    Club of cheats formed out of a club closed down for cheating.

    Tried to get Charlton closed down in 1982

    what's the story behind this? (sorry for my lack of knowledge in this piece of Charlton history)
    Winding up order for £50k owed to them for Carl Harris at a guess wasn’t it 1984
    cheers for that.

    from Wikipedia:
    Out of contract, he finally left Elland Road in 1982 in a £100,000 move to Charlton Athletic.
    Paying transfer fees for players that don’t have a contract seems nuts.

    Could a club just refuse to give you a new contract and hold your registration in perpetuity, effectively ending your career?

    They simply foresaw St Andrews 1987. Ha, fuck off Leeds.

    IIRC the club could hang on to a player if a new contract offer was no worse than the one expiring.

    In Europe even that safety net didn't apply, hence the Bosnian ruling.

    Didn't Leaburn stay with us for half a season when out of contract?

    Ah right, you couldn’t just hold his registration and not pay him then.

    Cheers, still seems like a crazy system and the Bosman ruling righted a wrong.

    As said winding up order in early 80s
  • Just seen this stat on twitter, if its true that is fantastic

    Leeds United have played 4,508 games in their history.

    They've named an academy player in 4,504 of them - the last time they failed to do so was a Johnstone's Paint Trophy fixture in 2009.

    👏

    Man Utd have named an academy player in their squad for every game since 1938.
