Is It Fair....

... that the English Football Association officials deduct ten points from some teams for wrongdoings, and not from others? I'm pointing to the case of Chelsea, who played two players who didn't qualify for their game against Wigan; Wigan complained to the Football Association and Chelsea were fined... ok, a huge amount of money, but they didn't have the ten points deducted, which they should have done, and which would not have changed their second place position in the table. Just the same, I feel they should have had the usual ten points deducted. Leeds United, on the other hand, were struggling to stay in the Champions League, albeit a hard task on the final day of the season, but they had ten points deducted, for folding the club at the league's suggestion. Hence, Leeds will be in the First Division next year, but they've succeeded in writing off a lot of debt, by starting back up as Leeds United Limited, still under the chairmanship of Ken Bates. Ok... a cop-out one might say, in the light that they would, in all possibility, go down anyway! However... this does not detract from the fact that Chelsea got away with that ten point deduction, regardless of their position in the league, so what's it all about guys? Is this favouritism? Should Chelsea have lost the ten points, just as a reminder that they can't cross the guidelines whenever they feel like it? What are your views on this?
