I agree, but that does of course mean that Leeds should have started in League Two.... which brings me back round to my original point that Leeds don't really have anything to complain about. Whether the current rules are the best way of dealing with the debt that most clubs have is another thing entirely though.... When it comes to the FA (and to a lesser extant the Football League) a phrase involving piss up and brewery comes to mind.

The last figures I saw, probably from a couple of seasons ago and plucked from my ailing memory, were that eight of the 92 league clubs were in the black. Being trust run has had it's ups and downs for County, but no one can now buy the club and destroy it and we are running a fiscally responsible ship. Maybe we are a special case (we County fans would obviously think so!), but the 6 or 7 other clubs currently or previously run by a supporters trust have mostly done fairly well also.
