Leeds Fail to Overturn Points Deduction
An independent tribunal has upheld the 15-point penalty imposed on Leeds by the Football League at the start of the season.
A three-day hearing reached its conclusion behind closed doors today in London where Leeds failed to convince a three-man panel that the league acted unfairly when docking the points as punishment for breaking competition rules on insolvency.
The hearing's decision to rule in the League's favor sees Leeds stay in sixth place in Coca-Cola League One - and they must now hope to secure promotion via a play-off place.
