At leats he isnt giving into the whims of the overpaid numbskulls. If other chairmen had his balls to say no the football world would be a better place.
Funny how Bates comes out with this sort of bluster but is thin on detail. Nice diversion for him though. Someone else's fault, as usual.
It would. But when you're fighting a one-man battle of this kind, the only people getting hurt are the supporters.
Everything moves on in life, like it or hate it... Agents are a pain in the ass but if I were a pro footballer I would get one. If I could get £12k a week at one clucb and £20k at another I know which I would plump for. Bates is a business man stuck in the past, he has failed to move with the times and his arrogant attitude towards players and their agents will only damage Leeds Utd nobody else. When he makes comments what does he hope to achieve? Does he think players and agents will see him as some tough man not to be messed with? I have news for you Ken, they are more likely thinking 'ah bollocks, don't bother even going to see what they have to offer the chairman is a muppet'...
I've got a feeling Grayson will walk, and soon! Bates is undermining him, and now it is obvious in public. Rumours on Twitter, Bates has been at Thorp Arch most of today.
