    Please let this be true! i have been a Leeds fan all my life and in my honest opinion, Bates has done nothing good for our team! he won't spend, he keeps letting our best players leave, he doesn't renew players' contracts. He shows no ambition for Leeds to succeed whatsoever! We need change! BATES OUT!

      Ken bates made has profited from the Leeds United takeover, yes he did save the club in its time of need but only because it coincided with his own personal interests, he has stabiliesed the club now yes, but is milking the club dry his only goal is to make himself money, the club will never go any further forward with him at the helm.

    I'm pretty sure the MLSE rumour is just that, a rumour. However, there is definitely at least one confirmed takeover bid. http://lufctrust.squarespace.com/blog/
