Apparently in Leeds programme notes, Ken Bates and Leeds United are sueing the Football League, Even the fan who wrote the article is saying its about time Leeds gave up.

Why cant they just get over it?

They did the crime now do the time.

Could lead to another deduction or even expulsion apprantly. They are playing with fire.

Leeds United are worse than Scots people for whinging they really are!

 :fishing:

As thier song goes



Presumably ironic. Quite clearly Leeds united collectively have more chips than McCain. get over it FFS.

Methinks Ken Bates is desperate to make some money and wants to get them back up the league asap.

● LEEDS risk the threat of further points deductions and possible expulsion from the league after chairman Ken Bates announced that he will take the Football League to court.

Bates says he will appeal in the High Court against the 15-point deduction imposed on the club after going into administration, arguing that there has not been an independent hearing. But Bates would be breaking FIFA statutes by taking his dispute outside the recognised authorities and so would be liable to sanction from the FA.

hahaha Now I really would piss myself laughing if they did get booted out the league. (not going to happen though as its Leeds. If it was us however................)

They need to just let it lie now, its getting tedious.

Bates is going to look even more of a pillock than he already is.

not sure that is possible

Ken Bates looks like Captain Birdseye.

Fucking silly old cunt.

emphasis on the cunt.

It would be great to see them punished/belittled by the Football League, the FA and FIFA as well. Then they really wouldn't have a leg to stand on. Of course, it won't be their fault. They were in the Champions League you know.

what is it with Yorkshire teams unable to accept their punishment?  Must be something in t'water.

To be fair, Sheffield United probably have a point.

The problem is Nemo, they didn't have enough points last year, end of.

Bloody hell why don't we sue the Football league for 1990.  Let it go, move on.  I hope Sheff Utd get no where with this kind of action.

Because we finished bottom by a long way, not third from bottom only separated from fourth from bottom by goal difference, where most of the goals that made up that difference were scored or created by a player that was signed through an illegal deal.

Sheff U would have surived last season if Rob Hulse hadn't been injured for most of it. As a club they didn't really have the money to sign a decent replacement for him in the January window. If they'd known that clubs would be allowed to get away with signing players through third party deals with only a fine, then they might have brought someone in to score the goals to keep them up. But as far as they were concerned such deals were illegal.

They stuck to the rules, West Ham didn't, therefore it wasn't a level playing field. If it had been us thet got relegated that way you'd still be whining about it now.

"If it had been us thet got relegated that way you'd still be whining about it now."

No I wouldn't.  I don't see any point in dragging the past up, just take it on the chin an move on, life's too short to whine.

We didn't finish bottom in 1990. We got demoted by the football league.

:D

Taxi for Lumps

Exactly!

And they are still banging on about it, convenient it coincides with a rubbish run of results however I really cannot see the points re-instated.

The court should rule in favour of the league, call Bates a cunt and deduct another 15 off them not taking their punishment in a sporting manner!

Or just tell them to fuck off out of the league if they don't like it.

Somehow I don't see a High Court judge leaning down and solemnly intoning "Mr Bates, having considered the matter and given due weight to the representations presented to this court, it is our considered opinion that you are, in a judicially binding sense, a cunt. The court therefore orders you to do one, forthwith". But I'd pay good money to see it if he did

Further evidence the judicial system is outdated and out of touch.

Leeds' form since Christmas....DLLDLWWLLD
9 points from 10 games...I'd call that relegation form.

Swindon's form since Christmas....LDWDWDDDW
14 points from 9 games...Play-off form (or there abouts)

And Leeds think them coming to "grace" the County Ground will be our cup final?? For this reason alone they should not have the points reinstated  :D

Why don't they just give up.
Bloody scum
