Sorry but you are wrong. That is where this is different to the PLC, Adulant Force, and Romans Heavies situations. The Limited Company that was Leeds United and which held the golden share was the 1920 company. (Yes 1920, not 1919). This 1920 company has survived intact over the recent upheavals because it was its parent companies which were liquidated but the 1920 company was passed on completely intact. It's ownership (i.e. shareholders) changed but the company was the same. This time is different. This time the 1920 company itself has gone. That is why the Football Leagues agreement to the transfer of the "golden share" is critical. If the golden share is what makes something a football club, then right now there isn't a LU football club as I understand it. Please correct me if I am wrong in this. _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
