Apparently Bates has left the club and they're being taken over by some foreign investors. On twitter ( cough )

Sorry if there's a thread on this already.

Iheard about this a few weeks back from a mate who is a die hard Leeds fan. He was quite excited then again if it was Jack the Ripper he would be more popular than Bates up there

Could be the same rumour of kuwaities raking over Nottingham forest, nobodies sure which club they are taking over, but they definitely want a club and it's between Leeds and forest it think. Prefer it to be forest!

Hopefully it goes tits-up for them.Deluded fuckwits that still think they belong in the top 4 after one amazing Champions League run.

leeds deserve to be in the prem, well supported but let down by bad management.



that rings a bell

I hope it is true, I'd like to see Leeds back in the top flight. Always a great atmosphere when Leeds come to town.

know a few leeds lads and none of them think this. city have had battles with them in the past and there can be a lot of ill feeling on the day but it adds to the occasion when there is an edge to the game. Add the fact they hate the scum as much as we do, then I think the premiership would be better with them in it.

I'd rather be playing them than a team like Wigan. At least there would be some atmosphere in the away end.

A Leeds Utd fan I know reckons that they havent been interested in getting promoted until next season. He claims that under the terms of their previous administration they would have to make a massive payout to former creditors if they returned to the PL within a specified period, which has now run out. IF true that would also make them more valuable to an investor now.

agree 100%, I've always had a bit of a soft spot for 'em TBH. A bit like us and they hate the rags intently, something I can always associate with!
