That is how to play the system, but this league is looking so odd, I can see that the last relegation place will not be settled before the last Sunday of the season and there could be say 4 teams with a chance of going down.

We've had this "disagreement" before. 3/4 of a mill was the widely reported transfer fee for Healy - where have you seen otherwise ? How much DID they pay Preston then ? I can't believe Preston would enter into any kind of credit arrangement with Leeds, given their track record.
Are you confident of that ? There's been somebody supposedly "waiting in the wings" to take over Leeds for months and months now, but nobody has yet come up with the goods. Who are these people who will suddenly chuck a few million quid Leeds's way to stave off administration ? If they have the means, why don't they pay the Inland Revenue right now ?

Surely it would be better for investors to come in after administration as the club would be in a better financial position.

I am not at liberty to disclose the fee paid for Healy since both clubs agreed to keep it undisclosed. Nor to disclose how I know, but it's fact that it was not £750k. The total figure after appearance/promotion clauses doesn't even rasie it to £750k.
I know for a fact that dependent on Stubbs negotiations and how they go, if the IR push for admin there is someone who is going to stump up the cash to stave it off. It's the same person who tried to buy Thorp Arch before Adler got his paws on it. Why don't they pay the IR now? Because contrary to what is reported in the press the are not pushing for the money at all because of the prospect of investment/takeover.

The fact that you are signing players in the first place is a little buit sick isn't it. I bet it was more than half a million which for a club in your positiino is still way too much for a player.
After reading through this thread I have decided that I actaully want your club to get into severe financial difficulties because it appears neither you, or your club, are learning from this situation.

I can't stand Leeds, I know I shouldn't want them to get 10 points deducted, but I do.
Football is emotional not rational. Stuff em.

As I posted earlier in this thread, I also want us to go into administration.
I don't think Leeds should have been spending on players if they have other bills that should be paid first that aren't being paid. And to be honest, while that concerns me it is not the greatest of my concerns over Leeds Utd right now.
I am not defending anything, just stating facts. The figure wasn't 750k and the fee came directly from a directors pocket not from the LUFC bank account so to speak (call it tax evasion).
As for relegation, like I said above if we do go the admin route (which is what I personally want) I am convinced they will drag it out until we are mathematically safe from relegation.

Hmm, I think the whole situation is just pissing me off because clubs like yourselves and Leicester and to an extent getting away with it as far as financial irregularities are concerned and we're so f***ed it's untrue and haven't got a bloody stadium yet.

I completely sympathise with that (I don't mean that to sound patronising). If I were Brighton fan or whoever and Leeds are/were doing the stuff they are and manage to delay admin card until it doesn't effect relegation etc, I'd be mightily peed off.

The Leeds board have gained an advantage over other clubs in the Championship by signing players and paying wages that the club simply cannot afford.
Looking at the table even with a 10 point deduction, if Leeds' current form is maintained they will avoid relegation.
The 10 point rule is a joke. As a taxpayer I think it's disgusting that they are allowed to default on their tax repayments in this way. They've broken all the rules, yet appear to be getting away with it.
They've been playing with an advantage all season. The FA need to do something about this because it appears to be one rule for the small clubs and another for the big clubs.

Thats the annoying thing. They ARE in severe financial difficulties. Thye just don't quite seem able to act like it.ChapmansThe Saviour said:
If Leeds go into administration they will deserve the 10 point deduction. How could they pay £600000 for David Healy so recently and then go into administration ? He must have saved them 10 points, it is all wrong. Shame for the fans but they are not going out of business just possible relegation. Sorry Leeds hope you lose the points but also hope you don't go out of business.
