Blades fail in High Court bid
Sheffield United have failed in their High Court bid to force new Premier League disciplinary action against West Ham over the Carlos Tevez affair.
A private hearing heard the Blades' case, but the men from Bramall Lane were denied permission to appeal a Premier League arbitration panel's decision to dismiss their bid for fresh action.
A statement read outside the court by the club's solicitor Paul Stothard said: "Sheffield United have not been granted leave to appeal aspects of the arbitration panel's decision earlier this month.
"This application was made on very limited grounds and it has also been denied on very limited grounds.
"Sheffield United are not precluded from taking further action whether against the Premier League or West Ham.
"We will consider our position with our professional advisors and make further statements in due course."
