Joorabchian, who is trying to negotiate Tevez's move to Manchester United, accused West Ham of failing to act upon "repeated promises and assurances" with regard to the player's future.

And he confirmed his intention to bring "the true circumstances" to the attention of both FIFA and the Football Association.

World governing body FIFA have already been called in to end the deadlock surrounding Tevez's proposed move to Old Trafford.

A planned medical for the 24-year-old has been cancelled, with United officials confirming that while Tevez did visit United's Carrington training complex on Wednesday - meeting, amongst others, skipper Gary Neville - he has not undergone any physical examination, which would have been conducted away from club premises anyway.

United have attempted to distance themselves from the argument surrounding Tevez's registration, although it is blatantly obvious they believe Joorabchian, not West Ham, is the party who has control over the Argentina star.

Joorabchian believes so too and a statement released to PA Sport by lawyers representing the Iranian businessman and his company MSI read: "Press statements both today [Wednesday] and over the last few weeks are wholly inconsistent with the real circumstances and the situation presented to us by West Ham concerning Carlos Tevez.

"We as a company have patiently kept away from the issues including West Ham in order to give the club the opportunity to resolve the matter in a legal and agreeable way acceptable to all parties.

"West Ham have consistently provided private assurances while at the same time making contrary statements to the public at large. We can no longer allow these inconsistencies to continue unaddressed.

"We wish to make clear that at all times it has been our intention to find an amicable solution and Carlos Tevez has, at no time, acted improperly in relation to his move to Manchester United Football Club as he was given permission via his representatives to talk to other clubs to reach an amicable agreement."
