According to Leeds United Chairman Ken Bates the much vaunted takeover of the club is still ongoing and progressing slowly.Bates this evening said: "Despite the confidentiality agreement, stories keep appearing with varying degrees of accuracy as evidenced by the statements put out by LUST (Leeds United Supporters Trust)."That included a TV interview that said a deal was 'imminent'. It wasn't then and is progressing slowly now. In football everybody expects everything now - but the real world is different."Writing in the club programme ahead of tonight's clash with Hull, Bates added: "The current situation is that as I write, the appropriate documents have not been finalised between the lawyers."
GFH Capital, who are working on the deal on behalf of a Middle Eastern consortium, have sent representatives to one of United's games this season but have not made any comment on the nature of the talks.
