Tevez gets green light for Bolton

The Hammers, who were fined £5.5million by the Premier League for failing to reveal the full details surrounding the deal which brought Tevez and fellow Argentine Javier Mascherano to the club, were forced to amend the contract so Tevez could face Wigan last weekend.

It is believed that further contractual problems could make Tevez ineligible but it is seems that there is no reason why he should not play on Saturday.

A third party agreement reached with players' part-owner Kia Joorabchian has now been terminated by the Hammers, which freed Tevez to play against Wigan last weekend and for the remainder of the season.

West Ham are in talks with Joorabchian over a new contractual arrangement regarding Tevez's future "beyond the end of the season".

The Hammers could buy Tevez outright, which would cost them around £20million, or strike a similar loan deal that Mascherano has at Liverpool.

Any change to the status quo, any new arrangement must have met the Premier League's satisfaction for Tevez to play against Bolton.

The Premier League are understood to be privately satisfied with the commission's final judgement as a whole.

But if West Ham succeed in staying up, sports lawyer Mel Goldberg believes the relegated clubs could have grounds to mount a legal challenge.

Goldberg said: "I do believe that, if a club goes down by a point or two, those relegated clubs would have a decent claim.

"It seems part of the decision has been attributed to the fact that it is near the end of the season and they didn't want to upset the supporters."
