BBC SPORT | Football | My Club | Leeds United | Leeds demand High Court hearing

Leeds United want their 15-point deduction to be adjudicated by the High Court rather than the Football Association, reports BBC Radio Leeds.

In August, Leeds lost an appeal over the points deduction for the start of the season after the club went into administration.

Since then Leeds have made two requests to the FA to set up an independent commission to review that decision.

Leeds chairman Ken Bates had insisted the League One outfit had not broken any rules.

Yeah... that rule about entering CVA is just a suggestion.

Happy Thanksgiving to me and whatever Americans may be reading this. Imma eat my weight in turkey and stuffing.

Liverpool co-chairman Tom Hicks has put manager Rafael Benitez in his place by telling the Spaniard to "coach the players we have" rather than complain about not being able to make new signings.

The American has spoken out further after originally issuing a statement with joint owner George Gillett which said they wanted all the focus to be on the forthcoming matches and not off-the-pitch issues

Insane article about how now that City's transfer kitty will be 150,000,000 pounds and Sven will try and bring "good players" to Man City


Crouch tops wanted list as Sven given bumper transfer kitty| Sport | This is London

That could even lead to spectacular bids for the likes of Barcelona's South American pair Leo Messi and Ronaldinho, or Brazilian playmaker Kaka, of AC Milan, although nailing down such big names is another matter.

The first big target of the January transfer window will be Peter Crouch, a deal that would depend on whether or not his club, Liverpool, qualify for the knockout stages of the Champions League.

If Sven signs Peter Crouch I'm going to jump in front of something that will run me over and squish me.
