Leeds Unable To Take Legal Action

Last updated : 09 August 2007 By Kevin Markey
Talking after the club's unsuccessful appeal against a 15-point penalty, League chairman Lord Mawhinney said that Leeds would have to take their punishment.

He said: "We have an agreement with Leeds, signed by both the League and the club, that they will not take any legal action against us and we will not take any legal action against them.

"That is a standard part of the agreement that every club signs when it comes out of administration.

"That has not been generated for the benefit of Leeds United, we've done that in the last 40 administrations and we did in this one as well."
