It has been reported 18 current and ex-Blades players - and former manager Neil Warnock - are considering seeking damages from West Ham, who recently agreed an undisclosed out-of-court settlement with Sheffield United. West Ham were initially fined £5.5million by the Premier League for failing to fully disclose the terms of the deal that brought Carlos Tevez and fellow Argentinian Javier Mascherano to England in 2007. Tevez's goals kept the Hammers in the Premier League at the Blades' expense. Horsfield, now at Lincoln, told the Sheffield Star: "There are no personal grudges against West Ham from any of the Sheffield United players involved, myself included. "But the fact is we lost considerable sums of money as a result of being relegated to the Championship because our wages dropped as a consequence. "It's nothing personal or about being bitter, but about justice."
