Looks like it was just too much,the 15 point burden. I knew we had no chance on the appeal. It would have caused uproar and all the other clubs would sue. Congratulations to Forest on your promotion. For Leeds,it's another season of torment till we get out of this div! Hi nffc. Looks like it was just too much,the 15 point burden. I knew we had no chance on the appeal.

Congratulations to Forest on your promotion. For Leeds,it’s another season of torment till we get out of this div!

There's a fair few sides in there who've had their own financial troubles recently (and indeed, continue to do so).

Thanks! I'll take your word for it it is accurate. thanks mate. I notice the premier league all went for themselves eh? It was the very lower clubs who could have gained who humbled them. The F***s!

You'd think Cardiff might have backed them too given Ridsdale's association with them now. Reliably informed the below teams supported Leeds:

Bradford City
Burnley
Colchester United

A curse and a pox on every frigging chairman that betrayed us. If their crappy club is in the dock they can expect the same"generosity". Why not impose a fine? Taking points hurts the fans,who are the club. Mattyboy,i would not wish it on your club. It's a disgrace! No club has ever started on such a minus. It is gonna be tough...

Just think, we weren't far off the same problems during the Scholar/Platt era. Couldn’t the league just have made Sherwood the Bear shag Bates and Risdale from behind as a punishment?

Ok he won a title with them,but the trophy surely should be at forest. I know which one he'd have chosen...Leeds!! Ha ha. Just kidding. Clough was forest through and through. It's a tragedy he never got the England job. They'd rather employ the deadlegs we have seen last 30 years... Fuck Derby! Ok he won a title with them,but the trophy surely should be at forest.

Before Grant Holt went off he looked like a hungover sunday league player. He was easily out muscled in every challenge. Bastians also looked poor. His passing and touch were awful. He showed a lot of promise when Megson played him for a couple of games but going off on loan to Northwich Victoria was a waste of time; he'll learn the same playing in League One. Moloney looked good, often taking on 3 players and getting through. If he had better support on the right he would have made even more of an impact. McGugan was also impressive at times. I agree with nffc about the idea behind this trophy, at this point with Forest where they are it's pretty pointless. I feel sorry for Dobie; at least there is the effort he puts in.
