Will Leeds be relegated?
- Thread starter Rogero
- Start date
If they were to get a deduction, they would almost certainly go down. I think it would be significantly more than 10 points as it would not be a 'first offence', and their current form would not see them making the points up.
That said, I'm sure that all involved will contrive to manage the situation, so that any fall into admin happens AFTER the end of the season. Its not in any of their interests for the club to drop a division / become less saleable.

Leeds are not a big club anymore... I've heard that sung to them many times!

I see the Italian CRIMINAL has appealed against the Fit & Proper ruling
On what grounds?
He was CONVICTED
Their last points deduction was 15 I think

He was CONVICTED, yes, but he has APPEALLED that Italian CONVICTION.
Under Italian LAW, you are NOT considered CONVICTED until after the APPEAL is heard, thus he is currently 'not convicted', and thus the FA CURRENTLY have no legal reason to disbar him.
That is his argument.

So what would happen if he wins his appeal against fit and proper test and takes over at Leeds, then loses his appeal in Italy
Does he have to sell up?If he has all this cash as he claims why didn't he pay the tax on his boat in the first place?

Not in Surrey
Per their chant, 15 points who gives a f** were super Leeds and were going up*.
*If memory serves me correct they then lost the playoff final to Doncaster.

Well, quite. I presume that is precisely the situation the FA are seeking to avoid.
Italian law OUT

The cut off deadline to go into administration and have 10 points deducted this season was last Thursday. Any club going into administration between now and the end of the season will have the points deduction imposed next season.
I think you'll find that 'rule' is subject to being over-ruled, if the FL consider it appropriate. The deduction is to be imposed where it would be most punitive.
The 'rule' you describe is to stop a team getting 17 points clear with two games to go, and taking a 'free hit'.
If the deuction to be imposed would drop Leeds into the bottom three, then it WOULD be applied this season, however late.

"20 points?/ No need to frown/ We're mighty Leeds & we're going down"

A points deduction that sees Leeds dropping into the relegation zone means an appeal from the club citing "force majeure". An appeal decision would have to be finalised before the fixture list can be compiled for 2014/15. The Football League needs to alter the rules to penalise clubs going into administration after a cut off date with a points deduction in the current season and a points deduction for the following season.

I don't take much joy in seeing them suffer. Had a great day out there last season - as some one has already posted - they are no longer a big club and their support is from true fans. No honour in sneering at other's misfortunes - remember be wary as things can quickly change in football
