Former Sheffield United boss Neil Warnock has come out firing at Premier League Chief Executive Richard Scudamore and acknowledged that he is looking into a personal compensation claim against West Ham United following their 25 Million Pound compensation settlement with the Blades.

Warnock is adamant that Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore should have lost his job over the circumstances in which West Ham remained in the top flight.
He said: ‘I think Scudamore is an absolute disgrace. I’d love to get him in a room on my own for an hour, no holds barred.’
He insists United’s case was swept under the carpet because of their perceived lack of clout, arguing: ‘If it was any other club, Scudamore would have made sure the facts came out. I find it amazing that he has kept his job. If it had been a big club, the truth would have come out earlier and it would have been sorted.’
Warnock, now Crystal Palace manager, left Bramall Lane by mutual consent three days after his club’s relegation in May 2007.
He added: ‘I’ll be looking into this now. I just wanted to see the club’s case out of the way first. As far as I’m concerned, I should still be a Premier League manager. And I think the players have a case, too.’
Of Monday’s compensation announcement, Warnock said: ‘It justifies what we’ve said all along. We’ve had a lot of people criticise us for taking it this far – but that’s what justice is all about. But this still doesn’t make it right for me or the United fans – or anyone else involved.’Image via Pictures
