BBC SPORT | Football | My Club | Leeds United | Leeds points appeal unsuccessful

I follow Leeds and I have to say I'm pleased and think that it is better for Leeds in the long term.

If they'd got the points, and with it automatic promotion, there would be so much resentment.

This was a no win situation all round. Had Leeds won then other clubs would have sought legal redress and it would have dragged on into next season with a number of teams not knowing which league they were planning to play in.

The point to take onboard here is that the process takes too long. The points were deducted, I think, at the start of the season and this hearing only takes place when the change would have serious implications. If The whole thing could have been wrapped up within a couple of months it would have been better.
