Tevez: Don't blame me
Carlos Tevez has told Sky Sports News that he does not feel responsible for the ongoing feud between West Ham and Sheffield United.
An arbitration panel ruled that Argentina striker Tevez, now at Manchester United, should not have been allowed to play for West Ham in the final matches of the 2006/07 season.
Tevez helped the Hammers avoid relegation during those games, at the expense of Sheffield United, and the Blades are now seeking a compensation fee, believed to be in the region of £50million.
The two clubs are set to return to the High Court in March to decide upon a compensation figure, but Tevez is not worried by the saga.
"As far as I am concerned I did nothing wrong," said Tevez. "I was not the person in charge of all the paperwork.
"I did my job on the pitch and that is where the matter ends for me."
