I think we were only £35 million in dept when Bates first took over. (ONLY)
I my be wrong but I think we went into administration under Bates with £100 million in Dept.

We are NOT in debt now, it was a stratigic move - one that is common in business

Sorry chaps meant debt not dept

It was roughly £25m when Bates took over and £35m at administration.

Do you actually know about his business dealings outside of football?

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

all is forgiven

Cozer, how was the march? - I saw some of it on the local news....

what makes me laugh on here is the fact that people think they know how to run a football club.
Bates has been doing it all his life and some think they no it all,saying things like he's not doing this he's not doing that,its laughable.

If it was'nt for Bates there would no longer be a leeds utd, but some just can' understand it, or should i say some won't accept it because of there own stubborn values.
it's a shame it really is

I take my hate off to all of you.

Tuscany you must Know all about mug punter's then.

You know that´s not how the legal system works.

best fans when you commit a crime, or do something illegal and get caught you go to prison....

where is your proof he's dodgy or has done anything illegal, if you have any, you should take it to the police mate
