[LU] Arbitration isn't about keeping anybody happy

I think that's about the fl trying to appease people.

The arbitration will find in our favour that it was unfair. Fl have no choice but to give the points back..... Then the 4 up 3 down arguments start.

Theres loads of precedents for messing about with leagues like the conference and unibond recently however it won't be our problem as we will be up.

I would love to see us beat the gills, send them down and pip swansea for the title. They have been some of the biggest c##ts so far in the media. Been proclaiming themselves the best all week. 15 points or not would be great to be morally top

AFAIK the arbitration will consider the legality of the points deduction,
not the fairness of the points deduction. This is consistent with most legal
arguments in the UK, i.e. it's a question of lawfulness, rather than
fairness.

 

So the arbitration should not under any circumstances consider any
consideration of what might be fair to Leeds, the FL, or any other club.

 

Thus we shouldn't see any of the loony ideas like four up, three up without
the play-offs etc. etc. - as an exceptional "compromise." To do otherwise
would simply pile pelion upon ossa.

 

It's all or nowt, therefore.
