The Football Association is committed to taking whatever action is necessary to maintain and improve the quality of all aspects of the game of football as it is played at all levels in the UK. To this end, a Special Ad Hoc Committee has been set up, which will meet whenever needed to deal with any perceived faults or weaknesses in the way football is organised. In an effort to cut through red tape and promote radical reform, the committee will be empowered to decree any changes to any aspect of football, with immediate effect.
The first meeting of the Special Ad Hoc Committee was called yesterday, to deal with what has clearly become a major problem; ie the status of Leeds United Football Club. Background: Recent events have clearly shown that Leeds United are in the wrong league. The performances of the team against top level opponents have demonstrated that their rightful place is in the Premier League. This discrepancy has been exaggerated by the fact that there are so many teams who actually are in the Premier League who clearly could not match the level of performance demonstrated by Leeds United in these games. Furthermore, the recent disturbing events at Brunton Park showed that clubs in League One are simply not set up organisationally to handle the size of crowd that they get when Leeds United visit. Committee decision (to take effect immediately): Leeds United will swap places with the team in the Premier League who score the lowest on a coefficient ranking the size of their home crowd and the quality (objectively assessed by the FA Technical Director) of their play so far this season. That club has been deemed to be Hull City, although there was enough bloody competition, I can tell you. _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
