Sorry for the stupidity but is the the 4/1 on Leeds getting 0 points deducted???

Bubs101

One getting 0 points of their earlier reduction rescinded.

Culchie

wtf are they waiting for the season to be over before making a decision?

If this is politics (i am sure it is) ...you can be sure that they will get enough points to guarantee a play off place, but not enough to get automatic promotion.

As a Leeds fan I agree. If points are given back it'll be enough to be seen as redressing an overly harsh punishment, but not so many as to change the promotion picture. 6-10 points would satisfy that, which would be my guess if anything at all is given back.

BTW, the arbitration now starts on Wednesday, a decision is expected before the Millwall game on the 19th.

There's no middle ground, they either give all the points back or they gave none........ by offering anything other than nothing back then theyre admitting they were wrong

0 is 4/1 on getting no points back.

Theres always middle ground in politics, it's called 'fudging it'

Bates seems to think he's got them by the bollocks, and they appear to be squirming.

Oh how I will laugh when that tory c*nt mawhinney is out of a job

As a Forest fan I will be watching the situation closely as Leeds could pass us out!!

Leeds-Forest P.O Final @ Wembley would be class

The FA Cup final a week later would be such an anti-climax in comparison

Cant see Forest getting to the play-off final, our form has been indifferent of late and we will struggle over 2 legs!

Culchie we are definitely in the minority around here

I'd actually rather play Forest than Donny or an in form Saaaaaaaarfend. This is based on you choking big time last year against Yeovil

That is all Forest fans fears

Death or Glory

Forests problem is up front, theyre crying out for 20 goal a season striker. That's the missing piece of the jigsaw. Calderwood should've acted in the transfer window or at least got someone in on loan (and I don't mean Brett Ormerod! )

Keano

He should have transferred himself - he nor the club owners are welcome at NFFC anymore

Death or Glory

Stuart Pearce would sort you out

Fairplay!!

dsmythy

I'll go with 1 to 5 points. There has been a few 10 point reductions happening of late so it wouldn't surprise me if the middle ground is taken and the 15 pointer is turned into a 10 pointer.

Death or Glory

Doubt there'll be a middle ground....... by offering ANY points back the football league would be admitting that they were wrong is it's either all or nothing.

Zaph

You should remember that it's not the Football League who'll be admitting anything. The chairman of the arbitration panel is an appeal court judge to whom both sides will make their case, and it's he who'll decide whether any points are to be given back or not. If they are it won't be an admission by the league that they were wrong, but more likely a ruling that the initial punishment was overly severe.

Surely the other clubs in the league would appeal the decision? Especially if it results in a side missing out on the play-offs or automatic promotion.

What would happen in that case, would your bet stand or would it pend on the appeal?

I'd say it would be settled on the decision. That is what the betting is on after all, not the appeal.

Keano

The old first past the post rule that them bookies hate

norm

Just seen yer man Derek Mc Govern in the Mirror tipping 6/4 about no points back. His record is not great so hopefully thats good news for us fans.
Hope this doesn't come back to haunt me:(

Leading sports lawyer Richard Cramer believes Leeds United have a "25-30% chance" of having their 15-point penalty overturned.
An arbitration panel will decide on the Football League's sanction to dock Leeds points in mid-April.

Cramer told BBC Radio Leeds: "A few weeks ago, I thought it was bleak.

"But having seen the legal documents, I think the prospects have improved. I think there's probably a 25-30% chance of winning."



So if the lawyer was a bookie he'd put Leeds getting the whole thing overturned as a 7/3 to 3/1 shot.
