Time waster: Why Leeds getting (ahem) "relegated" could be the end of the world

Odd thing to say surely, seeing as Leeds United have so many rivalries and are generally one of the most hated teams in England. But I decided to look at the relationship between the safety of the world and the form of Leeds United (because I have nothing better to do while 'studying' for A-Levels) Doomsday Clock The Doomsday clock was devised by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists Science and Security Board. It began in 1947 and was originally an analogy for showing how close the world is to nuclear war. It began at 7 minutes to midnight and has fluctuated ever since, at 'midnight' a nuclear war begins. For more information take a look at this wikipedia article and this website that logs the times and reasons for changing the times.
Leeds United Leeds were a fairly insignificant club for their early history, bounding between the First and Second division until the 1961 appointment of Don Revie. During his 13 year stint he guided Leeds to two First Division Championships, an FA Cup, a League Cup, and two Inter-Cities Fairs Cups (the precursor to the Europa League). He left in 1974 to succeed Alf Ramsey as England manager. Replacing him was Brian Clough who was dismissed after a tumultuous 44 days in charge. Later that season Leeds were cheated out of lost a European Cup Final to Bayern Munich. They spent most of the 1980's in the Second Division before Howard Wilkinson got them promoted and won the last First Division title in 1992, with a certain egotistical Frenchman leading the line. The 90's and early 2000's were successful including a UEFA cup semifinal and a Champions League semi final. However it came all crashing down with their financial implosion. For the rest of the 2000's and 2010's they have been in the Championship aside from a three year stint in League One (during which Swindon Town soundly beat Leeds 3-0 home and away).
I just got the AIDS reading the parenthetical sentence

A value of -0.5803 is so high that, according to my A-Level maths data book, this is above the critical value for a correlation test at the 0.5% significance level. Therefore there is less than a 1 in 200 chance that the end of the world is not caused by Leeds doing poorly

TonyPulisic• 20h How about splitting the Championship into two divisions, one of which only contains Leeds and has no promotion or relegation? Reckon 21st place is still relatively safe for the world
