If you never thought Abbott & Costello weren't very funny, then you
couldn't be a Leeds United supporter.....what's being going on in the
last seven, eight or nine years, has been the joke of the century. A &
C were my favourites.....Bates has not been!

Ken's "owned" Leeds United for over 7 years now, and that's plenty of time
for his tendrils of complexity to get everywhere and very twisty turny.
Proper Due Diligence might well need another 7 years to unravel it all.
I read today that "the consortium are believed to be looking for full
ownership of Leeds, purchasing all of the 72.85 per cent stake held by
existing owner Ken Bates, and it is anticipated that their proposal would
see Bates sever his ties with United after seven-and-a-half years as
chairman."
I guess that If they want Ken to sever all ties, they don't want him to be
sneakily still owning something after the deal is done... say for example,
the ground.
So who owns the ground?
That question, phrased that why, just seems to plant visions of Abbott &
Costello in my head.
Due Diligence Committee: Well then who owns the ground?
Ken Bates: Yes.
DDC: I mean the fellow's name.
KB: Hu.
DDC: The owner of the ground.
KB: Hu.
DDC: The ground owner.
KB: Hu.
DDC: The person owning...
KB: Hu owns the ground!
DDC: I'm asking YOU who owns the ground.
KB: That's the man's name.
DDC: That's who's name?
KB: Yes.
DDC: Well go ahead and tell me.
KB: That's it.
DDC: That's who?
KB: Yes.
PAUSE
I never thought Abbott & Costello were very funny.

If I'd really put a proper effort into this email, I'd have had HU or WHO
being the initials for some shady Bates Ground Owning Company.
Couldn't think of anything though.

Ramadan, shmadadan. More Bates bullshit. No doubt he fed the story to a
friendly journalist then retired to his Monaco apartment to have a good
laugh at the gullible suckers.
