    it will be short lived, now Ken Bates has assumed proper control, that club will go from strength to strength, yes, maybe it will take a couple or so seasons, but make no mistake, the comeback will start in earnest from next season, and so it should, the majority of Leeds supporters, of which there are lots, are decent folk, I would much rather see a jumped up smaller club like Chelsea get their comeuppence, now they are w@nkers.

    Why? What's happened to Leeds? Why aren't people on this website keeping us informed? Every 30 seconds.

    Thing that cracks me up is the outrage that Leeds have gone into administration yet effectively avoided the 10-point penalty.
    Kind of like we did.

    Oh, that and the assumption that now they're starting with a clean slate Leeds will come back immediately as worldbeaters
    Kind of like we didn't. Or pretty much any other club that went into administration didn't.

    If it were so easy that you just take the penalty this season, wipe out your debts and yet keep all your assets, every club not in the playoffs but 10 points clear of relegation would be calling in the administrators by full time tomorrow.

    Even though what they've done stinks, it's tough times ahead for the forseeable for Leeds methinks.

    there are strict conditions about exiting administration-and they have to exit within 18 months-they won't be able to attract players of any ability -possibly just go with the youngsters they have-they will not get promoted nexy year-you read it here first!

    That worked, didn't it Gaz?

    Always a shame to see a nice bit of sarcasm go unrewarded.

    Teams didn't get points deduction when we went into admin

    They brought the rule in after - anyway don't agree with the rule anyway. Punishes the fans not the board.</p>

    Isn't that the reasonWest Hamwere fined? </p>

    RE: Here you go mate.

    Having trouble getting youtube to play something without stopping!

    I'm annoyed anyway - got an email to inform me that Breed 77 had a new album due out so went to their website to check for a tour and they toured last month!

    Bloodstock looks a good line up this year. Nevermore, Lacuna Coil, Epica, Firewind, Beyond All Reason, Testament, Dream Evil - oh yes.

    Some good ones there

    Just managed to get that Mercenary to play (just had to pay 'em a bit!) - good stuff.

    Assembly Rooms, Derby, July.

    Mercenary are best band in world at the moment. Cringed when they introduced themselves as support from Nevermore. Every metal cliche in the book, but then they started playing and I was hooked. Four part harmonies, live, while still sounding incredibly heavy. Deserve to be huge.
