Leeds..How many points will they get back??

[Aberdeen Shrimper]

Can Leeds Knock Southend out of a Play off Position?

With the arbitration hearing due to start today in to the deduction of there 15 points....and the result being publicly announced Friday night/Saturday morning

What do you think the outcome will be??

Personally, I have a bad feeling that they will get 5 points back but i hope i am completely wrong obviously.

I've gone with a vote from the heart ... so no points back for the filthy northern monkeys !!!

I think you're right. The other teams that went into administration have been deducted 10 points, I think they will level the field. I don't think they should. Everyone has played the season knowing about the 15 point deduction to give any or all of them back now would be unfair to the rest of the league.
If points were going to be given back it should have happened in September not when promotion is at stake.

i went for none hope they take more points of them for there cheek

It will be 5 points.
Enough to cement Leeds' playoff place but does little enough to offend the rest of L1 (fate determined it would be us affected the most).

At least with results last night we only get bumped to 6th & it would take a monumental SUFC end of season ****-up to blow those playoffs now!

Big club and because of that all points restored. If it was us we would lose another 10 on top for a frivilous appeal.

Would that be Walsall scoring 5 goals in the next 3 games and gaining 9 points with us not getting any points out of the next 3 games??

Loads of permutations regards the GD but i can not relax at all until 4:45 pm on Saturday when we take all 3 point from Carlisle.

I really do not see any grounds for giving Leeds even one point back. They signed a legally binding agreement to accept the 15 points reduction in exchange for receiving their golden share in the League. If they now choose to go back on one part of this agreement, then the FA should push to rescind the whole agreement. That means, no place in the League for Leeds.

Also, as I understand it, the fifteen points wasn't for going into administration, so there is no comparing this with other teams who have been docked 'only' 10 points. The points deduction, which Leeds accepted, is for a different offence.

I'm sure the final decision is going to be a political one, but thankfully, it won't be the FA making the decision.

I think as a few have said ...if they were going to get anything back it should of been at the start of the season, not now....They deserve nothing as quite simply they are cheating Northern Scum...:madman:

*And Breathe*

All the Leeds fans I know speak highly of you.

It does not matter what Leeds get back, we only need one point . Only Walsall and Brighton can actually knock us out of the playoff's !!

Bring on the point and quite frankly I dont care what happens to Leeds !!!

Personally I want them to get all their points back (although I don't believe they deserve to) because they will probably then finish second and us 6th. That would mean we play Carlisle in the play offs instead of Forest.

I'm not saying that Carlisle are a poorer team than Leeds, I just believe a trip to Brunton Park is less daunting than a trip to the City Ground.

Let's take a view on that after Saturday?

It's certainly a bl00dy lot further! Dont really fancy doing that one twice in a matter of weeks.

Regardless of the result on Saturday, a play off game at Carlisle will be less intimidating for the players than a trip to the City Ground.

 

[fatshrimp]

Think they'll get 5 back. Think they deserve none!

Also, I thought the decision was announced today.

Nope, not unless they heard both sides of the legal arguments in double quick time. I'd like to think we'll know either way by the weekend though.

As I have stated on another thread -

They won't get 5 back... they'll either get them all back or none back.

As I understand it the issue isn't the number of points deducted... it is whether it was legal to deduct any because there was an document Leeds had to sign "under duress" which may affect the actual legality of it.

If it's found that it isn't legal then they'll get all the points back - simple as that really.

By all accounts Millwall don't want the announcement made until after their game with dirty Leeds on Saturady. In case it incites Leeds fans. Millwall worried about other fans rioting, blimey, I've heard it all now.:stunned:

I hope they delay the hearing untill the end of the season hoping that Leeds finish 6th but 16 points behind 2nd.. Then I hope Leeds finish 7th 14 points behind second thus giving the Legue the worst of all worlds
