No, they won't. They're trying to weasel out of a deal they already agreed with Joorabchian over the price, and he - with my full sympathy this time - isn't going to let them do that.

Exactly.
This really is United being arrogant assuming that he would be so grateful that he is allowed to play for them that they would forget the original deal they signed.
I would really love us to snatch him from them, and for him to do really well and a be a great crowd favourite of ours.
He would really know what it was really like to be loved (unless he turned out like Lucas of course) 😉

It's United being broke rather than arrogant that is the cause of the situation.

So broke that they spent 17 mill £ on two unproven Serbian teenagers in january and wants to add 19000 more seats at OT. Yeah they're skint.

Those losses had no real effect on their transfer budget. They have still spent over 50 mill this season.

The whole Tevez saga is a bit strange. I think it's more down to them agreeing a fee when the loan deal was signed. And now want to get a better deal. Kia will probably spill the beans when his future is solved.
I think depending on their success they'll continue to spend big. As it seems now, that won't any time soon.
Gillett hinted that because of their debt arrangements they are forced to keep their spending to 25m net per season. If you look at the spending that seems about right over the time that Glazers have been in charge.

Didn't Gill say as much the other day, citing the global credit crunch as evidence the fee would need to be renegotiated?
Real Madrid reportedly offering 40m euro for him the other day wouldn't have helped Gill's bargaining position.

I don't think there is any "think" about it. All sides have more or less come out and said it.
United are trying to go back on an agreement.

On a sidenote - Is it being fanciful/naive to think that they'd really rather not give 22 million quid to some fucking crook like Kia Joorabchian?

Didn't stop them giving him £10m for a two-year loan deal. Nor did it stop us giving him £18m for Mascherano.
The more likely scenario is that they simply don't think Tevez is worth that much money. And he probably isn't.
