This was the reply from the FA:

Dear John

Academy Players

Thank you for your letter dated 25th January 2006 regarding the above

Following your letter, bringing this matter to our attention, The FA is now working with Leeds United FC to resolve the matter. I am in regular contact with Shaun Harvey at the Club and we are continuing to monitor and hopefully address the issues.

I appreciate your concern not only for the good of the club and its young players but for the wider interests of English football. These match our own as the game's governing body.

Best wishes,
Yours sincerely

Simon Johnson
Director of Corporate Affairs
