From BBC Sheffield United are to sue West Ham for the cost of their relegation from the Premier League. The Blades were relegated after the Premier League opted not to dock West Ham points for fielding an ineligible player in Carlos Tevez. Sheffield United have estimated the cost of their relegation at between £30m-£50m. A spokesman said: "After discussion with legal advisors, we will be seeking substantial compensation." The Blades recently failed in their High Court bid to force the Premier League to take disciplinary action against West Ham. Sheffield United took their case to the High Court after an arbitration panel rejected their claim against the Premier League, who failed to deduct points from West Ham over the transfers of Tevez and Javier Mascherano. Instead, the Hammers were fined a record £5.5m by the Premier League. The Blades claim West Ham gained an unfair advantage by signing an illicit player in Tevez.
Are They Going To......... bring up how themselves sold a player and wouldn't allow him to play against them? They should just drop it now because they look like sore losers.
