FIFA Considers its Position

After their meeting with FIFA over the transfer of Carlos Tevez to Man Utd a spokesman from the English FA said,

"At the end of the meeting, the decision was left with FIFA as to whether they would take on this case themselves or, if not, what the right process would be to resolve it. We are hoping to hear the decision very soon."

Eggert Magnusson confirmed in this afternoon's press conference that West Ham are also waiting to hear from FIFA,

"I've heard nothing but the FA and the Premier League have met today at FIFA headquarters. I think FIFA have to decide if they have jurisdiction over the matter - and I hope so because everybody concerned wants it to go that way."
