Sheffield United are preparing to spring a massive surprise on the Premier League and West Ham after requesting that Carlos Tevezââ¬â¢s owners MSI give evidence on their behalf.United chairman Kevin McCabe has asked Kia Joorabchian, Tevezââ¬â¢s closest adviser, to help with their bitter legal fight. McCabe believes Joorabchian can help provide the evidence they hope will keep them in the Premier League. Joorabchianââ¬â¢s legal advisers are discussing the possibility that he might appear in person ââ¬â or at least give written evidence ââ¬â at the Premier Leagueââ¬â¢s unprecedented arbitration panel, which sits on June 18 in London.His appearance could have a devastating impact on the defence put forward from Upton Park.Sheffield United, who are refusing to accept relegation, are believed to be encouraged by his positive response.Joorabchian was unavailable for comment yesterday, but has previously told Sportsmail: "West Ham have unilaterally terminated the (Tevez) agreement and I have left it in the hands of my lawyer, Graham Shear, to deal with the matter."The panel is examining whether Premier League rules were followed and whether the independent commission acted correctly in deciding against a points deduction for West Ham over irregularities in the signings of Tevez and Javier Mascherano.Sheffield United are confident and are withholding new manager Bryan Robsonââ¬â¢s transfer budget while the matter remains unresolved.
