And what's making me even more angry is the fans who have tickets taking the same stupid high ground and starting the 'proper fans actually go to games' thing again. Bore off 

Could be worse.

You could be angry and slow and live in Brighton

That is a very unprofessional statement. Although we all understand the issues, once football sold it's soul to Sky there was no turning back. As someone else said, in the unlikely event of Leeds being promoted this year would they refuse promotion due to potentially damaging fixture changes in the PL? I don't think so.

Have read the statement what utter and total drivel Leeds United entered the competition and it's rules and broadcasting contracts.If they did not like those conditions they do not have to apply for entry to said league.

The rubbish about being on sky too much and it's effects on attendance and players holds no water when put to the test.

Their attendance when on or off TV are very much the same just like Derby's who have featured ten times on TV just the same has they have.

It is about time the FL applied  it's rules on fit and proper owners properly and banned this clown for good.

Can't argue with it really. Four home games each would be much fairer but Sky obviously get a lot more viewers when the likes of Leeds, Derby and Forest are included.

"The festive plans of supporters have also been entirely ruined by Sky's live TV selections."

OTT or what?

The Premiership and associated Sky money are the holy grail for all clubs and fans. The expectation being the ability to buy better players, improve teams and maintain said Premiership status. The leagues, clubs and fans all knew this from day one. It's no good now bleating about the downside of it. Sky run the show...deal with it...that ship has sailed. It's also hypocritical of Leeds to harp on about being a "big club"  with a European pedigree on one hand and go whinging when Sky treat them like one by showing their games more often.

A simple solution to this nonsense is to allow broadcasting of games at 3pm Saturday.

im sure this will happen one day, but a simple solution woudl be for clubs to agree to what they have signed up for.
