Was what he said so bad? Isn't it a well known fact Bates is indeed scum?

He is. It's just not BBC policy to allow Phil to say that.

BTW, if Harty wants a slating, stop asking such a dumb question based a theoretical hypothesis - the one about the 'rumour' of Leeds getting some points back.

He should be asking what KIND of scum Ken Bates is.

What is this old guy on about?

Leeds United were punished because they lived beyond their means and it all went pear-shaped. Where's the problem?

What Tom forgets is if the accountants had not cheated then they would not have the standard of players they have today? They got the money for them to sign these sportsmen.

What exactly is this bloke's point?

Seems to be the stunning revelation that we only have Racon on loan, and are unlikely to sign him.
 




Where is this "rumour" that Leeds will have FIVE points restored?

Leeds had 10 points deducted last season, because they went into administration. That football club subsequently went out of business.

This season, a new football club (unconnected with any other and with no history) came into being and applied to the Football League to play in League One.

The FL agreed, subject to the new football club accepting a 15 point deduction. The new football club AGREED to this.

The new football club is saying that this arrangement wasn't in line with FL rules.

If they are right, then the FL shouldn't have allowed them into the league. If they are wrong, then the AGREEMENT to have FIFTEEN points deducted should stand.

I don't see ANY basis for a ten point deduction being the final result.
