STATEMENT

[B-m]

Leeds United have today written to the Football Association requesting the matter of the 15-point deduction be referred to the High Court rather than FA arbitration.

The club have taken the decision to pursue this matter further, following the Football Association's promise of a 'root and branch' examination of the recent England failure.

In September, the club invited the Football Association to set up an independent commission to investigate the legality of the 15-point sanction imposed by the Football League.

The FA rejected that request, so the following month we wrote to the chairman - Geoff Thompson - drawing his attention to what we perceived as inconsistencies in the FA's decision and asked them to look at it again.

The reply to the second request was rejected by the FA's Director of Corporate Affairs. This is the same person who rejected the original request. In effect, the same individual confirmed his own earlier decision. There was no independent review.

Given the approach of the FA to date, the club have severe reservations regarding its impartiality.

Det er kanskje gammelt nytt, men straffen på minus 15 poeng for økonomisk rot, er uansett altfor høy. Minus ti poeng ville vært forståelig i forhold til tidligere praksis.

Joda, men det er jo noe eget ved å få presentert saken på nytt,  under en ny overskrift. OEF blir mye friskere på den måten.

Sant nok    NOT

Kankje vi heller skulle diskutere hvorfor Bjønna så elegant droppet den gamle tråden?  Han skal visstnok på et julebord snart. Kán ha med det å gjøre...
