Leeds Consider Compensation Bid

Last updated : 18 March 2009 By Kevin Markey
The club could mount a bid to recoup contract-related payments lost when the Blades were relegated from the Premier League in May 2007.

Leeds stood to receive a substantial six-figure sum had Sheffield United remained in the Premier League due to clauses in the contracts of ex-Elland Road men Rob Hulse, Matthew Kilgallon and Ian Bennett.

Ken Bates said: "When they got relegated on the last day of the season we lost a substantial sum. If they are being compensated for their loss then we believe we should be compensated for our loss."
