Cas, Kelly & Onion,
I struggle to see how any Leeds fan can defend KB? He sees our club as a cash cow and that is the only reason he is here. We have signed and played some of the worst football I have seen during his tenure.
SG is also to blame.
Morons (sound familiar?).
Cas I don'y agree, we all have our own outlook on Larry & KWB bates, do you have any mates who are chelsea fans ask the about KWB ask them about what he did didn't do what he is doing at LUFC EXACTLY the same, if he carrys on the way he is we will be deducted more points he is nothing more than a parasite bleeding us dry, he has Larry over a barrel, as Larry will never ever get a job a big as this & he knows it, so does KWB as to why he is treating him as he is. None of us actually know anything what is going on BUT my guess is KWB does nothing yes that is NOTHING for FREE, if you really believe is is not making a penny from us he has roped you in too.
If Bates was from Yorkshire people would probably warm to him
----------------
How ridiculous.
It doesn't matter where you're from.
If you're a thieving, rude a sehole, most normal people won't like you.

how come we cannot get any decent sponsors, what top rate manager would come here to ork under the straints of KWB, the answer is NONE under KWB we will never attract an O'neil or a Hughes or even dare I say it a Mourinio et all, we all want a manger of reputation, KWB wants to be the man who has a manager in his pocket to work with no moneys to scrimp to scrap just so he can say I told you my way works, GUESS WHAT? it doesnt not this day & age
Lashed, first learn to us full stops. Don't you think most do something for a reason. Even a Man City they are throwing money away (small change for them) to raise profile and has a hobbie. Ken loves being in the spotlight and rubbing people up with his comments. Some I disagree with, some are funny and some I agree with. That's life we all have our views, otherwise we'd be robots.
But, answer these things. Is he taking the club forward as a business concern? Yes there are things he could do better, ie ticket pricing, but would we have the Pavillion and Billy's bar for the fans without him? Does he pick the team? No but he needs to make the decision when to change manager and I feel that decision is looming. Be it in a few weeks or end of season.
If bates was from yorkshire we'd warm to him
Is that the most stupid thing ever wrote on here
Bates is rich.
He made 100 mill from Chelsea sale not the 17 mill reported.

ps, why name managers who would in realistic terms work in premiership. How many sponsors do we have compared to some other clubs at this level and do you have comparisons to see how much ours bring in to others? Bet a few managers at this level wish they had a £12m players budget.
Success bring in top mangers brings in top players brings in trophys brings in the crowds brings in the moneys which brings in........Success bring in top mangers brings in top players brings in trophys brings in the crowds brings in the moneys which brings in........yada yada yada
Grayson brings in Amdy Faye.
Jonty, now you are looking stupid. How did he make £100m. The club may have been sold for a £100m+, but he wasn't even the largest shareholder.
Jonty- Thats Bull- Ridsdale almost destroyed the club and some on here still warm to him- To think niavely that the name calling cockney t urd ect does not have a bearing on how is is viewed is Bull.-
Thieving- Bit strong and no substance.
Rude - I give you that-
The rest is your opinion
LIW, totally agree it shouldn't matter where a chairman, player, manager etc comes from.
I don't think ken will be the biggest shareholder at leeds.
I think he'll be in with another person
Jonty- Thats Bull- Ridsdale almost destroyed the club and some on here still warm to himJonty- Thats Bull- Ridsdale almost destroyed the club and some on here still warm to him
Kelly, show me one person apart rom Mrs Ridsdale who warms to him.
You really do come up with some comedy classics at times.
LIW, there is an arab down at Chelsea who owns 20%.
Kelly,
It doesn't have to be one extreme or the other. Unfortunately in recent times that is what we have been landed with. Lots of other clubs can understand the desire for success. It is a sport at the end of the day. Sometimes you have to invest a little to get a lot back.
Jonty, one thing I would say is many had faith in Risdale up until the wheels coming of the wagon. The problem is many never gave Bates a chance or acknowledge what he has done.
On a poll on Leeds mad- Bates or Ridsdale better chairman - Ridsdale won it Someone likes him still or really hates Kenny Bates.
Kelly
I've never seen people warm to ridsdale on here at all
That bull to justify your comment
My own view is that ridsdale is similar to olearly, both in the first few years did Brillant jobs, but started believing their own hype and did some unbelievable stupid things

Cas, how can you say people didn't gee Bates a chance when folk like yourself still are giving him plenty of chances?
I imagine I'm not alone in fans who though Bates might be good for Leeds when he took over........until we found out more about him and saw first hand what he is doing to the club.
I imagine I'm also not alone in seeing that Ridsdale was at least a fan but he got it wrong big time and that we hate him for his sloping shoulders approach to his responsibilities at Leeds.
Bates is neither a fan nor good for Leeds. I genuinely would not be surprised if when he dies he has a letter waiting for his solicitor to open which pokes fun at Leeds and its supporters.
Jonty, read my comment in the words of others on here. I said MANY, not me. As for he tenureship, he has got things wrong as everyone on here does and will, but he has also done things for the best of the club.
As for you last comment will that include a letter for every club he's run and the FA
