Every Silver Line has a great Black Cloud

Trivia Question. Which team in the 4 English Football Leagues has a 100% record so far this season? Here's a clue, it's also the only team with negative points after four matches played. That's right, I've given it away, it's Leeds United. They are now bottom of League One (or Division Three to all of us old enough to remember!). Because they choose to go bankrupt after being
relegated last year, Leeds started the season with a penalty of -15 points. On balance it was a tight call - with the lower funding in League One, Leeds decided that they would be unable to meet the continuing payments to their top premiership players who had left a couple of years ago but were still receiving settlements based on their loony playing contracts. A quick liquidation and resale sorted that out, for better or worse and now they are still alive as a football franchise albeit with a significant millstone hanging round their neck. It looked like it was possible that Leeds would make the double drop and be in League Two next year.
But wily Dennis Wise has used adversity to advantage. He has galvanised the team (so far) with a "they're all out to get us" Roy of the Rovers approach. As a result Leeds have won their first four matches. So now they are the only team on maximum points in England (Rangers also have the only 100% record in Scotland). It's not much consolation to a patient Leeds fan (and there still are a lot of us out there!), but it's the best we can do in these sorry times!
