Leeds United Takeover Drags ON

Reports are emerging that the takeover of Leeds United by a consortium led by Sheikh Abdulrahman bin Mubarak Al-Khalifa will not be completed for a least another 10 to 14 days after the Sheikh representatives requested the period of "due diligence" be extended to allow them to carry out a thorough examination of Leeds United's finance's.Leeds United Chairman Ken Bates has remained virtually silent during this period. It has  been revealed that he had signed a confidentiality agreement with the proposed new owners which prevents him from commenting in public on the takeover.

  1. We just know it ain't gonna happen. I fully expect old Sheikh Yer Money Bates to be back at the helm come August.

  2. Good policy or what. Make public that a moneybags invester is looking to takeover LU to sell more season tickets..............then extend it bt claiming that moneybags wants a few more weeks............then guess what..........as the season kicks off moneybags backs out..............Why does no one want to buy a club with 30000 plus support...........somethings not right.

    No way has Bates spent money on players, why now ? Why not last season ? Or season before

  5. Well in excess of over £1m spent on only a couple of additions, this is not Bates's style. FACT !
    WE HAVE been taken already but the fat lad with the glasses is dragging this out to make sure he rinses every penny he can out of what club there is

  7. NW guarenteed job once takeover is in place by "investors", another company set up in leeds name, 6 new signings with £££££ spent ????
    Come on fellas were not daft, we are leeds united and this is a takeover, theres no more trapdoors or back alleys for KB to bolt to.
    Its as good as a done deal were just washing whats left of him out..................... For good

    1. I agree, i think its not going to be released till NW has all his players in place so the price of players to ER does'nt rise, I already think its a done deal, I hope I'm right.

  8. i really hope thats right but we've been kicked in the bollocks so many times, its very difficult to stop thinking the worst.

  9. I hope that this gets announced soon,its really bugging me. The 1st thing i check when i wake up is on the net/tv so see if there is any developments,but there isn't.

    I think when,and if we do get told,it will happen when we least expect it.

    1. Likewise, im nearly divorced over the fucking saga, its driving me nuts.
      Either they want us or they dont simple as that

    2. Hang in there lads . Remember Bates is main shareholder but no one could really work out who totally owned Leeds ??? If someone is buying Bares out they probably want to be total owners and it's taking time to unravel and nail down other shareholders . Rem what Bates said people are holiday at the olympics there phones are off probably some are on a hiking holiday in Khatmandu ?
      We've waited this long Colin's got Bates to do something poor Larry never could spend money!! Bates had saves us great now he's doing the decent thing and moving aside , we are Leeds !! Since when was anything every easy for us ? Marching on together hang in there lads nearly there believe .

    3. So whats this clown on about deal collapsed ?
      Im sure hes misread that sainsbury deal collapsing, to be hoped so anyway but im sure if it had fallen theu wed of heard summat surely ?

  10. i havent seen a single article in a mainstream daily newspaper about this takeover...bit worrying although the fact that money has been spent on new players and new contracts handed out must mean that something is in place

  11. Bates is a goner, no messing around this time.
    It all adds up that were making fairly big signings (for lufc anyway) which are ALL paid for NOT loaned like the last 7yrs.
    Were also linked with a host of others which need CASH.
    Anyone care to explain where all this coin is coming from because as sure as eggs are eggs IT IS NOT KB !!!!
    This has to be the overseas bahrani.
    If you notice the iLUV logo leeds will be carrying it just so happens this newly erected company is LEEDS UNITED VISION ?
    This isnt a myth it is a public fact.
    LEEDS HAVE BEEN BOUGHT
    Remember this sight and dont say i didnt tell you so when NW smashes open that chest and brings frankly whoever hes after to Elland Rd

  12. Its not the Sheihk (or whatever his name is) its Revie's son, he has a successful and massive business in the Middle East. He has put together a few friends but its all in the balance because some of the money doesn't add up. Also the would be new owners want TA & Elland Road and do not wish to lease like it is now and are negotiating the sale. We have to pray they can pull it off otherwise we are back to square 1 = KB. Lethope things happen sooner rather than later because everything is agreed with KB its just TA & Elland Road which is the sticking point.

    1. Nonsense my friend, duncan revie has already confirmed rumours about him fronting a lufc buyout are "totally untrue".
      Stop talking rubbish, its the bahrain royal family after failing 1st time around in 2003

  13. It's not the Bahrain family either I think we will all be in for a shock.

  14. Ha ha love it we dont share the same wife do we ?
    Theres nobody else interested in leeds united bar the bahrain OR NOT THAT WERE AWARE OF anyhow

  15. Dont think I can take much more of this. New Season now only a couple of weeks away and all this uncertainty not helping NW the players not to mention the fans. Then again the fans dont count in the kingdom of KB

  16. This is all jus a cover up, we are never gettin taken over nor were we ever, somethings amiss at elland rd and im avin a case of dejavu.
    Nothing makes sense, we all need to wake up and stamp our mark on our club, boycott the bastards, were on the titanic

  23. After days of research and constantly on links ive managed to find out that LUST have claimed its a done deal were waiting on signatures, why i dont know and that adam pope has claimed the buyers are an offshore bank.
    So fuck all you lot criticising lufc the takeovers done and dusted pretty much and now watch the signings

  24. To the guy who said Friday 3rd August at 1pm.
    That's really spooky as I was told by a guy at work a fortnight ago exactly the same date and exactly the same time.I hope Its before then as this is painful now.
