England - 25 January, 2008
Adjust font size:
English Sheffield United is pushing their case against relegation from the Premier League to the Football Association's arbitration.
The club is seeking compensation for being relegated in place of West Ham, which was hit with a fine, but not with a points deduction, after an illicit transfer. If West Ham would have taken a points penalty, that club would have fallen to the second division instead of Sheffield.
Sheffield United failed in two previous appeals to reverse the decision.
Carlos Tevez, one of the illegal transfers, helped West Ham with a strong finishing run that sent Sheffield tumbling to the second tier
