The Carlos Tevez Affair has now cost West Ham more than £20million - after the Upton Park club agreed an out-of-court settlement in excess of £15m with Sheffield United last night.
An FA arbitration panel had been due to meet on Monday to decide the size of the compensation for the Bramall Lane club after their relegation in 2007.

But the Hammers have decided to settle, paying up over five years with the first cash this summer.
The Blades originally demanded up to £45m for their relegation after striker Tevez played for West Ham while owned by a third party. The Hammers were fined £5.5m by the Premier League for this in April 2007.
