  Sheffield United have failed in their attempts to be reinstated in the Premier League after an independent arbitration panel dismissed their claim of an unfair punishment handed out to West Ham United over the Carlos Tevez affair.
  
  The Blades had wanted the panel to order a new disciplinary commission deal with West Ham but had their claim dismissed on Tuesday.
  
  The Yorkshire outfit also lost another claim - made jointly with Fulham - that the Premier League should have forced West Ham to de-register Tevez and it means United will be forced to concentrate on life in the Championship for the coming season.
  
  A statement from the arbitration panel read: "The tribunal have found in favour of the FA Premier League on both issues and dismissed the claims of Sheffield United FC and Fulham FC."

  At least they put up as much of a fight as they could.
