Dear Leeds United

[F32]

Leeds United's fault - no-one elses.

Over 46 games you accumulated 91 points, the most in the division but you still didn't get promoted.

My view is that football should be kept on the pitch and not in th board room - they should fine clubs for financial issues and duct points for footballing issues but I'm not Brian Barwick.

It's not an argument, it's a debate you fool.

Actually, the thread title and content were taken from another forum that I visit and ask anyone here apart from Leah how much football knowledge I have.

Ask Jordie, piddle, Jamie, Cardiff, Grays etc.

It's called having a sense of humour - a possession that you clearly fail to have.

Firstly, read your own posts, "It's not an argument, it's a debate you fool."

Secondly, Swansea got 92 points so they didn't get most in the division, oh god of football.

I'm not even a leeds fan but it pisses me off to see tards trying to rip them when they don't really have an argument.

At the end of the day, Leeds didn't get promoted because of Ken Bates. He tried cheating and got caught. The 15 point deduction only gave them a lift. Leeds deserve to be where they are now like every other team in that division. Just because they have 40,000 fans and used to be good means **** all. Leeds ****** up. They had the money to buy players but didn't use it well and ended up selling all their players. Coming from a Cardiff fan, I can 100% say the best team in the league were Swansea. They were the only team with consistency. If Leeds were so good, they wouldn't be in League One in the first place.

They deserve to be in League two actually but that's a different story :8

the reason Leeds sold their players was because they owed money that they didn't have.. Financial difficulty would be the word.
you seem under the impression they did it for the sake of it :/

They were still one of the clubs in the league with the most money, despite debts etc. Thats what you're forgetting, they still had money to fork out on "championship" players like Kilkenny etc. Crappy excuses. Stick to habbo.

Campionship players won't make you survive in the premiership will they. ;l
I think you should take notice of your own suggestion and stick to habbo.
Its not excuses its the truth, If leeds weren't in debt they would never have been relegated,they wouldn't have needed to sell their players.
which proves the only reason Leeds were relegated was because of their financial problems, without them, they would still be in the premiership.

Peter Ridsdale gave David O'Leary money to buy players. He borrowed a loan of £60m and gave it to O'Leary to spend on players, gambling on qualifying for the Champions League. Leeds failed to make it to the Champions League and couldn't repay the loans so they sold Rio Ferdinand. O'Leary was sacked and replaced with Venables who wasn't very good. This resulted in Venables being sacked and more players being sold to cure the £103m debt that they had accumulated. The number of players that Leeds had amounted to more than £103m and with the parachute payments from the Premier League then should have been able to spend money to fight for promotion.

lmao, poor Leeds
