A lot of Leeds United fans have responded to the news that the English Football League has charged Derby County for breach of spending rules, and they now face a points deduction.
The Rams now face a hearing from an Independent Disciplinary Commission where their fate will be decided.
Should Leeds be happy with this news?
Yes, it is karma
No, it doesn't matter
The possible points deduction has gone down well with these Leeds fans who feel it is karma for ‘Spygate.’
1 year on from trying to take the moral high ground about a man on a path, Derby are charged with failing FFP

Brilliant.. a decent points deduction could take them down. That would do very nicely indeed!

What do we think?
Exactly a year ago yesterday, Marcelo Bielsa presented his PowerPoint about ‘Spygate’, which caused a lot of friction between the two clubs and some of the Derby players even mocked the whole saga, which has seen them now dubbed as ‘rivals’.
Fast forward to 2020, and Derby’s stadium sale has resulted in a charge from the EFL, and if they are found guilty, they could be deducted up to 21 points.
This would almost certainly relegate the Rams who find themselves currently ten points above the drop zone with 19 games left.
The problem for them would be if the decision is delayed until later in the season.
Many Leeds fans are still annoyed about ‘Spygate,’ and they see this as justice.
