Does anyone understand whether he is actually banned at present or is the ban suspended while he appeals the 'fit and proper person' judgement? - seems this action is just adding weight to the league's view... suspended while he appeals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angieram Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Or Leeds sell extra tickets all morning to fans who really want to see the game then back down about 3 pm with a load more ticket revenue and the Sky fee intact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regulation 75 75.3 does indeed say they "shall inform the clubs of the relevant terms of all such contracts". I stand corrected if they haven't informed Leeds. What does Regulation 81 say by the way as 75.3 speaks of "fixed penalties" if the club are in breach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McRamFan Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Good its about time there was some push back against the sky machine. There are more financial issues in football today and most of it is the result of selling the soul of it to sky. The national side may as well not exist as we can barely scrape a squad together from the premiership, and then the managers are loathed to let them play as they are looking to finish a high up as possible.

Srg Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 So bored of this against Sky stuff. It's happened, it's beyond repeal. Moaning and moaning about it is just pointless. It is no longer the 1970s, we just have to get on with it. And you're sorely misguided if you think Cellino is doing it from any kind of moral standing.

Srg Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 According to Yorkshire Evening Post, Sky are saying this is an issue between the football league and Leeds, not them. But aren't commenting further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITSD Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 I'm no great fan of Sky, and I agree they have far too much influence on football. That said, I don't think Cellino should be applauded for this- you can't just break the terms of contracts when it suits you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. Everything wrong with football is caused by the likes of Sky. What are you even talking about. Sky pay good money to show football matches. Us fans pay to watch it and like to watch it. Where's the big issue. Everything wrong with modern football comes from the clubs, owners, agents and greedy players. The financial issues have not been caused by Sky. **** sake.

Agree that's its good to see some resistance to Sky but money is ruining the game because of poor governance from the FA/ Football League and the 'want it now' attitude of many of today's fans. Managers are rarely allowed time to build a side when know-nothing idiots are given a platform on talk-in radio to call for sackings after 3 bad results. No surprise therefore that managers will go for tried & tested foreign quality over unpredictable & inexperienced English youth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ossieram Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 The only one's to suffer from this will be the people that depend on sky for their football fix, LUFC and because they suffer, so will their fans.

I stand corrected if they haven't informed Leeds. What does Regulation 81 say by the way as 75.3 speaks of "fixed penalties" if the club are in breach. I suspect that leagally there is a big difference between 'shall inform the clubs of the relevant terms of all such contracts' and letting them see the actual contract - and I suspect the relevant terms in this case are simply that Sky have the right to determine which games are shown live, are able to re-arrange fixtures to suit their TV schedules and that clubs have to comply - I doubt that Leeds have a leg to stand on if it all gets legal....
