Sheff Utd 'win West Ham tribunal' |

Sheffield United chairman Kevin McCabe has told BBC Radio 5 Live that an independent tribunal has ruled against West Ham over the Carlos Tevez affair. McCabe said it would be "inappropriate" to discuss figures of compensation despite reports claiming the Hammers could be forced to pay £30m. West Ham were found guilty of breaching league regulations in the signing of Tevez and Javier Mascherano in 2006. The Hammers survived in the Premier League in 2007 at the Blades' expense. Rather than being docked points by the three-man Premier League arbitration panel, West Ham were fined £5.5m and went on to survive the drop on the final day, while Sheffield United were relegated. Having failed in their attempt to have the original punishment overturned, the Yorkshire outfit sought monetary recognition. McCabe told the club website: "I can confirm that both clubs have been notified of the ruling. The arbitration panel has awarded in our favour. "The matter is still legally in process so I do not wish to comment any further until we have completed that process. A West Ham spokesperson told BBC Radio 4:"We need to digest the full findings of the arbitration panel and will consult our lawyers on the next steps we might take before making any further comment."
