Joorabchian confirmed on Wednesday night he is prepared to hand over all documentation relating to Tevez's contract at West Ham if instructed by the High Court after Sheffield United have their appeal against the Premier League inquiry's verdict heard on Friday.

It is understood the documentation could potentially be harmful to West Ham's case - and that may go some way to helping settle the contractual wrangle which is holding up Tevez's transfer to Old Trafford. However, Joorabchian would much prefer to reach an agreement with West Ham and the Premier League over Tevez's future out of court.

Tevez's representatives have been trying to kick-start his transfer to Manchester United by doing the same type of deal that took Javier Mascherano from West Ham to Liverpool.

In order to do so, the Hammers would have to agree to cancel his registration but it is understood both the club and the Premier League have refused.

The Hammers are aware that if they do anything contrary to the Premier League's instructions, they could be left open to further disciplinary action over third-party agreements.

Joorabchian is now considering an appeal for FIFA to act as arbiters and try to untangle the contractual mess.

FIFA say they may be prepared to step in to settle the transfer dispute - but they have yet to receive any official request to do so.

Tevez's move to United has stalled due to the Premier League's insistence that West Ham must receive the bulk of the £30million-plus fee.

That is because the Hammers were allowed to keep playing Tevez last season after assuring the Premier League all third-party clauses in the player's contract had been severed. But Joorabchian claims he never agreed to rip up the contract and therefore still owns the player's economic rights.
