I seem to remember that when United eventually got Berbatov, that part of the deal rested upon Levy dropping his so called legal action

I remember that being mentioned. Is that not the same as someone knowing you commited a crime, but saying nothing if you give them money? This isn't the World of International Crime, but if a rule had been breached, then UTD should have been punished, and if he kept the evidence in reciept of a bit of extra cash........surely that can't be right. More paper talk for me, he had nothing.
Mostly when you put a bid in and it isn't accepted that is that, once the player decides to leave, what can you do, that is where Spurs ended up. Couldn't keep him and wanted more money, couldn't keep him meant we didn't have to up our offer, so he offered him to City out of spite, and we ended up paying 5Mill more that we needed to.
I think that is why Ferguson met him at the airport, a show of how serious we wanted him, just in case City decided to send a fleet of Limos to intercept him, City where desperate at that point (or the owner was) to flex his cash muscle.
