Leeds Deal Nearly Done!

So it is close. Very close. Close. Close. Close. So close Master Bates can almost smell his money. GFC /GFH have the cash to complete the deal. They have already invested £2m in the club. It's going to happen! It's really going to happen!

But is it? It's been close for six weeks now and nothing has happened. And more to the point, if it does happen, what happens next?

There are still huge question marks over the buyers. If I supported Leeds I would be very, very worried indeed. If this bank is really committed to the club, why wasn't a deal done to help finance new signings in the window? Leeds are in touch with the teams at the top but have struggled to break into the top 6, never mind claim one of the promotion places.

Leeds fans will hope that they can "do a Reading" and put together a run of results that enables them to charge up the table. But new players take time to "bed in", and if a transfer war chest really is available to Warnock, January and February may be needed for familiarisation and precious points may be conceded. That's if a transfer war chest is available!

Bates' only priority is profit and he will not be arsed what happens to Leeds after he has gone. In fact, he would hate to see the club turn a healthy profit after his departure. There's still lots of questions that need answering with no answers forthcoming.

But the clock is ticking. The deal is close, close, close. If not today, then tomorrow - but that's Saturday! Then Sunday. No, Monday then. Or the day after. But it's close. Close. Close. Let's hope its not a pig's head on a stick, a Lord of the Flies!

For once i actually agree with you. It's been too "close" for months now. Most Leeds fans are sick to the back teeth of this saga. No takeover should take this long to go through.

Scary I actually agree with you close!yeah yeah yeah

I think the takeover is very close... It seems pretty obvious that its taken so long because of how Bates owns the club through his various trading companies and other parties involved.

Bates wants maximum dollar for Leeds and all the intricacies take time!

What do you mean IF I supported Leeds? You DO support Leeds as you have admited on more than one ocassion ( My Championship team to support) and your pathological obsession with them certainly verifies this.
It's not lack of finance thats holding up this deal , it's unravelling Bad Santa's shonky accounts which would challenge any Team of accountants.

Don't worry fellow White, the good times are just around the corner!

I think a lot of Leeds fans are past caring to be honest.The proposed buyers have already shown they couldn,t run a piss up in a brewery with the way they have conducted the "takeover",still not holding my breath.This ridiculous farce of a takeover has given me plenty of time to reflect what sort of Leeds United do i really want to support.A Man city that throws money at greedy prima donnas that have no affinity or passion for LUFC.A Man utd,followed by idiots who have attached themselves because they are successful.Time will tell.MOT

Nobody cares about it but you mr spanner do us all a favour and go play with nuts. Your trolling for respect and debate isnt working you tart!

Yeah Leeds fans are bored with this, its like the 848473872983th day of the takeover

It is wrong to just insult HF..
I like his good cop/bad cop articles
Yeah he's a tw** but no-ones perfect

They must have borrowed the money from somewhere, that has always been the mystery of the deal.

I would love the Taliban to take charge at ER, match made in heaven.

Associating that image with an article on an Islamic business is clear proof you are racist scum.

LOL 1821, you take the award for the most stupid reply ever! Muslims don't eat pigs, but they don't consider them holy. Now if it was a Hindu business and I carried a picture of a dead cow...

Interesting that you call Leeds United an Islamist business however. And just think, a generation ago, going down to the Mecca meant playing bingo for 99% of Leeds fans. How times have changed Up North. Will you all take prayer mats into the ground once the take over has been completed? I can imagine Warnock atop a minaret, wailing the faithful to prayer: "I just need three more players and we could be a real force in this division."

Putting aside the issue of whether this takeover will go through or not those of you that "worry" or "doubt" that this would be a good thing should consider this simple fact. Leeds United will NOT get promoted to the top flight with Ken Bates at the helm and are destined to spend eternity as a mid table second division club selling off any half decent players to far inferior supported clubs like Norwich City. This is not acceptable for any Leeds supporter.

Is it not better to take chance on a bit of "doubt" or "worry"?

Hammersfan, can you please stop these racist, derogatory comments about Asians and Muslims it is getting tiresome now. There's still a few looking for you after the last time by all accounts. You may not like these people but still shouldnt incite this racial hatred.

Hammersfan said...

Looking for me? Are you implying that Muslims are vengeful people 1009? Please desist with these foul slurs. Muslims are, in 99.9% of cases, peace loving, tolerant people. Please do not judge Muslims on the basis of the tiny group of fundamentalist fanatics who, like all fundamentalists of all religions, seek to divide rather than unite the world. You will be blaming al queda for events at Hillsborough next! Show more respect for Islam, if for no other reason than out of respect for your prospective new owners!
