    just to get this straight ??

    leeds go into admin , ken bates wipes 35 million quid of debt off , offering 1 pence in the pound to creditors , then buys back the same club and same set of players/land/holdings for nothing ( or 1 pence in the pound)

    then expects nobody to get upset.....

    which begs the question...

    ...how come they could only afford 1p a few weeks ago but now they can suddenly afford 8p?</p>

    Sounds like an attempt at fraud to me.</p>

    RE: And after they've done that

    Not much benefit to that anyhow - most are domiciled in tax havens, and the rest will find yet another cunning way of reducing tax.
