Neil Warnock has backed Sheffield United's continued fight over the Carlos Tevez affair, but doesn't expect his former club to be reinstated to the Premier League.

Warnock left the Blades following their relegation from the top-flight at the end of last season.

The 55-year-old believes his former employers were right to insist on an independent arbitration panel ruling to decide whether West Ham should have been fined and not docked points after they broke league rules over the signing of Tevez and Javier Mascherano last summer.

However, Warnock doesn't anticipate the panel overturning the original ruling.

"I think it is quite right that the club has carried on the fight because most people thought at the time it was an injustice even though it happened late in the day," he told BBC Radio Five Live's Sportsweek programme.

"I don't think anybody is anticipating a reversal of the decision, but I think it is right that they carry on the fight to the arbitration."

Meanwhile, Warnock has revealed he is looking to return to club management following a month out of the firing line.

"It's funny really, two years ago, I thought, 'Right, I am going to pack in at 55', and then certain things happened at particular times in my life and just made me want to carry on," he continued.

"I have enjoyed it that much and I just think there is another club and probably another chairman, another group of fans, who would be interested in me taking over and doing well with them."
