    is Bates buying the club back. He's a pillock of the highest order, and he's skint. Had they done it the proper way and listened to other offers they might have had some wealthy investors, but with him at the helm they should stay where they are for a long time.

    good point. I've a mate who's a Leeds season ticket holder has been for years and years, quiet nice genuine lad. Spoke for the first time todayabout last weekend. I tried to be diplomatic but I told him' on the scales of Justice, there's you and maybe the great Leeds players Eddie Grey etc on the other side there's Wise, Bates and the holifans and I'm afraid that with those cnuts on the other side, I hope Leeds rot in hell !!!!'</p>

    Trouble is that its the small businesses who supplied the club that will miss out- a proper process that allowed for competative tendering might have brought a better deal for the creditors, who otherwise will get very little. Hopefully that can still happen.

    I'm pleased you aren't Britain's ambassador to the UN if that's you being diplomatic!

    ...............sorry, the people who own and work for the 'small businessess' are often Leeds people and LUFC fans - and many have the same aggressive. hooligan mentaility as those who invaded the pitch v Ipswich. I woild rather sponsor an RSPCA mongrel than that shower from Elland Road.

    They're tekking piss but surely setting a precedent.

    Why was Rotherham refused going into admin last season? Is it 'cos they waited 'cos they had a chance of staying up?
    This Leeds Scum has set a precedent. Any club who have no chance of staying up are going to jump straight into admin and get their points taken off in the season they are down.
    The thing that pisses me off most.....
    ....Ken Bates is still the Chairman.... I could understand if it were a whole new company in charge but the same owner/chairman!
