BR2 Leeds is rather a small club that has only ever won the "First Division" once-the likes of Pompey and Huddersfield have won it more than them
That's just totally wrong - I can think of three championships they've won off the top of my head.

Out of the frying pan?
I don't think things have been so negative for Liverpool since Heysel.

All accounts suggest John Henry is a different cat to Hicks and Gillette
LFC fans should look favourably upon the fact that Henry lifted "The Curse of the Bambino" maybe he can do the same for what everyone (well Kes) is calling "The Curse of the Backpass Rule"

The top of your head-that's better than my top of the head but then you don't have so many years to remember
.They have won it once more than Preston but once less than Sheff Wednesday which keeps it in perspective-they are not much of a club.
Stranded I thought that loophole had been shut following the So'ton situation?
With Soton they said the holding company and the club were inextricably linked, i.e effectively the same. I can't see why the same argument doesn't apply to Kop Holdings particularly as the club service the debt from their income.
With West Ham there was no such link, just one of Eggy's many companies went titsup owing a lot.

Sky Sports (I know) now reporting something along those lines.

I can't get excited about this news for one reason
There is zero chance of that bunch of clowns inflicting a 9 point penalty on a big boy like Liverpool
The Premier League board, which comprises chief executive Richard Scudmore, chairman Sir Dave Richards and secretary Mike Foster, would then decide whether to dock points.

The deductions are to punsih teams who cheat their way to success by dodgy financial shenanigans, Pompey got to 2 cup finals, what have Liverpool gained from all this?

Obviously not a 'small' club, but any source that lists 'UEFA Cup 2nd Round' on an honours board needs to take a look at itself.

Confirmed that George Gillett has defaulted on a £75M loan that he took out to invest in Liverpool. Rumours now abound that Mill Financial have taken control of his shareholding.

Liverpool chairman Martin Broughton admits the club could end up in administration next week.
The Reds' future will be decided in the High Court on Tuesday, as Broughton battles with the club's owners George Gillett and Tom Hicks over the proposed sale of the club to New England Sports Ventures.
Broughton was hired by Hicks and Gillett earlier this year as club chairman, with his main job being to find a new owner.
He has now set up a £300million sale to NESV, but Hicks and Gillett are not happy with the price and are now taking the issue to court.
If Hicks and Gillett win their case, then Broughton says the club could very well go into administration as the club's main financial backers, Royal Bank of Scotland, are due to call in their debt of £280million on 15th October.
Should RBS call in their debts, then that would see Liverpool enter administration which would also see a nine-point deduction in the Premier League.
"It [administration] could happen, yes," Broughton told the Daily Telegraph.
"This is all part of why it is important that we made the decision on Tuesday to accept one or the other of the two very acceptable bids. Heading for administration was a very likely outcome if we didn't.
"Even now with the court case looming, administration cannot be ruled out. It is not inevitable, and I am not going to start giving percentages of how much it is possible. That is why we are going to court to clarify our position on the sale of the club, and we have to win in court, and we will win in court."
Broughton admits the consequences of administration would be 'catastrophic'
"Going into administration needs to be avoided at all costs, as the negative impact would be catastrophic," he said.
"Setting aside the nine-point deduction, it would have an impact on Liverpool's value and be wide open to predators, whereas we have what we believe is the right new owners to take the club forward."
Should Hicks and Gillett fail, NESVs takeover could be completed shortly afterwards as their proposed directors, John W Henry and Tim Werner, have been cleared by the Premier League to take control of the club under its Owners and Directors test.

"It could happen"
Not wishing to be another Snowball but I prefer facts.
Lots of things could happen next week
It could rain
It could snow.
Let's see shall we.
