The appearance of hedge funds, however troublesome, is only natural when one considers the massive amounts of money at stake in a lightly regulated market. The MSI ownership of Tevez and Mascherano represented a hostile takeover of sorts, and the attempted use of these contracts as leverage for the purchase of West Ham (the theory floated here) seems all but confirmed.
