Leeds fielded too many loan players ?

I can't believe people are going on about this - Leeds point deductions aren't going to help us stay in this division.

OK fair enough - but where do you draw the line - should be a level playing field IMHO

ORM I'm sorry but that is a pile of poo. Our survivial is in our hands but we also need the other teams to perform badly and not pick up points. As it is I think that even Leeds are unlikely to have made such a basic rickett so soon after a fine for a similar offence.

[Stats]

I doubt Leeds would of made this mistake twice in such a short space of time.

Leeds loan players

Players on loan from non-English clubs don't count as loans but as being on short term contracts. Therefore Ankergen and Thompson aren't included in the 5-loanee rule. Matt Heath signed on a permanent deal in January, so Leeds' five loan players on Friday were Michalik, Gray, Kishishev, Stack and Johnson.

So it's just the spirit of the ruling they have broken. That to me is key in this.

Spot on . Just spoke to the Football League player admin dep't and it is 5 players on the team sheet on domestic loans .

**** ...!

time to close this thread

That's not in the spirit of things Leeds! Short term contracts. Tsk indeed.

Guess we will have to stay up by winning some games now.... :eek:

I'd query whether the only spirit broken is that of the ruling: how can you have a team spirit when you have so many players playing on temporary contracts and no long term commitment to the club?

That is spot on, I've always maintained that we will avoid relegation as we are one of the few clubs at the business end of the table who have kept faith with the manager and our current crop of players........

If only there was a 'super' Billy Paynter to come off the bench... ahh a topic for another thread :rolleyes:

Interestingly (or not), we didn't actually keep faith in the same crop of players who got us promoted. The likes of Francis, Clarke, Paynter and JCR all had stuttering starts to their Southend careers. Had they been given more time to integrate, we may well have been able to carry over our momentum. In particular, Lewis Hunt should have started the season at right-back ahead of Francis, and had Bentley stayed he'd have deserved a starting place ahead of both the want-away Guttridge and the running-into-blind-alley JCR.

I'd even go as far as to say that Wayne Gray may well have started the season up front, although I'd expect his championship career to have been short.

Which is exactly why they got relegated from the Premiership in the first place.
