Thinking about what happened to Leeds

They played by the rules, to the letter of the law I seem to remember i.e they officially went into administration on the last day of the season when it was clear they were doomed anyway. The League said "no, not on. You're trying to get around what this ruling is all about" and hit them with the points deduction the following season. Is there not some sort of precedent here? I'm no expert on what he rules do and don't actually say but Leeds found a way around it, the League rumbled it as a scam and stuffed them with the points deduction. Surely this, along with Luton and Rotherham cying foul will put huge pressure on the League?

Anyway, sod that. We need to win three of the last six games with maybe a draw in there for good meaure as well.
