Law Changed After Leeds Bend The Rules

Last updated : 09 June 2007 By Footy Mad - Editor
Now the Football League have closed the stable door after the horse has bolted, and have closed the loophole.

From now on, any club going into administration after the fourth Thursday in March will have the 10-point deduction suspended until it is known whether the punishment will have "a material effect".

If the club is relegated, the sanction will then be imposed for the start of the following season. If the club has not been relegated, it will suffer the points deduction in the current season.
