I agree with all this. I have no doubt there is an element of Bates proving a point, and unless we get all 15 back then it matters little (hopefully) to our play-off position.
My main issue is, and always has been, with the FL tossers in their ivory towers thinking they can dish out punishments which affect you and I, the ordinary Leeds supporter who has had enough shit to deal with over the last 5 years without them sticking the boot in. Whatever happened during the admin process, its all financial/business related. They could and should have imposed some financial/business sanctions IMO, or had the balls and relegated us. As you said, their unwillingness for this to go to the high court speaks volumes, but we will see what happens next week. I couldnt actually give a toss about the 15 points (as long as we dont need some of them to get into the playoffs at the end of the season!).
