Leeds. FIVE points?

[clapham_gull]

It's not the same club. They did the same as Leicester and formed a new club. Leeds UtdAFC07.

I'm not sure that's an issue - havent they done the same at Luton.

 

[Starry]

A club with the history of Leeds should accept the 15 point penalty with grace and they would if any other person was in charge of the club..

no they wouldn't.

 

[vulture]

no they wouldn't.

Being a leeds fan whats your view on this whole issue as you will know more than most of us?
What do you think are the chances of getting any points back?

The FL should just turn round and say "Our house our rules" or something to that effect IMHO

They did.

 

[Ned]

They did.

In that case I hope if it goes before a judge he not only rejects the appeal but (as can happen with unsuccessfully appealed legal sentences) increases the deduction.

On what basis.

 

[Ned]

On what basis.

1 Because they're trying to get away with not accepting the punishment for the crime.
2 Because I thought at the time that 15 points was lenient.

You in court then ?

 

[Ned]

You in court then ?

If I was the judge I'd issue a winding up order and shut the fat beardy one in solitary.

I've found the article where the a leading sports lawyer says Leeds have got 25% chance of appealing the 15 points.

wouldn't it be funny if they were given back the 5 points, and still missed the playoffs? lets hope

25% - 30% actually, you don't like Leeds very much do you

fair enough

 

[Simster]

no they wouldn't.

You're adamant that Leeds have been treated unfairly. So what would be a fair punishment in your opinion?

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

The FL imposed a 15 point penalty and Leeds agreed to this so that they would be able to play in League 1 for the 07-08 season. The FL have been lenient as in my opinion Leeds should have dropped down to League 2. If they get any points back then the FL should revoke the "golden share" and expel them at the end of the season. Remember, when we were given a points deduction, the following season we had to lodge a £500k bond as a guarantee we would complete the fixtures and not breach ANY rules.

 

[Brighton till i die]

how the f*** can the league alter points this far into a season screwing up others' plans - surely the points situation will have to come into effect next season

how is it "fair" on all the other "decent" clubs in the league?

 

[Nemesis]

On what basis.

They're Dirty Leeds. No other basis needed.
