Sheffield United on Monday embarked on their final legal challenge over the Carlos Tevez affair in an effort to win compensation for being relegated a year ago.
The Blades have taken West Ham to an arbitration hearing and are seeking between £30million and £50million in compensation.
The Coca-Cola Championship club claim the Hammers are to blame for their relegation from the Premier League a year ago, and for playing Tevez, who they claim was ineligible.
West Ham have refused any opportunity to settle before the hearing and insist they have a robust case, based mainly on the grounds that they had provided all the relevant information about Tevez to the Premier League, who then declared the striker eligible after the Hammers had been fined £5.5million for breaching rules on third-party ownership of players.
Sheffield United lost an arbitration hearing against the Premier League last year and this action, which takes place under the auspices of the Football Association, is their last throw of the dice.
The Blades are hoping Tevez’s representative, Kia Joorabchian, may provide some new information that may persuade the latest panel to find in their favour.
Tevez moved from West Ham to Manchester United last summer after Joorabchian’s company, Media Sports Investments, agreed to pay the London club £2million.
The hearing, which is taking place behind closed doors in London,

Carlos Tevez, hero of West Ham, is to have a movie made about his life.
The movie will start with his life in the mean streets of Buenos Aires known as Fort Apache, and hopefully finish with conquering the Champions League title against Chelsea.
West Ham FC will play an important role in the movie showing his accomplishment on how he and fighting West Ham Warriors made the great escape from relegation in 2007.
The film will also include the problems Tevez and West Ham had to face after the season ended (Need i say more?)
The movie will also show Tevezs’s major role in making this season successful for Manchester United, as there is no doubt they will
By Rooster Kia Joorabchian believes that West Ham owe him £7.1m for the last 3 games that Tevez played for the Hammers at the end of last season, Cmon Kia , you expect the High court to believe that West Ham agreed to that?
West Ham have dismissed allegations and compensation claims made by Carlos Tevez’s advisor Kia Joorabchian.
He has alleged that the Hammers entered into private agreements without the Premier League’s knowledge to ensure Tevez would be available to play in the final three matches of last season.
Joorabchian has also claimed in papers lodged with the High Court that West Ham owe him a total of £7.1million, which he asserts should have been paid by 31st January.
But the Hammers have dismissed both his allegations and compensation claims.
