 Bates remains furious with the club's 15-point deduction |
Leeds chairman Ken Bates has confirmed the club are to appeal to the Football Association against the 15-point deduction imposed by the League. United were punished for a breach of rules on insolvency following Bates's takeover of the club, a punishment upheld by League chairmen on appeal.
But, in a letter on the Leeds website, Bates vowed not to let the matter lie.
"The 15 point 'sanction' is a scandal and a travesty of justice. We are appealing to the FA," he said.

"Meanwhile, we will get on with the job of strengthening the team and getting back firstly to the Championship and then the Premier League."
The club were granted permission to play in League One this year only a week before the campaign began, after finally being granted their share by the Football League.
