Bates Buying Time At Leeds By Hinting At Limited Sell Out


So Master Bates has fed Leeds fans a few scraps in his programme notes and suddenly all the natives are happy. But look closer, and what has the Chairman actually revealed?

The club are in advanced talks with a prospective buyer. Check. We knew that some time ago.

The would be investors - and that is a key word - have not yet committed themselves and nor has Bates agreed to sell any or all of his shares. We knew that too.

Confidentiality agreements prevent Bates from saying who the buyers are. Nothing new there.

The would be owners are from Bahrain. But didn't LUST tell us that a couple of months ago? Mind you, everything LUST have said has been wrong according to Bates.

The deal didn't happen in time for the August transfer window. We noticed Ken.

The hope is to complete the deal before the January window. You might expect that, but there are no guarantees.

London lawyers are holding up the deal. Ah, the familiar tactic of demonisation. Blame the bastard lawyers, and better still, make them Southern bastard lawyers!

Meanwhile, there are rumours of an American investor too.

And most crucially, the clever money seems to be on Bates retaining a controlling interest in the club and staying on as Chairman. Just what Leeds fans are hoping for!

And what don't we know? Who exactly. When exactly. How much exactly.

Back to back defeats raised the prospect of the natives getting restless. But now, they have put away their weapons and are once again waiting patiently. Bless.

Mind you, Jose has resigned from Real Madrid and Ronaldo has said he is sad at the club, so who knows...

You've been reading Leeds Uniteds programme notes? You are obsessed. Is this because some woman/bloke you have a shrine to and who is out of your league consequently wanting nothing to do with you is a Leeds fan? On behalf of the supporters of West Ham,jump off a tall building,preferably into some dog shit.

Pathetic West Ham fan buying time posting cloud cookooland bollocks on his shite little blog.

Well,seems like you have a clear understanding of the Leeds situation by quoting the oh so obvious.Shame this blog cannot rise above the moronic level.Would be good to promote real debate rather than promote cheap shots ? Cannot see this ever happening as it appears you want to encourage the keyboard commandos .
Complete waste of time.

I like your comments I know they're a mickey take but it's only what us Leeds fans are secretly worrying ourselves!

Good article and sadly not far off the truth. However I Think that Bates has realized that he is unable to unlock the economic potential at Leeds and wants to bring additional investors unboard. He will probably sell half of his shares to investors that are willing to commit funds to the club. Bates will still be in control as he can count on those extra 28% shares held by other investors. Hopefully the funds from Bahrein will elevate Leeds to the Premier league where Bates will relinguish his remaining shares.

I don't get it, this was posted today yet you not talked about the bates interview or the owners being at the ground. So your whole article was just a waste of time for me to read and you to write. Thanks for that

You know it really won't do? Once again you correct the grammar and spelling in comments(18.44) and just to show what an ignorant cockney tit you are,you spell programme-program. If i was you i'd give up as you look more foolish with each post.

Hammersfan said...

I hope your stupid comment hasn't invited the disease upon your father 2203; if cancer strikes at any point in the future you will find it very hard to live with yourself if you are a decent person. You really should think before you type comments like that.

Do you ever form opinions of your own, or just repeat what has already been reported and repeat views already expressed by Leeds fans? Don't know why you have a vendetta against Leeds, but im sure you aren't an example of all west ham fans, I mean they cant all be vermin

You want a debate with this twonk ??

Anonymous said...

Yep you're looking more foolish by the day alright. Let me get this right. YOU'RE actually accusing someone of making stupid comments on here and asking if they're a decent person? Whether or not the comments were stupid(and they were) whet right have you to say that? You're getting back with interest what you've gave others,you've spent a great deal of your time thinking of ways to offend and incite. The images of a man covered in blood or your normal fixation with smut and porn illustrate your mentality. If people have been hitting back using fair means or foul and they've eventually found your weak spot,you've only got yourself to blame. As far as your dad joshing it,look on the bright side- it's one less to buy for at xmas.

I couldn't agree more!
HF I hate the way you insist on taking cheap shots at our club.

But I hate even more idiots who think it's ok to ridicule someone because a member of their family has died of cancer. Can't you block his IP address?

Anyway see you in the championship next season! MOT!

These comments concerning cancer are nothing short of disgraceful. People should bare in mind that hf has already suffered first hand from that terrible disease. So why not for a change,we all cross our fingers in the hope he gets AIDS? There's more chance of him getting that aswell due to him currently being in Eastern Europe stalking his favourite prostitute who worked with his mam and was deported due to a passport discrepancy when they couldn't decide if it was a man or a woman. Go on hf,get some of that hf action.

Hey 8:29, I agree West Ham are going down but I'm not giving up on our promotion chances. Let's say the'll be seeing Barnsley in the Championship next season. MOT

I am a reknowned oncologist and after careful analysis of you and your posts i can now tell you publicly that you also have the Big C.........Dyslexia you thick cockney twat. You love to correct the grammar and spelling in these comments,especially when you're losing the battles. Yet your own posts are riddled with mistakes. By the way,couldn't do anything for your father as Come Dine With Me was on tv when they wheeled him in. Win some,lose some.Love that show.

Hammersfan said...

In the light of Mr Halsey referring throat cancer tweets to the police, I think a few people might like to be a little more careful. I am not upset by these comments because they are pathetic but it seems the police may be interested and, as I have no love for you guys...

I am dyslexic yes. So? I have worked hard to improve myself. My objection is those who do not, and never have, tried.

Anonymous said...

The police will piss themselves laughing as they arrest you for incitement you dickhead. They will look at each and every post you've put up and if there's the slightest bit of trouble should we draw you in any cup game,they'll throw the book at you. If you don't like it,stop posting inflmmatory shit about Leeds. You know as much about the law as you do about literacy. You have the nerve to call others for their spelling too? What if they're dyslexic too? I seem to remember you calling quite a few people thick knuckle dragging/wife beaters. What you sow you reap.Your father would turn in his urn.

So you're elevating your importance to that of a premier league referee now. You don't seem able to grasp the fact that you have spent the past year insulting and inciting the supporters of other clubs,giving particular attention to Leeds United. Despite all the warnings and protesting you've continued like some deranged loony,while sniggering with the few allies you have at the Leeds fans "biting".I sincerely hope you DO go to the police and that they scrutinize all your posts and we can see what you look like and where you live. You've got a bloody nerve.

Hammersfan said...

0731, he can't because he was scattered. Refused to pay for a carpark all his life and made us walk miles to save on the fee, so my mother scattered him all over a carpark close to the beach in Lyme Regis muttering, "You can stay here for ever and not pay a penny."

Hammersfan said...

Leeds Mick, do show me an article that antagonises. The vast majority of my Leeds threads have one or more Leeds fans posting agreement. Yes, if the truth hurts, I antagonise. But, as of yet, there is no law against telling the truth in the UK. Anyway, I think you will accept that there is a difference between making negative predictions about a football club and wishing cancer on somebody's son. I would hope so anyway!

HaHa Tranny is in denial again

Leeds Mick said...

Jesus! Whats the matter with you? You honestly can't remember referring to people from Leeds as-wife beaters?knuckle draggers?ill educated/illiterate? and thats just off the top of my head. I also recall remarks concerning the women of Leeds. You really ought to do your homework as you've a clear case of verbal diarrhoea and a clear case of amnesia. Your post with the bloodied Bahraini protester photo was particularly offensive in a football related article. You were the one who set the perimeters with no level too low,so you have no right to whinge when it comes back to you. It's simple really.Leave Leeds United alone and you won't get the abuse.

Anonymous said...

Hammersfan, these posts and comments are getting more aggressive by the day. I can't remember the last time a post or comment made me laugh which is a shame as I used to enjoy reading them (and contributing a few). I'm sure you must hate Leeds now more than you did a year ago which can't be healthy for you mate? Maybe it's time to give up this interest in Leeds for your own sanity. I know you're stubborn and will do the opposite anyway but you can't seriously be enjoying this. Ever heard of the stages of grief? I honestly see something similar happening to this site.
