Go into administration now, so the 10 points come off this season and not next....

    Can't blame Leeds for taking advantage of this - the League needs to change the rules so that if this happens near the end of a season and the points deduction doesn't affect the club's status then the points deduction applies for the following season.

    And let's face it if it were our club, we would want our "board" to do the same-

    Perish the thought that Ken Bates would ever be our chairman though. :-((((

    Completely different company.

    This is something I have to deal with on a daily basis and it annoys the hell out of me, the law surrounding Limited companies is a complete joke.

    Revenge is a dish best eaten cold. Leeds demand for payment for Carl Harris push us into receivership in '84.

    In '84 as we dodged a lot of the old debts but the rules were different then and other clubs did it. Don't think we ever paid for the pies at Blackburn : - )

    Bates of course is very canny. Not only has he avoided the 10 point deduction next season, but he has wiped out all the debts at a stroke and bought the club back for bugger all!
