Quote: Dita's Slot Meter "Unanimously is interesting, considering that last week it was 6-5 in favour of lowering it.
Highly likely that the Yorkshire clubs were won around by the threat of the league splitting and then being left in the bottom half, where there was less money?

Any split that didn't involve Leeds would see the splitting clubs facing some quite big financial pain quite quickly - they're Sky's no. 1 rating team, similarly Hull. Lose those two and suddenly Sky's £££ offer wouldn't be very attractive.
