What a lot of Leeds fans don`t understand (or don`t want to) is why they were docked 10 points at the end of the `06 season and then another 15 at the start of this one.
The 10 points is the standard punishment according to the rules for any club that goes into receivership. But Bates thought he was clever by selling the club to an overseas consortium (that he has his fingers dipped in anyway!) and buying it back cheap and renaming the club. So now called Leeds 2007 or something similar, they wanted to rejoin the league but here`s what they got docked another 15 points for- they hadn`t entered into a CVA and arranged to pay off their debts and that was also against the rules.
You may already know all this but it doesn`t seem to me that any Leeds fans on here do.
Now i don`t think that it would have been fair to the rest of the teams in that league to have to play side by side with a club who had not done things the way all the other 41 clubs who have gone into receivership have done. It`s tough but the fans should be blaming bent Bates and not the rest of League 1 or the FA, in my opinion.
There were other parties who were interested in buying the club but Bates wouldn`t let them look at the clubs financial records so any backers would never put up the money under those circumstances would they?
It is all very very fishy.
