Clubs relegated from the Premier League hand over their membership card to newly promoted card -thus giving them Premier League status, however Sheffield United chairman Kevin McCabe plans to spread chaos through the Premier League by refusing to hand the Blades card over.
Sheffield United are still upset in how the Carlos Tevez row has been handed and will refuse to hand over their card - handing there card would accept relegation and end their top flight status.
The Blades and the Premier League have accepted a 'arbitration' committee who will review the case and could decide a new punishment for West Ham United, not allowing a new club a PL card will also prevent new fixtures to be published until the card is handed over.
