SHEFFIELD United chairman Kevin McCabe is calling on the Premier League to reinvestigate West Ham over the Carlos Tevez affair in the light of last week's arbitration findings.
Breaking his silence on the dramatic legal victory, McCabe told the Yorkshire Post that the Premier League should be true to its word to reopen the case if further evidence of the Hammers' breaching League rules emerged.
After the FA arbitration found West Ham had breached rules over the third party agreement with Tevez's 'owners' for a second time, McCabe said: "What are they going to do about it? The Premier League should adhere to what it said. They should reinvestigate."
The Blades chairman would not comment on what an appropriate penalty for West Ham would be but still remains angry the only "justice" available to United is financial compensation in the region of £30m instead of reinstatement to the Premier League.
In May last year, after West Ham were fined £5.5m over the secret third party agreement, the Premier League said the London club would face further action if there was any suspicion the Hammers had breached undertakings to tear up the offending third party agreement.
The FA arbitration found that West Ham had privately assured Tevez's 'owners', represented by Kia Joorabchian, the club would continue to abide by the agreement despite the opposite undertaking to the Premier League.
