Former Sheffield United manager Neil Warnock is considering suing West Ham now that the two clubs have concluded their legal dispute over Carlos Tevez.

The Blades agreed a settlement with the Hammers on Monday after claiming compensation for the part Tevez played in keeping the London club up in 2007.

Warnock, whose side went down, told the BBC he would be "seeking legal advice".

He added: "We worked so hard that year. The club was going forward. You do feel bitter without a shadow of a doubt."

BBC Sport understands West Ham have agreed to pay the Blades about £20m in compensation, which will be paid in installments over a five-year period.

And if West Ham are sold within a certain timeframe, a further bond of £5m will be payable to Sheffield United.

Warnock, now boss of Crystal Palace, said he could think about his own position now that the clubs have sorted their issues.

"It's just been a matter of finalising all those details first before you think about your personal losses," he told Radio 5 Live.

Just when you think it's over... oh no nevermind, back to the courtroom.

I agree with football365. This is football's version of the neverending story.

Well lets be fair to Warnock, he probably did end up losing his job in the long run because of Tevez... but why didn't he sue sooner?

No idea. I agree that it was a fucking travesty, of course. How could you not agree? Tevez earned them the points and he wasn't a legal player. However, as you say it is ridiculous to wait this long before sueing.

Also, if you are left with the task of getting a point against Wigan at home to stay up on the last day, and you fail, you deserve to go down.

Not really, Wigan have a decent team now and had a decent team then.

Chimbonda, Landzaat, McCulloch etc.

It wasn't the best. Either way, it doesn't change the fact that it was a joke that Sheff Utd went down.

Funny when Warnock said he wants some time alone with Scudamore.

Sheff U have lost out a lot in the long run as well, losing players because of being sent down, not being able to get back up without those players and not being able to get new players because of not being able to get back up.

I was very disappointed when that West Ham team didn't go down. I remember laughing so much at their 4-3 defeat at home to Spurs.
