Whelan revealed he has held talks with newly relegated Sheffield United on Monday - and told them "to get into the bones of the Premier League, and quickly".

"We need a new hearing because he (Tevez) has been registered illegally again. That should be another fine or points deduction," said Whelan.

The Blades were relegated from the top flight on Sunday following defeat at home by the Latics - with West Ham surviving following a 1-0 victory at Manchester United, the winning goal coming from, ironically, Tevez.

However, the south Yorkshire club are set to pursue the possibility of a legal challenge against the Premier League as they look at challenging West Ham's right to play Tevez and the ruling of the league's independent commission.

A record £5.5million fine was handed out for irregularities over the signings of Argentinians Tevez and Javier Mascherano when many thought they should have had a points deduction, which would have probably resulted in the Hammers and not Sheffield United being relegated.

With the saga set to drag on, Whelan is predicting the Blades have got a strong case for new charges.

"We cannot reverse the decision the commission came out with," added the Wigan chairman.

"It is impossible - they were appointed by the Premier League and all the clubs agreed these people would take charge of the case.

"But now we are saying he [Tevez] has been registered illegally for a second time. Who owns him? Where will this £30million be going we are told he is now going for?"
