leeds in administration official

[League1Champions]

Isn't that what sent you down to League One?

Im not just talking about recently, im talking about in the 70's aswell

Rules need changing, cannot believe any team can get away free from punishment (because that's what it is) for going into administraition.

I wonder whether the same people who bleat "get over it" to those of us who hate the idea of MK Dons will also choose to forget this absolute travesty that Leeds have got away with. Or will they be bringing this up in ten years, despite breaking no rules whatsoever (unlike the MK Dons)?

Really? So you believe, for example, that the Wrexham punishment was right?

You really were a big team from 1966-1975, I'll grant you that. Look whats left if you take those out.

Don't forget teh true ownership of Elland Road is not known. And the freeholder of the site would have final say over whether the club can be sold back to Bates. The fact that the administrators have apparently agreed to sell to the old shithead quite so quickly make me think that old **** is up to his usual tricks again.

 

[Marshy]

Maybe, but they can give you a 10 point penalty for next season for the disgraceful pitch invasion.

Good shout deduct them 10 for the pitch invasion so they dont get away with it.

UEFA Cup Semi Finals, CL Semi Finals.

Not to forget we were in contention for the Premiership title a few years ago.

Yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away.....

Dom Matteo scored a f***ing great goal in the San Siro

Don't blame the club for doing it now, it's not as if they were going to stay up anyway, and a badly written rule has allowed them to do it.

However, I agree with Trigger. The 10 point deduction was brought in to try and prevent clubs going into administration as and when they deem it fit and necessary to suit themselves. A simple one line amendment to the rule should suffice:

"Should an already relegated club enter administration or, if the process of entering administration relegates a club, the 10 point deduction will become effective at the start of the following season"

Bates better refund me my £2 that I put on Tuesday on Leeds staying up. Bar already lost it without a ball being kicked.

As for Leeds being deducted, we're only doing what any other team would do in this situation. I do believe, that any points deduction should be set irrespective of position as soon as rather than waiting for next season.

If I had the balls as a creditor I would go after Leeds in terms of trading whilst insolvent. Their debts are large but they carried buying players. Directors I believe, can be personally liable if they have been shown to be trading whilst insolvent.

Hope someone goes after them although I fear they won't. Maybe HMR&C can go after them as I'm sure they are one of the largest creditors.

 

[Starry]

Technically you didn't even bend them though, you stuck to them.. it's the fault of the rule for being flawed, not Leeds United for taking advantage of it.

Besides I won £40 on it.

some of us won a lot more than forty quid.

and quite agree that rules needs changing, the rules haven't been and we'd have been mugs not to do what we've done for the second time. a clean slate, no payments left to the rid$dale mob and the dickheads from the training ground gone.

Its difficult. You could say after a certain date like mid April or something but then it would be open to abuse to people who could manipulate it to their benefit for the current season.

 

[Starry]

Only a fool would give that twat their money to invest and people with money aren't generally fools

plenty of fools around with a lot of pennies burning holes in pockets.

 

[Starry]

The biggest crime is that it means that honest people who are owed money by the club won't get paid.

Why isn't there a law that stops Bates buying the club back?

He's just like the Majeeds on a bigger scale.

don't be so sure that the money owed to people out of leeds fc up until now was to honest people. it was owed to the fcuking cunts that were screwing us over in the very recent past. aside from the customs dudes, the honest people already lost out when the plc went into admin and was dissolved last october.

 

[League1Champions]

I wish there was a law against Bates buying the club back, he can take himself and his little Chelsea rent boy buddy Wise and piss off back to London.

GET THE CHELSEA OUT OF LEEDS!
GET THE CHELSEA OUT OF LEEDS!
GET THE CHELSEA OUT OF LEEDS!
GET THE CHELSEA OUT OF LEEDS!

Just read about Leeds going into administration on Ceefax, according to that the 10 point deduction could be applied next season as Leeds are effectively down already.

definitely this season. the league high hob nobs were at elland road yesterday and confirmed it in black and white with yvonne thompson. the club were ready to do this on monday but were waiting on confirmation and a signed document from the league confirming -10 was this season.

 

[Starry]

and if you were a local business owed money by the club, and had to accept 20p in the pound or whatever, then watch as the previous owners bought the club back for f*** all then carried on as before, would you still be happy?

that's me mate. and if the club is still going i will take my % of the pound on the chin. and believe me, it's not going to be anywhere near 20p that was dished out in the past.

Absolutely. People seem to think nobody gets seriously done over in all this - that it's just a clever way round the rules.

But all the people they owe money get shafted - especially the smaller businesses who can least afford it.

They've done it once before too I'm sure.. all the shareholders had to accept a ridiculous amount for ther shares after the Premiership relegation.

It's scandalous. They should be kicked out of the league and made to work their way back up.
