Agents must love having their players at Leeds, 1. If they want to engineer a pay day move away, then all they do is question the club, then Bates ego will lead to a move. 2. Fans don't see that these agents players are holding the club to ransom, simply as Bates ego won't admit it or discuss our offers. 3. When they go for peanuts and a big signing on fee, no one finds out because Bates ego stops him admitting he got turned over. We all blame Bates for taking the money and selling the clubs assets, but perhaps he is a powerless old has been, who can not cut it any longer? Just a thought
Perhaps very true indeed. The guy has lost his marbles and is very likely to be done over. As for Harvey covering Bates's back? Not a chance, he's too thick
I don't think he's lost his marbles, I just think he's a very immature person who somehow by some random sequence of events got to be in charge of several businesses. This happens some times.
Ken Bates's personal greed and hunger to stay in power, at all costs is our weakness. I said when we sacked Larry that we would be lucky to finish in the top 10 and so it has proved. I also said that Bates's death could not come quickly enough for me, as this is the only hope our team has, of starting to move forward again. (This opinion still holds) We were very lucky we were not near the bottom or we'd have been relegated. Bringing Neil Warnock in has made no difference, as i said it wouldn't. Most of our best players were sold off long ago (fees undisclosed of course) No Bates's death or club being sold to someone with money is our only hope. Please Master Bates, park it then cark it!...
I hear that about the hunger to stay in power. Why is he so insistent on staying in control of Leeds United? He's 80 years old he's not exactly going to be around much longer. It's been communicated that he does not want a buyer to come in, he just wants investors to put their money in with him still in charge. If I were an outside investor, I'd see the state the club is in, the fact that the footballing side is getting ****ed over every step of the way and I'd tell him to stay away from my money and to stick his ideas up his big fat ass.
