Tevez dispute may go beyond FIFA

Manchester United's bid to sign Carlos Tevez could go to the Court of Arbitration for Sport if FIFA cannot resolve the issue, according to Mick McGuire.

United chief executive David Gill has confirmed that the matter is likely to go before FIFA's dispute resolution chamber (DRC), or there is a possibility it could be heard by the player status committee (PSC).

McGuire, an English board member of FIFPro who represent players in disputes that go to the DRC, said: "It could drag on. But FIFA make the regulations on transfer windows and know the time frames - you would hope they take that into account. You can take it to the next stage, to CAS, and that would be the final appeal stage."

Whether a case is suitable for the DRC or PSC depends on the nature of the dispute, if it is club-to-club or player-to-club.

McGuire added: "It's a matter of which avenue is most appropriate. It could be seen as a dispute between Manchester United and West Ham, or between Tevez and West Ham."
