Blades to seek compensation?
Sheffield United could look for compensation after the High Court rejected their bid to force new disciplinary action against West Ham over the Carlos Tevez affair.
The Blades face missing out on a £50 million windfall after being relegated from the top flight on the final day of the Premiership season.
Club solicitor Paul Stothard said: "Sheffield United are not precluded from taking further action whether against the Premier League or West Ham.
"We have a long agenda of things we can do with regard to this - we are still on the first page. I think you can be fairly confident that things won't rest there.
"If we cannot get reinstated then compensation would be top of the agenda because there are very significant consequences financially for being relegated from the Premier League wrongfully, as we believe we have been."
A private hearing denied Sheffield United permission to appeal against the decision not to dock West Ham points for breaking regulations over the signings of Argentina duo Tevez and Javier Mascherano last August.
