Leeds talking to Ken Bates (according to SSN)

[Muzzman]

Ken talking about investing in Leeds says sky sports news..

 

[Superseagull]

Leeds must be desperate.

 

[Wardy]

Leeds must be desperate.

So must Ken Bates

 

[perth seagull]

Shame, I was hoping for a ten point deduction for Leeds.

 

[Scoffers]

Leeds are rumoured to be in discussions with my nextdoor neighbours dog, Benji.

 

[n1 gull]

They seem to talk to loads of people, but as soon as they open up the books everyone seems to leave sharpish.
I hope they're f*cked

 

[Curious Orange]

Leeds current debts will seem small compared to the shit Chelsea were in prior to Bates selling them to Abramovich.

 

[clapham_gull]

has bought a 51% share

At this rate they'll be in talks with Bill Archer soon.

[Starry]

I told you all this last week when he was denying ever being at the Dorchester in London having a meeting.

 

[Curious Orange]

So, Starry, how does another £80 million debt grab you? He knows how to run a football club does Ken.

Doesn't grab me at all.

Grabs me even less that the rest of the board will leave (bought out) and my good friend </sarcasm> Simon Morris will be staying.

And contrary to what was posted above it is not a done deal.

 

[Chopper West]

I hope for your sake that someone comes to the rescue who has the best interests of the fans at heart. That man is not Blaster Bates. As well as taking Chelsea to the brink he also did his best to turn the Wembley redevelopment into a disaster too.

A bit harsh, though losing 10 points might be good for us, I would hate to see anytime go through that. It would also feel hollow if we were to finish 4 bottom, with leeds below us after losing 10 points.

When are the fixtures out?

He has been sniffing around at Leeds for some weeks.

 

[dougdeep]

I heard he will probably try to buy Sheff Wed. If that fails then he'll try for the lesser club.

What! You mean he's buying Palace

He tried to get in at Leeds last March but was told to take a jump, then went to Wednesday when he couldn't get in at Leeds. Came back to Leeds because, well - who knows. But its his own money he is using not bankrolled from anywhere else and if he is prepared to risk it we'll take it.

 

[Yorkie]

Wednesday fought him off. He's not the most financially astute of directors and Leeds must be desperate to consider him.

He will increase your debts Starry without a doubt.
