Blades launch fresh appeal
-
Sheffield United have launched an appeal in the High Court after failing in their last bid to get reinstated to the Premier League.
An independent arbitration panel ruled this week that the FA Premier League was correct in its decision to fine West Ham over the Carlos Tevez affair rather than dock points, which would have seen The Hammers relegated in place of The Blades.
But Sheffield United are now appealing that the arbitration panel made an error in law when considering a previous judgement.
The club had an appeal to set up a new disciplinary commission dismissed on Tuesday, and is now taking recourse in the High Court.
"The Premier League has just been advised by our legal team that Sheffield United have launched an appeal in the High Court under Section 69(2)(b) of the Arbitration Act 1996 against the award of our arbitration panel yesterday under Section S of our Rules," said a Premier League spokesman.
"Our legal team inform us that this is a very narrow window of appeal where Sheffield United are claiming that the arbitration panel under Sir Philip Otton made an error in law by failing to send back the original decision to the independent disciplinary commission for reconsideration.
"It is a matter of record that the Premier League has acted at all times in accordance with our rule book and procedures, as such we expect this matter to be expedited as quickly as possible and, again, we will not be altering any plans for next season." -
