That is a pretty good summary if not actual cut and paste :-) I got confused by this bit (actual c & p) "They should have been given the fine and told that was that, but they probably thought 'We're Leeds, we'll get away with it'. I am sure if we had been "given the fine" we would have accepted it !! The Telegraph is even more ridiculous "Leeds' attempt to win back 15 points has left League One mired in obfuscation. Leeds were deducted points for entering administration, as per the rules. " I hope that the arbitration panel explain, when they give their decision (hopefully giving us the points back) in simple terms what has gone on so all this misinformed dickheads can grasp it I am sick of arguing about it all with know-nothings from other clubs - one of Arsenal fans on train back from Millwall was asking if it was right we had had 25 points docked cos he thought it was 15 but his mate said 25 ! By time we had explained about tax man etc he agreed we had been unfairly treated - OK I had given him a beer so maybe he was biased but other lads I have explained it all too, once they have grasped it, do appear to be on our side (at least one has said the points deduction should stand because we are "Yorskhire bastards" which is a fair enough reason but other than that was unfair !

Swansea vice-captain Alan Twate today hit out at a near neighbour after his club were told they will not lift the League One trophy this weekend. The Football League informed Swansea there will be no presentation after their final home game of the season against Leyton Orient on Saturday because of the ongoing shambolic situation created by them regarding Leeds United. It has left the Swans wondering whether they have won the championship, despite the fact that they prematurely celebrated doing so last weekend. Twate lays the blame for such a ludicrous position on a man who lives three doors down from him. "As far as we're concerned, we're in the Champions League," he ranted. "We haven't broken any rules. We haven't gone into administration and tried to get the points taken away when we knew it wouldn't matter. But Leeds are trying to get the points back after they were shafted by the FL and we can't do anything about that. "It's a surprise to me that you should ask me anything about this, and it's ridiculous that it's still going on when it should have been put to someone who understands what's going on. "They should have been given the fine and told that was that, but they probably thought 'Hang on, we're being shafted by the FL here, do we let them get away with it?'. They're the same big club they were a few years ago. They are a big club, but they need to realise they are in League One and all the other parasite club owners need the gatemoney they generate. "It's embarrassing that I've been allowed to talk about something that's too difficult for me to grasp the basics of. If I was a Leeds fan I'd understand a little bit more about it. _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
