  1. It hasn't been reported exactly how much money the Gulf states consortium could cough up, but if Leeds have to go into administration, they are likely to do so before the end of the season if about to be relegated.

    If the receivers are called in after the end of the season, and they are classified as a Nationwide club, they could start next season on minus 10 points.

    If they avoid relegation, the situation would be different, as should top flight clubs go bust, the Premiership are to consider each case individually rather than apply an automatic points deduction.

    This is thought partly due to fear over the effects of a successful EC challenge to the Sky T.V. contracts, which financially could tip several Premiership clubs over the edge.

    Indeed, I read that one figure this Arab consortium will spend is £20m, under 1/2 Leeds' debt. This would be nice for Leeds, but unless the Arab gentlemen can pull some financial wheeze, Leeds will still be up the Gary Glitter. Their only hope is that the win against Charlton instills a grim determination to march up the table, and add a few more drops of petrol into the tank.

    Just read what I've typed, and I can imagine Andrew Marr saying that :).

  2. If things don't pick up by Christmas time, Mr. Souness should be invited to take up punditry on Sky TV full-time. I know Souness is a deity for some for his past achievements, but something has been gone wrong, with a team that he's mainly signed, and he should take responsibility. I like Souness, and he has done a lot for the club, but we cannot keep our fingers crossed and hope Souness will 'work his magic' again.

    At least the club's finances are OK :).

  3. For the record, I'm not as pessimistic as I was the past few days. I needed to 'shout' "WE'RE DOOMED MR. MANWARING !. DOOMED !" to get it out of my system. I'm still a bit concerned that things don't turn around soonish, we're in the brown stuff though.
