The Argentine scored the winner at Manchester United yesterday that kept West Ham up and consigned Sheffield United to relegation.
Wigan also survived but their chairman Dave Whelan said straight after his side's 2-1 win: "I saw Sheffield United chairman Kevin McCabe and told him to get stuck into West Ham quickly and that we are with them."
McCabe said today: "I think most of the Premier League clubs and other clubs support us over this injustice. Four years ago the Blades had just lost in the Championship play-off final and I felt gutted. This time I feel cheated.
"There is a consensus most clubs support an injustice so I hope we will get the vast majority of clubs in the Premier League supporting our case."
But Magnusson is confident his club's Premiership status would survive any threatened legal action over the League's decision to fine the club £5.5million rather than deduct points for fielding Tevez and Javier Mascherano, even though the original deal broke league rules.
Magnusson said: "The matter is in the hands of the Premier League and I am content to leave it so. The Premier League are clear they are satisfied with things and as far as I am concerned, that is that.
"I always wanted our destiny to be decided out on the pitch and it has been. Alan Curbishley has done a magnificent job and now we must sit down at talk about the future."
Captain Nigel Reo-Coker said: "We decided to keep our mouths closed and let our feet do the talking."
