Its in our hands next season. Lets make sure we send the cheating Yorkshire "We are a Big Club" back up the M1 with nothing next season.
Their antics are a disgrace.

Lets wait and see what the Football League have to say. The 91 other Chairmen don't seem too impressed. There is already talk of High Court action to stop Bates taking control from....himself.

Agree entirley, but that won't stop me laughing that the biggest victory of Leed's season is to give themselves a head start against their mighty League 1 opposition next season and to rip off their creditors (again).
Congratulations.

Have to agree. Dont like Leeds, but you can't blame them for taking advantage of a flawed system.

Reducing debt is good, Bates still in control is not.

What is even more annoying is that this article on the BBC site today mentions that there were 7 potential investors, wanting to speak to the administrators, but were not given the chance as it was sold straight to Ken Bates' newly formed company. Further proof that Bates never wanted any new investment/owners of the club. This was purely a 'Make Bates Richer' plan. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/l/leeds_united/6627671.stm

Its got to be 10 points from the season the administration was undertaken and another 10 points the following year, especially in a case like this.

I wouldn't go that far. Probably best to make a deadline of about the 15th of March or the 10 point deduction goes to next season.

Everyone only hates the way this has turned out because it is Leeds, if it was Cheltenham no one would give a toss that they had bent the rules, everyone everywhere hates Leeds and we love it 
I disagree. I don't much like Leeds, but that's really not the issue. I care far less about the ten points than the fact that Bates has bought the club from himself, and wiped out debts. Money that people were rightly owed (in some cases anyway).
Its immoral and I can't for the life of me understand how it is legal.

No real Leeds fans who care a jot for their club are not happy with the situation.
If you bothered to read the posts on here, you'd see that many including myself want a Football club like Leeds to be run properly.

Why? I would be bloody estatic if Brighton had done the same in their position. They haven't broken the rules and they have done what is right for their club. I f***ing hate Leeds but they have done what any other club would have done.

Real Leeds fans? How do you define real Leeds fans?
I am Leeds born and bread and have attended 43 out of 45 games so far this season, i am happy that we will be debt free the only thing im unhappy about is Ken Bates and Dennis Wise running our club.
When you say "Real Leeds" you mean a Leeds fan who you dont think is a tosser
Get the Chelsea out of Leeds!

Fair enough. Seemed to be in response of the 10 point deduction.

Real Leeds you mean by someone who you dont think is a tosser

The point I'm making is you seem to be happy that everyone is "laughing" at your club.
Personally I'd be more worried about my club situation rather than getting off on everyone elses amusement.

I think you overstate the "everyone hates Leeds" thing. At the moment you are the same size as any other club in the third division that doesn't own its ground.
The quicker people get their head round that idea, the quicker you'll be back in the Premiership.
