    Dead right – they guys that bring clubs to near meltdown should be banned from ever having any involvement in other clubs in the future. But if you are expecting the FA to show any balls over something like this it will be a long wait.

    What's the story with the penalty points anyway, if Leeds go down and into administration will they be docked points?

    If I remember correctly Richmonds son was the one _officially_ linked with the Leeds takeover (although no doubt Geoffrey was lurking in the background somewhere).

    I think there will be quite a few Bradford City supporters taking some degree of pleasure from watching him go Bankrupt, although no doubt his bankruptcy has left many other people in Yorkshire down money too.

    That was it:

    His son on the board represenging the "family" interest. Him in the background pulling the strings as an advisor. Strictly speaking there was nothing that could really be done about him being in an advisory role so long as he wasn't chairman or a board member.

    Uefa have introduced new rules in the interest of economic fairness within the sport. for example teams now in administration must suffer a 10 point deduction and a ban on transfers. many teams in the serie A are being refused a uefa liscence next year because of their massive debts. Roma and Lazio were exempt however as they have made some significant steps to consolidate part of their debts.
