£80m for Leeds - Cheap at that price!

When you consider that Sullivan and Gold paid £50m for a share of West Ham, taking on huge debts in the process, Leeds United must surely be a snip at £80m. Look at what you would get for your money!

A tenancy on a stadium and on a training ground. No real estate or land as such but hell, who cares about actual assets, it's all about brand rights isn't it? And there are Yorkshire men out there to milk!

A great history. True the present aint so clever and the future looks a tad dodgy, but never mind all that. As Freud said, "Only a good for nothing is not interested in his past" or as Worden asked, "What should they know of the present who only the present know?" The trophy cabinet may be empty at the moment but the dust rings still show where the trophies once stood.

A squad of players whose combined worth could be anything up to £15m.

Looked at like that, £80m may seem toppy, but if the new owners were to sink somewhere between £50m and £80m in the squad, then promotion to the Prem would be as good as guaranteed and then there may be no stopping the Whites Machine, providing Warnock is no longer the manager because we all know about his record in the top division.

It makes you wonder why LUST are buggering around proposing Club 9 Sports, an outfit that has previously expressed interest in Tranmere Rovers and Sheffield Wednesday.  Don't they understand what the club is really worth? The big question is who, in his right mind, would pass on the opportunity to snap up such a bargain?

In fact you have to wonder why Sullivan and Gold committed to West Ham when they could have had Leeds! Unless, of course, they were attracted to the possibility of redeveloping the Boleyn!
