Blade's Continue Fake Fight for Justice

Sheffield United plc chairman Kevin McCabe says the FA tribunal into their claim for compensation against West Ham will meet next year.

"A date has been set for next year and respective clubs are now going through respective submission of claims.

We are led by the availability of QCs and the panel, so it's more likely mid-2008 than early. It's frustrating but that's the way the law works. We have regrettably gone beyond reinstatement so it's about financial compensation for having been relegated."

McCabe also believes Sheffield United can catch the Championship leaders, "if you can put a run together you can catch up."

It is understood that some marbles belonging to Mr McCabe have been reported as missing.
