Chairman vote overwhelmingly.... That speaks volumes. maybe if ken hadnt have wrote that letter treating them all like pillocks they may have had more luck....
What a shame. Enjoy League Two the season after next. Accrington Stanley versus the 'Champions of Europe.' Lovin' it.
in an emlyn huges squeeky style voice "yeeeeeeessss get feckine in theer" you needed to have watched a video years ago called 101 great goals to maybe understand what I mean here
Why 15 points though? I'm no Leeds supporter, but I do believe in fairness. Why is it 15 points and not 10? It seems very arbitrary.
RE: Why 15 points though? They had a 10 point deduction last season, maybe for a 2nd offence it then increases to 15
is should have been 25... getting 10 points deducted when they were already relegated was disgusting so 15 this time is Justice. Hope they fold personally, Leeds supporters should set up Leeds City FC and start in the pub leagues.
Fairness!!!!!!! They came out of admin without a CVA, blatantly flaunting the FA rules. they entered administration in the first place last year delibarately so the ten point penalty did matter. the auditor ignored every other bid but Ken Bates and the have short changed the inland revenue, (our money if you look at it like that), to the tune of at least 2 million. Fairness would mean bates never seeing the light of day again and the once proud club that has been dragged through the mud relegated to the northern counties.
RE: is should have been 25... Well I don't think you are a true fan of football in that case. I'd like to see em survive financially and live in the 4th division for a good few years!
Peter Lorimar on Sky saying he expected it because no one has ever done leeds any favours, reporter saying to barry fry even though 41 clubs are or have been in administration is it not sad for leeds seeing where they were only a few years ago . Unbelievable. Sky presenter saying "Only two days from the start of the new Premier league season" , sorry but do we not all start on Saturday.
RE: is should have been 25... Did you see that Farsley Celtic were considering changing their name to Leeds Celtic, perhaps they'll take over as the number 1 club in Leeds soon!
RE: in an emlyn huges squeeky style voice My mate had that video-we used to watch it all the time and keep rewinding the Emlyn Hughes bit.You could here his scream as the free kick went in above the crowd!!
