Wigan, Sheffield United, Charlton and Fulham are still threatening legal action against the Premier League in the row over the eligibility of the Argentine striker to play for West Ham, and the so-called 'Gang of Four' are considering the stunt to put pressure on the chief executive.

Eye of a storm: Carlos Tevez in action against Sheffield United who were relegated on the last day of the season

The proposal would have to be tabled by Fulham or Wigan because Sheffield United and Charlton have been relegated.

Each top-flight club own a share in the Premier League but the Sheffield club are refusing to give their one back.

They are planning to turn up tomorrow, although they are likely to be denied entry and told to request a separate meeting.

United are leading the action over Tevez and there will be an arbitration hearing on 18-19 June.

Fulham are also heavily involved but have been told they have to make a separate claim.

The Premier League clubs are expected to approve a move to make their rule dealing with third-party ownership "more explicit" at tomorrow's meeting.

The League require a minimum of 14 votes to change or amend any of their regulations and will seek to make Rule U18 more transparent and so avoid any repeat of the Tevez controversy.

West Ham avoided a points deduction but were fined a record £5.5 million for not revealing details of 'side contracts' between the club and Kia Joorabchian's former company MSI, who were part owners of Argentine pair Tevez and Javier Mascherano.

Scudamore believes Rule U18 should be made clearer, leaving clubs in no doubt that 'side contracts' regarding the future sale of players owned by third parties should be declared at the time of signing.

A Premier League spokesman said: "We are aware of the increasing phenomenon of more South American players being involved with clubs on loan agreements so we will be seeking to make this particular rule more explicit."
