I agree that you are an attractive club to take-over. I've no doubt that if and when you get back into the Premier League, lots of Leeds fans will remember where Elland Road is again.
They are going to invest in Leeds United not bates....., and they will want clarification on what the money will be used for, will they not ???
*will remember that they can live with themselves spending money there again provided Bates has gone. Probably Toronto FC announcing a new member of the coaching staff or a new sponsor or something. If they'd put a bid in for us, there'd be no motivation to hold a press conference and declare their interest after signing confidentiality clauses with LUFC.
Is this real or just made up? It's a pretty poor PR Twitter account for a company the size of Maple Leaf.
I hated Robert Chase (former Norwich Chairman who came from the same pod as Bates) with a passion, but it didn't stop me supporting my club.
It's made up Boab. Someone spent the last 6 months regularly tweeting (over 700 times in total) just to wind up some Leeds supporters.
It doesn't stop me doing so either. I want them to win every game and go to away matches, but can't allow myself to keep giving Bates season ticket money and buying overpriced merchandise which funds his building plans. It all depends on whether you can act on what you believe in or not.
MLSE are not a company I would wish to do business with, they are maximum profit people who base their business on media revenue. They would (in my opinion) liquidate a company rather than sell it on for a loss, if the business did not make the level of profit it expected by the end of the business plan. The UK doesn't operate the same kind of media service as there is in the USA & Canada, you can't leave the agreed deal and start on your own as you can in North America, thus their business methods would not work in the UK. MLSE are currently also "up for sale" and who knows who would take them over and how much interest they would have in a football club in the England, would remain to be seen.
Thanks. One big assumption you are making is that they have no knowledge of English football and the media business in the UK. Do you have any basis for that?
Oh stick a sock in it. Sick of hearing people like this. It's the whole "I hate bates as much as the next guy but I'm happy to keep him at Leeds by ploughing my hard earned into the club at every opportunity through loyalty" where loyalty is meant to be some noble act of sacrifice. In my eyes it's just stupidity. Loyalty means staying with the club through good and bad, paying money to fund bates building projects isn't really staying with the club so it contradicts my idea of loyalty.
