    Sheffield United plc
    ("Sheffield United" or the "Company")

    
Further to the press speculation the Company can confirm that they have been told they have been successful in their claim for compensation
against West Ham over the Carlos Tevez affair.
    
A Football Association arbitration hearing has awarded in favour of Sheffield United. 

Sheffield United Chairman Kevin McCabe said: "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."

    
The claim was considered by a three-man panel, made up of Lord Griffiths, a former president of MCC, Sir Anthony Colman, a former High Court
judge, and Robert Englehart, QC.  The panel will sit again at a date to be agreed to establish the level of the award.  This process is not 
expected to be concluded until the new year.
