dont want to really have another debate about bates (dont like him either ) but after ridsdale we very nearly became another rangers and we didnt --- maybe food for thought ?
If thats what you believe mate then yeah, thats what bates wants us all to believe but I know for a fact that at least 2 higher bids where tabled for LUFC the only problem being 1 of the administrators would only write off 17 million of the debts if bates and only bates took over.
bids ? we would have been extict by then ! no one likes bates and i am one of them but the way this club was run were were on the brink of armagedon, we wouldent be having this debate now im afraid if a little common sense did not prevail , we now at last look forward instead of looking back if of course we alllow ourselves to ?
Thankfully, we may shortly be able to put the bates era/saga behind us. As I've said previously, two years is a long time in footie. If gfh provide the backing, we can once again become a major premiership force
there were at least seven bids for Leeds Utd, as one of the bidders explains here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94NyFyYOc1U Bates is a con artist, he is like Pete Winkelman at Wimbledon/MK dons, he cultivates a myth around him that he âsaved the clubâ, but in reality just engineered the sale to himself for a knocked down price, so he could sell it on for his own profit.
