Did anyone give you the high five Jonty?
If so then yes, it does count!

Fire in the belly, why the comment like that, can you not debate reasonably with people who are of different opinions...

Tuscany, You haven't answered my question.
Supposing your nephew was one of those businesses which only got a penny in the pound?

And we're talking of same business people as your nephew, young & in the black.

I think your nephews article was a bit out of order today, especially when this man has ruined peoples lifestyles in our great city.

LS.. actually agreed there mate... I heard a story of some Catorer who got stung for about 2k.... but the players still got thier money....

Leeds South.... the answer to your question is thats business mate, of course if personal feelings became of it, i.e he ripped my nephew off... it would be different, but they don't, business and personal are different

have you never played a dirty tactic to get the pendulam swing your way LS? I have... do I feel guilty? No

So you think that Bates making a lot of money off the bank savings of some Irish people and off the UK government because of exploiting a small Caribbean island is business but not personal?

What Bates has done isn't really business. The quarrying stuff he did before yes, but since then...he's made money by stealing.

Best Fans... whilst that sounds very ruthless, is there actualy proof of all this? question seriously? If Bates invested 20 million for new players tomorrow you wouldn't care one bit about how he got there...

You're safe in that he won't of course, but think about these morals if it did happen

There's proof of him exploiting that Caribbean island. And there's proof of him owning the Irish Trust fund before lots of loans went to off shore companies (sound familiar?) and then the bank going bust.

If he invested 20 million, I'd still feel the same about how he made the money. Obviously I'd be happy for the club, but still prefer those people he ripped off to have their money.

What I find really amusing is all the 'drearies' urging Bates to spend money, money they say he has stolen?



Then they rip him apart for being part of a conspiracy!!

I not urging Bates to spend HIS money, I want him to spent the money that Leeds Utd generates. Which he hasn´t on the playing squad. Tusc´s question was about Bates´himself.

No wonder we have no investors, who in the right mind would want to do any business with Ken Bates?!

Id love to smash his horrible smug face in.

Best Fans - 7 years of lies, BATES OUT

I'm not talking of you personally, it's a general comment.

It's addressed to all the folk that say he's stealing money!

----------------

I personally want him to spend money, his or the clubs! I don't care as long as it improves our chances of getting promoted.

The fact is though, it would appear at the moment he disagrees.

Good stuff,

nightclubs and casinos sounds like a good business to be in

must say ive only been to a casino once and came out on top so haven't been back since cos guaranteed to lose.

posted on 14/2/12



the only draw back for me is it is rather nocternal... I get to spend some decent time with the children through the day though...

Nightclubs plural? Check you out. taking it that’s through West Yorkshire, so Leeds, Wakefield etc.

Pags.. no that side of things are in the south of England (mostly) my brother looks after all that though, (the one in the south) - IF I ever go to them it's just to take associates for a night out....
