"Bates wants to build two hotels, a club megastore, a covered shopping arcade, a health club, tourist centre and a Leeds United museum. "

"Bates announced details of a Chelsea Village-style development at Elland Road in Saturday's match programme. "

Now forgive me if I'm missing something here, but aren't Leeds Utd that football club that went into administration with spirraling debts, then shafted their creditors with about 9p in the pound or something ? Exactly how is this wonderful new stadium going to be financed ?

I think the clue is in the article.

"two hotels, a club megastore, a covered shopping arcade, a health club,"

They will be able to borrow against the future income of the hotels, shopping arcade and health club.

A new company will be set up to build this, and then half way through building it will go into liquidation and the company be sold to Bates for a nominal fee, and he will get the lot built for next to nothing and own it all.

Because we're MASSIVE Leeds United and im not talking about our guts either :salute:
You're little tin pot 3rd division Leeds, the 3rd biggest club in Yorkshire.

Actually in all seriousness, you're probably about 18th biggest club in the country, so definietely not massive.

You had some chances to get back into the game but yes, you're shit and i hope the wankers who thought it would be funny to spray their stupid little hoolie tag on Billys statue get hit by a bus.
