A pavillion that costs me £3.50 if i want to go in, as i drive cant get the money back in a drink, already paid £516 for the pleasure of going in.
Turnover last year £27m, 50% on wages but had to sell players to make a profit ??
Season tickets for kids £230-430 when most in championship £50-100.
Attendance break even figure beaten every year plus cup run and transfer money must be around £15m yet no decent signings made.
Honestly cant believe people still think Bates is good for the club, dont believe what some people connected with the club say in the papers and on the radio what they say in private is totally different.

Of course I have a grudge re Bates, he is destroying my club.
Cas, no, just for Leeds as I genuinely think he is peeing himself behind his back at Leeds fans. (well, maybe the FA as well!)

Nobody has had a look at books, and so people shouldn't be able to
What you get from companies house is very basic

It will be very hard to prove. As much as I despise KB he is not stupid. We know how adept he can be at covering his tracks. This man cannot lie straight in bed.

Ask any accountant to look at our accounts and they will immediately notice certain things that indicate the accounts are suspicious.
You really have be extremely naive to genuinely think that there is nothing underhand going on at ER.
LIW, basis but audited. So if he is taking money out it would be in the books somewhere.

Cas
But your not getting the breakdown of things.
The expenses look way too high, my thoughts is there will be management charges in there from companies linked to bates
That's just my thoughts on it
Bates is a tax avoider but is not robbing the club.
We know how adept he can be at covering his tracks.

How can you make a comment about knowing and then in the same post go on about claims without proof?
Kelly, do you believe that Bates has worked for free at Leeds for the last 7 years?

He has said that on record as you know and the details accounts should back that up.
Kelly, answer the question. Do you believe that Bates has worked for free at Leeds for the last 7 years.
Simple yes or no, surely you can manage that.
Jonty,
How much tax has KB been paying recently?
Ok?
Not sure so cannot answer either way- Look at the accounts and you will have your answer.
How, much tax do you pay if you have no income?
Kelly, if you are not sure then you are saying you don't believe bates.
If you believed Bates then you would agree with what he says.
How can you not believe Bates and still defend him.
Ludicrous.
You won't get your answer because your not seeing any breakdown and rightly so
Cas, of course Bates has an income, he doesn't just have a stash of money that earns no interest, pays no dividends etc.
The tax comment was not to do with the club rather to show what sort of person is running it.
