Can any of the Leeds fans amongst us shed any light on what the current state of play is with this administration issue. I notice Roberto Martinez has been crying fowl this morning saying if they get the points deduction overhauled then it could upset the apple cart for the teams in automatic promotion places. Also it would set a precedent for teams like Luton & Bournemouth who will already be docked points for the start of next season.

On the other side, Leeds are arguing it was unlawful for the Football League to impose the sanctions in the first place. Obviously this is a very contentious and emotive subject for the fans effected but what are the facts surrounding this ?
 
Anyone speaking against the return of all the points to Leeds either doesn't understand the situation or has something to gain from it.

I won't even bother going into the fact that Leeds' direct competitors got to vote on their punishment!

Thats what I couldn't understand. One report claimed 70% of the teams upheld the points deduction. So in essence it was a Kangaroo court
