuss at the time over the contract being canceled then none of this would have happened. It was obviously in their interests to let the PL think they were no longer involved so that their man could carry on playing. |

If there was no fine then we wouldn't have any problem now, the got rid of Mascherano when he was nothing more than a drain on the wage bill, it looks to me like West Ham are holding out for some sort of compensation from either United or Joorabchian to make up for the money they have lost. |

I don't see why West Ham have to receive a transfer fee. Afterall, they didn't pay one did they. Surely MSI could act as Tevez's agent and get paid an agents fee accordingly. This fee will of course be undisclosed so the PL won't know how much it is so can't complain. |

Its a pity they don't see it that way, they probably see it as paying over 6million (fine plus his wages) for a player and getting nothing back when he leaves. |
