Why is the Bahrain based company interested in the club? No mention of a great heritage, the trumpet call of all Leeds fans, instead the key factors cited are the fan base and the fact that Leeds are debt free. (Please note, it seems like this is a commercial venture, not a Manchester City style spendfest.)
Now Bates may have done his best to undermine that fan base during his time at the helm, but it was his very careful stewardship which has put the club's finances in order. The decision to go into administration and take the points deduction was controversial - and represented cheating in some people's eyes - but a new Leeds rose, phoenix like, from the ashes of the Ridsdale era and, whilst the wilderness years have been agony for the fans, the now very real prospect of a return to the Premiership Promised Land should be compensation enough. A financially bouyant club stands a much better chance of flourishing in the top division than a club struggling to service debts.
Of course, there's many a slip between hand and mouth, so the deal may yet flounder but that seems unlikely. And if it goes through, LUST and all the critics of Bates should order a large slice of humble pie. Chelsea fans hated him but look at where Chelsea are now. Maybe, just maybe, Bates has worked his magic and pulled another rabbit from the hat!

Rip John Bond and could you pass on a message to hfs dad? He's scattered over the carpark in Lyme Regis and it's a bit windy. He's blowing into everyones chips.
Tinge of jealousy or bitterness in this one?,we don't want a man city style spending spree.although it would be nice!!.its just to get rid of bates and to wipe that smirk from your claret and blue face.how do them apples taste?
John Bond passes on and hf is still alive and talking the usual misinformed drivel. There is no god.
I've never known anyone change their tune as many times as you!
Once again more rubbish about Leeds United.
Just the same 4 words to saay to this numpty :-
HAMMERS ONE WIGAN FOUR
So Hammersfan,as a long term believer that the takeover would never happen, this is now your opportunity to apologise to all the Leeds fans for you months and months of spreading doubt and taunts towards this great club.
Kindly attend to this detail.

Excellent comment if the deal goes through. Much as I was never a fan of Bates I was also never blinkered by the hate the LUST lot had for him, not to realise some of the positive aspects Bates introduced to the running of Leeds United. No doubt you'll get a lot of negative offensive comment from the Bates out brigade for this article. Most of them don't even go to watch Leeds!
You can't help yourself can you. There must be a tumour looking for a host. Let's just hope your dad's passed it on. Wanker.

Who gives a shit so long as he's gone and we (Leeds United) get investment.
Deal with it and move on lad.
You're really sounding deseperate now.
There was a young man from Leeds who swallowed a packet of seeds out of his arse grew a tuft of grass and out of his balls grew weeds!You are Weeds you are Weeds you are Weeds,we all bloody hate Leeds,flat caps,mushy peas,norvern monkies,Whippets councils houses silly little plastic tagged numbers on your socks,pure innovation,Dave Webb scores the winner to win the 1970 FA cup replay,Sunderland done ya in 1973 Up the Hammers!
Like a moth to a flame !
Cannot leave Leeds alone so it must be fascinating.
Without Bates we will be punching our weight !
Scary thought for the little clubs out there.Nice thought that West Ham will be playing in the Paralympic stadium in front of 12.000 next year.
Pure incitement. You have a screw loose and deserve every insult you get. What a piece of shit you are.
Tell me about it,i've just had my car valeted too. Thought it was some taxi driver empying his ashtray.
why don't you stick to writing articles about your own team instead of concentrating on Leeds United?
How did West Ham get on in the cup while we were beating Everton?
Why don't you go into the parking space next to your father? Arsehole
egg on the face time for you pal. all the bulls--t you have spouted in the past' what goes around comes around.
Nob
This guy is a tw@t.
Leeds Utd rule.
But drop the dead dad, cancer posts, they are beneath us. Show some class (as Leeds did on Tuesday night whilst West Ham were getting their arses kicked)
who cares what happens when club get taken over i would sooner be in league 1 without bates than were we are now withhim for first time in 45 years im loosing my mojo to go to matches my mate has missed last 2 matches because of it
No wonder your support is shite like your team if 10.20 is the best you can do. There's the poster boy for w,ham. Ha ha,what a knob.
Clive Sanderson,i bet you don't go to Leeds more likely. If you did you certainly wouldn't be welcome. "bates out brigade"? How Daily Mail.Isn't it strange how these comments of support for hf and bates keep appearing? Only dickheads like you could defend the indefensible.
i thought you would leave it a few days before you piped up as you got a spanking by wigan that gifted you a goal. You do not have a danny stick to writing about your poxy club you MORON
But you never done us u sovern gimp .now jog on twat face .
Aah,what a shame. Hf is trying to piss on our parade because his shitty little club is going nowhere but down. Still bitter about tuesday night are we? I see this post has already been relegated to page 2 of News Now. Ha ha. Are you frantically thinking up the next one now? Water off a ducks back now as everyones attention has been diverted.
Your jealousy is actually quite pathetic for a man your age, HF.
Never mind 1020, I'm sure it will happen for West Ham one day.
What a vile turd you are hf. Hows your dad "Dusty"?
Once again Hammersfan attempts to antagonise the supporters of Leeds United. These aren't the views of you or anyone else for that matter with even the slightest bit of knowledge of what has happened at ER over the last 18 months. I really can't understand what you get out of this. I've just been reading the comments from this and the other blogs imagining they were directed at me and honestly don't get it? Funny I was actually at the Forest game with a West Ham fan last Saturday and mentioned you to him. He said he thought you were an absolute penis as did all the other West Ham fans he knew who had heard of you. To your credit I actually thought that was a bit harsh. You're still a loser though.
All gone quiet now you boring cockney prick we'll soon be passing you southern wankers....toodle oooo dick head
1829, you don't get it do you? A random Leeds and West Ham fan get into conversation and you end up talking about me. If I am sad, what does that say about you guys?
Do you think I would talk about you with a friend? How could I? You are anonymous. And anonymous probably sums up your life.
Here I am in Bucharest in 32 degrees C, living a dream, and there you are in Leeds, experiencing Noah's flood, and you end up talking about this strange "guy" known as hammersfan. Can't you see how you are under the TGGC spell? I pull a string and you dance to my tune!
Why do you think I operate under the name of Scott Tracey? And some of your idiot mates actually think I was named after a Thunderbirds puppet. You and the likes of Leeds Mick are the real puppets. Hang on, I've just twitched a string, can you feel you joints moving to my prompting?
You have to laugh. My Dad is still alive and kicking but you morons think he is spread across Lyme Regis car park. You think your cancer jibes hurt. Oh dear. How stupid are you?
To tell the truth, I am 31, female and happily married to a Tottenham fan. He hates my blog but loves the way I reel you Northern morons in.
Lots of kisses.
Tracy.
A good result in the league cup and Leeds fans are absolutely over the moon! Shows how depressing life must be for you lot. Most of you have shown yourselves to be the vile scum we already knew you were, resorting to disrespecting the dead and joking about cancer. Karma comes around and when cancer catches up with you or a loved one, think back to what you've said here and let's see if you still think it's funny
You're right Tracy, I clearly don't get it but thank you for making my point.
Lets face it you know fu*k all about being a REAL Leeds supporter and never will do.
You have pretended to have some kind of affinity with us, but in truth you are just a sad west pam supporter who has nothing to believe in, no real history, no glory years, nothing.
Only claim to fame being a few of your players in the England squad who won the world cuo, but unfortunately even that doesn't appear on your clubs 'honour' liat?
Basically, once the take over happens, we will be stepping up a gear, and doing it on our own ability, rather than relying on parachute payments like your club does.
So, why don't you finally do one, and go and pester someone who actually gives a shit?
"Here I am in Bucharest in 32 degrees C, living a dream, and there you are in Leeds, experiencing Noah's flood, and you end up talking about this strange "guy" known as hammersfan. Can't you see how you are under the TGGC spell? I pull a string and you dance to my tune!"
Au contraire you prat! You are 'living a dream' so you obviously hate England and you can't watch your own team?
That would be a nightmare for me.
What you don't seem to realise is that WE have YOU dangling on a string?
At any time we can walk away from your inane ramblings, unfortunately you have so little of a life that YOU HAVE TO keep coming back for more!
Prove me wrong, go do one?
Ain't ever going to happen because you KNOW we have more to offer than your shite club!
So don't accuse us of being reeled in, if it weren't for Leeds you wouldn't have a f#***ing site here?
And Bucharest? What sort of real ale can you get out there then? I'd prefer to be in Ipswich and that's saying something!
You stay there as long as you like, while we enjoy our country, our beer, and OUR team...
You can't suppport wet spam and you prefer not to be in England - says it all really doesn't it!
Sad twat aren't you.....
"Here I am in Bucharest in 32 degrees C, living a dream, and there you are in Leeds"
Quite frankly I'd rather be anywhere in England at any temperature below zero than in Bucharest, but then if you live in the arse end of London anything is a blessing?
You enjoy yourself out there, I am sure the few other wet spam supporters that do visit your sita are pleased to see the back of yout oo?
How much will it take to keep you out there?
Personally I'd rather be in Leeds and watch my team play, but what would you know about that....
Yawn .
I haven't commented in a while but just wanted to reassure all my fans (especially the homo-erotically aroused Mick) that I continue to look in most days, continue to love the work of HF, continue to laugh out loud at the stupidity of most of the alleged Leeds fans who respond to HFs taunts and continue to believe that his is one of the most original and thought provoking blogs on the internet. God bless you, sir.
Hammersfan, that was a good old rant! Bet you feel pleased to have got that off your chest! Probably hasn't felt this good since your last bowel movement!
The point, Mr Puppetmaster, which you have always failed to answer is 'why do you do it?'..It's easy to wind up a set of fans and it's easy to gloat about being so clever in doing it, it just doesn't add up as to why you take such delight in it? I've thought about this and wondered if it's a Warnock thing or a Leeds thing or just boredom in your 32 deree eastern block life. In the end I have concluded that I think your just a bit of a child.
Hey Headmaster,We're told that it's 32 degrees in Bucharest. Probably for you it would be at least 37 or 38 degrees what with your head being so far up Hammerfan's backside.
Female living in Bucharest my arse! You're an acne covered student in Debden you lying twat!
As for you Headmaster, your screen name tells me all I need to know about you lad!
Original and thought provoking? so success is determined by the number of idiots or "puppets" who respond to your insults, then? What about Dagenham Dave arguably the biggest idiot of the lot yet look at the number of "hits" he gets. Is he a puppetmaster too? A genius perhaps? Or maybe just an ironic alter ego you created?
I could wind these idiots up all day if I wanted to and get far more "hits" than you. I could probably take over this whole site (I've already taken several of your blogs believe me).
For what its worth I think your dad did die of cancer and am genuinely sorry about that. I also think you would do anything to protect your son like any father would. I also think the cancer jibes did affect you at first but like any other intelligent human being can now see them for what they are (pathetic as you say). I also dont think you know enough about football to write a blog on it. Your're no puppetmaster though I'm afraid.
20 idiots dancing to your tune whilst you're living the dream in Bucharest. Tell me, where in the A to Z of celebrity lists does that put you (not a serious question btw)?
God you're such a loser it's actually cringy even writing this. What's pathetic is your only comeback will be, well you're commenting on this site so you must be a bigger loser than me. A case in point perhaps? Good old Hammersfan, one notch above the 20 idiots in their northern council flats. Even more pathetic is these 20 idiots know more about football than you.
