Re:Leeds United flashback - 2007/03/01 16:48
You can`t know what would or wouldn`t have happened in any of the games in the final three months of that season if Boro hadn`t been docked points.
Had the Blackburn game been played at the time, Boro may have lost heavily, and therefore gone down anyway. Any one of the clubs who ended up with 40-42 points - and there were loads of them, including Blackburn themselves - could`ve employed different tactics in any one of their fixtures if they knew that they were closer to relegation than they actually were.
I actually think that we would`ve been safe before the final day if Boro hadn`t had the points docked because we would`ve hit bottom a couple of games earlier, and, on the basis of the previous 30 years form, started the great escape earlier. living my life had yet to manifest itself.
Boro should`ve been docked nine points for signing Dean Windass from as-good-as-relegated Bradford, with a 50% bonus on his fee if they stayed up, with the two clubs still to meet.
That was the dodgiest football story ever that didn`t involve Everton.
