Late Leeds decision set to wreak havoc

Sir Philip Otton last night indicated that Leeds United and the Football League would have to wait up to four weeks for his arbitration verdict, a move which threatens to cast the League One season's final stages into chaos.
The Elland Road club are challenging a 15-point penalty imposed by the league for their failure to comply with insolvency rules and Otton, an experienced football arbitrator, is chairing a three-man panel on the issue.
BBC Radio Leeds last night reported that the hearing will extend to a fourth day on Monday for all submissions to be heard; Otton will deliver his judgment "three or four weeks" later. A May 12 return would wreak havoc for the teams in the top six because the regular season ends on May 4, with the Wembley final three weeks later.
