I think you've all missed the point. It would almost certainly be Leeds United finishing fourth from bottom next season and coming back into League 1. Mind you, at least it'd be the Football League's fault again!
I think our almost-secure play-off slot is a face-saving formula for the FL: give us back enough points to keep us just below Carlisle. That means in the last game of the season, they have their fate in their own hands. The play-offs wouldn't change (Brighton might moan if they won their last two and we lost ours, I guess) if we lost that game, and the other three play-off teams are secure whatever happens. But if we beat Gillingham and Carlisle lose, their consolation is three extra games (potentially) including a Wembley final. That ought to keep the chairman happy. (Actually, all these bright ideas are academic. The FL has no say now, it's down to the chairman on the tribunal. And if he's even starting to consider the consequences for other teams in the league, he's not doing his job right.) -- Richard Young Freelance writer and editor _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
