“I had never heard of [Lowy],” Bates said in an interview with the Yorkshire Radio station. “I know of this story now because someone sent me a printout of an Australian newspaper the report was in but it is the usual rubbish – a source said, somebody claimed, and nobody was available for comment. “This Lowy, I think he runs Westfield, the property company. Aren’t they the one that has completely buggered up the town centre of Bradford? Hardly the best reference for someone who wants to buy a football club 12,000 miles from home. Interestingly he [reportedly] has a Leeds-based agent examining Leeds United – let’s hope it’s not Gerald Krasner.

Westfield rings a bell???? When Bates was given the job of building the new Wembley for the FA, didn't he give Westfield the contract. As usual with bates and property development, the whole thing went titsup and bates was sacked and another contractor came in to take over. By the time Wembley was completed the costs had overrun 3 times.
EARLY APRIL FOOL'S! Me and Josh totally made this up... some of you even reported it on Twitter! I'm sorry. ... ... ... ... ... ...
Would have had me going stronger and longer if lowy had not been 82, but I gotta say, you could probably come up with any of the world's top 1000 rich list and get us going on here. Good jape chaps I justhope for some that this takeover comes off else they will need some serious **** to stay on the level
True, but the idea was that we'd get an Aussie so Josh would look like he was in the know. If he'd said some Arab were doing it, it would have had no more credibility than leeds-rumours.com. Still, we got some great bites!
Bastards!! Didn't fit in with the little data that we'd gleaned, but fcuk me, I'm so desperate to get rid of bates, I'll believe anything. I've got a taste of us getting rid of him, and I sooooo want it to happen, I just don't care how it happens. Never been so open to gullibility in my life. Bastards!!
