Doncaster Rovers chairman John Ryan thinks it would be a sad day for football if Leeds United have their 15-point deduction overturned.
If the West Yorkshire side win their appeal against the penalty and get all the points back, they would move into an automatic promotion place, while Rovers would slip to fourth.
Ryan told the BBC: "In my opinion they will fail. If they do succeed it would be an incredibly sad day for football.
"It would actually mean that promotion could be decided in a court of law.
"I've never known anything like this happen. What would happen next? Would Bournemouth, Luton, Rotherham - all the other teams that have lost ten points - take on the Football League? I think it's a nonsense."
