    Seems Ken Bates won't be able to keep pumping his hard earned into your club for much longer <yikes>
    You'll be hit with multi-million pound fines in a couple of seasons - will also deter anyone wishing to buy Leeds as they will have to haemmorage money.
    Hope that hotel gets built sharpish <laugh>

    I expect our programs to rise to £5.00 a pop to give Warnock a 'war chest' now <laugh>

    You and the other 12 Millwall fans are going to have to pay a lot more over the next few season to pay the wages :)

    If West Ham and Birmingham dont go up this year, January will be a huge clearout for them paying 50k a week wages isnt sustainable if they arent gonna get in the prem

    Just another way of protecting the elite in the Premiership in my opinion.

    No one can afford to build a team capable of staying in the Premiership, whist the few yo-yo clubs will keep throwing the Championship a few crumbs.

    Unless you are a sleeping giant with a 40,000 seater stadium and fans to balance the books, then you will be stuck in the second tier for years <whistle>

    Crisp boys will definitely be against this as they try to buy promotion as they made such a good job of it this season <whistle>

    The chuckle brothers will definitely be against this as well - no pressure then fat sam! <laugh>

    How do you know that Carra.can understand donny,as without their chairman's millions they are screwed.Millwall would have gone down if this rule had been in this season as their directors put several million in to keep them up.great for Leeds though.

    Alright Steve m8,great news for Leeds as i doubt any championship club generates more income.Don't think it will be good for wall though,as your chairman puts in money.Cardiff,whu,festa,hull,brum will all have to make big changes though.

    Championship revenue makes a massive difference compared to League 1 <doh> and it was vital we got back up ASAP, JB has put in over £20m now and we have improved a hell of a lot with turn over but the key was getting back to the Championship <ok>

    Your right as cardiff, whu, festa, hull & brum all have massive debts to deal with.

    We are not out of trouble, we have mortgaged the season tickets for two years to support Caddicks as they refurbish the East Stand.
    Leeds make more money than most, we pay less wages than most & we sell players for decent profits. But our bucket has a hole in it somewhere as we don't have any cash in it.

    This will effect us as we seem to hide any player sales income for some reason from the books?

    The hole in 'our bucket' has a tube connected to it that leads direct to Bates' wallet <ok>

    If that's the case whoever it is needs to get a tighter rein on him because in the last few months he's gone out of control. Unfortunately it's our club and supporters that are suffering.
