Gary Megson has dismissed Phil Gartside's claims Bolton may sue West Ham after the independent arbitration ruling in the Carlos Tevez affair.

Tevez: Helped keep West Ham up

Gartside said the Trotters were monitoring Sheffield United's legal battle after a tribunal recently ruled that the Argentina striker had been worth at least three points to the Hammers in their successful fight against relegation in 2006-07. Tevez scored twice in a 3-1 victory over Bolton at Upton Park on May 5 of that season, but Megson said: "Everyone will have some form of link to the Carlos Tevez affair when he was at West Ham, be it a direct or tenuous link.

"I think the only people who have got a really legitimate case are Sheffield United, and from our point of view, I'm positive we won't be doing anything about it."
