Guardian apologises to Leeds United football club

By paulmcnally

The Guardian has apologised to Leeds United football club about a story it printed on 4 April, which wrongly suggested that the reason why the club was docked 15 points at the start of the season was because it had broken insolvency regulations.

“This is untrue,” the paper said in its corrections column on Saturday. “We accept that there were no breaches of such regulations in connection with the 15-point deduction that was made at the start of the season. We apologise to Leeds United for any embarrassment caused.”
