Not quite how the agreement works Billy. LUFc committed to pay the £19m based on us getting promotion, irrespective of the players status (i.e. whether we kept him permanently or not), so in effect LUFC were committing to paying a premium of £19m on top of the loan fees agreed at the time. Obviously LUFC then sought to have the premium declared void as we gained promotion after the end of the official loan period. JKA was never a "Leeds player" i.e signed from another club.

Unless you have seen the actual contract and how it is worded it is impossible to tell. There have been numerous cases where CAS have overturned FIFA/UEFA - Man City being a good example.
