Leeds United look likely to join Sheffield United in receiving a points deduction next season as a punishment for unpaid transfer fees. It would appear that in addition to losing £33M in their latest accounts they also owe £190M in unpaid transfer fees.

Talk about gaining an unfair competitive advantage, and this on top of parachute payments.

I know they cant , But they really should both have had deductions THIS season. Ridiculously, They are profiting from their poor financial spending

Exactly Liz, we are victims of cheating here and it could potentially cost us mega Millions, I'd be seeking legal advice as we speak tbh.

Bit misleading.

They haven't got £190m unpaid as such.

Yes, they owe £190m but only £74m of that is due at the end June and they have the financial backing to be able to pay it.

Sheffield United had unpaid transfers fees and didn't have the financial backing to cover them, that's the difference.

I've £100k unpaid left on my mortgage but it's fine as I have the finances to keep up the repayments when they are due. If I didn't I'd lose the house.

Only 190m.
Be all good I'm sure.
