    I'm hoping, just hoping, that the 'negotiations' with the EFL were about suspending or delaying the '9 points' if we took the 12 for administration. Remember Leeds were provisionally thrown out of the football league and argued their way out of that, for worse misdemeanours

    Very true that Andy. However, can it be said that Leeds had gone out their way to antagonise the EFL and bluff them for years?
    It's obvious that the EFL want vengence, so would you expect them to be reasonable?

    I'm not suggesting reasonable, I'm more thinking 'legally enforceable'. I doubt theres much goodwill about. In fact the only goodwill appears to be between fans, I've had a number of messages of support, even from a Leeds fan who's message was (minus swear words) 'I hate Derby but wouldn't want them to not be around to hate...'

    I'd be the same Andy.
    No football club should go to the wall.
    Piss taking is one thing, but being that bitter?

    Who was the Forest player who paid to watch Notts County when they were in trouble? OK it was only a few quid but it was a nice gesture of solidarity
