Leeds In Trouble (Again)

[RM-Taylor]

Leeds could face disciplinary action from the FA after admitting they broke Football League rules by fielding six loan players at Burnley in November.
Graham Stack, Matt Heath, Ugo Ehiogu, Tresor Kandol and Geoff Horsfield all played as Leeds lost 2-1, while Tony Warner was an unused substitute.

League rules say the maximum number of loanees in a match-day squad is five.

But a club statement read: "We will co-operate fully on this matter and explain the extenuating circumstances."

why even bother putting the 6 in? thats just plain stupidity on there behalf.

 

[Zesh Rehman]

a 3 point deduction AT LEAST.

i mean they KNEW they were breaking the rules, yet get fined nothing.

Altrincham must be splitting their sides.

 

[nobody's dupe]

. . . . .and loan player Geoff Horsfield played

Geoff Horsfield. He could do us a turn.

Deano. Call Kieron. Geoff was his discovery, and he plucked him out of non-league football. They have a good relationship. Would be a good signing.

My thoughts too trigger you sexy BEAST.

<startlowblow>Cos they dont have 6 of there own players worth fielding?</endlowblow>

 

[hitony]

Just throw them out the league, will save them going through the agony of getting relegated 3 more times on the trot

 

[desprateseagull]

they lost the game, so hardly any advantage in having the laoners in the team?

They still knew the rules and broke them. Surely the result should count for nothing.

Exactly.

They knew the rules - didn't inform the FA before the game.

Should be docked points.
