New Delhi: The FA and Premier League are set to take another look at the seemingly interminable controversy over Carlos Tevez's time at West Ham.
Reports in England have confirmed that the Football Association and Premier League are to conduct a fresh enquiry into the circumstances surrounding the time spent at West Ham United by Tevez.
The striker, now at Manchester United, where he has been involved in a dispute over a new contract, played a significant part in keeping the Hammers in the Premier League at the end of the 2006/07 season, at the expense of Sheffield United, who recently conducted a successful legal action against West Ham over the affair.
The Professional Footballers' Association chief, Gordon Taylor, earlier this week blamed the whole sorry mess surrounding Tevez on the evils of third party ownership of players. Tevez is registered with a company known as MSI and is currently only on loan at Manchester United.
The FA confirmed in a statement that they would: "insitute a joint enquiry into the views expressed by the Independent Arbitration Tribunal chaired by Lord Griffiths in September 2008 which dealt with the compensation claim by Sheffield United aginst West Ham United under FA rules.
"The joint enquiry will examine whether the conduct of West Ham United immediately after the Independent Disciplinary Commission's decision of the 27th April 2007 amounted to further breaches of Premier League or FA rules."
The saga now looks set to rumble on following the FA's announcement of a fresh enquiry.
