Sheffield United have no intention of dropping their fight for
compensation following their relegation from the Premier League
last season.
The Blades maintain they were unfairly demoted after West Ham were
found guilty of breaching league regulations over the Carlos Tevez
affair.
Sheffield United plc chairman Kevin McCabe said: "We are heading
towards a Football Association tribunal.
"A date has been set for next year and respective clubs are now
going through respective submission of claims.
"We are led by the availability of QCs and the panel, so it's more
likely mid-2008 than early. It's frustrating but that's the way the
law works.
"We have regrettably gone beyond reinstatement so it's about
financial compensation for having been relegated unjustly after
another club, we purport, broke the rules."
