Warnock 'still bitter' over relegation
The Blades dropped out of the top flight in 2007 as a Carlos Tevez-inspired West Ham stayed up at their expense on the final day of the season.
The Hammers were fined after breaking rules regarding third-party ownership but they were not deducted points and Sheffield United have been seeking compensation for almost two years.
A settlement between the clubs was finally reached on Monday but Warnock, manager of the Blades at the time, is still furious with Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore and is thinking about launching a personal claim.
He told Sky Sports News: "I am pleased it's finalised because we knew all along we were in the right. There should have been action sooner but at least now it can be put to bed between the two clubs.
"If it had been a bigger club it would have been dealt with at the time and it wouldn't have been brushed under the carpet. I am very bitter about Richard Scudamore and the Premier League because it was my dream job as well.
"I wanted to get this out of the way first and then I would look at it. I will be taking legal advice myself.
"I just feel very bitter than I am not a Premier League manager still. If you only knew how much hard work it was in the seven years to get the team up to the Premier League, it was a bitter disappointment knowing Tevez shouldn't have been in the team the last few weeks."
Warnock has been criticised for pursuing the matter but he insists he has been motivated by a desire to see justice done rather than a private vendetta against the Hammers.
Asked if he had a vendetta, Warnock said: "Not really, no. I would love to manage them.
"You are going to get stick and we have been slaughtered in the London press, especially.
"But justice in England is the major thing and it would have been easy to brush Sheffield United aside.
"We have wanted the truth to come out all the way along the line. When wrongs have been done against you, you fight for your cause."
Warnock believes Sheffield United would have improved if they had avoided relegation in 2007 and would still be in the Premier League.
He explained: "I don't think anything can compensate you for losing your Premier League status.
"I think we could have been an established Premier League side and we had high hopes of taking the club forward, spending money in our first summer to keep us up.
"Even West Ham fans know, if you ask them why they stayed up, there is only one word and that is Tevez."
