But's he's spending the money on 'ground improvements' though isn't he? On a ground he may or may not own. I've not been to Billy's bar, but I'd rather have a England U21 Centre half. I'd rather not have a hotel be built where the club shop is, I'd rather have a decent left back.
I'm not denying that we've been ripped off in the past - but I feel that the very best you can say about Bates is that he may be 'less worse' than the previous shower and that is hardly a glowing defence is it? His record at Chelsea (by all accounts saved by Roman's cash) seems to suggest that he makes money regardless of what ever mess he leaves behind. Is that the sort of person who should be running the club? As for Bate's not taking money from LUFC well we won't know will we? Because we'll never see the accounts while he's in charge. As for the sale of Kilgannon - well given the quality of the incoming players (at the present - I wait to be pleasanty surprised before the transfer window shuts) I think it's a joke. The only way for Leeds to make money is to have a good team and fill the bloody ground, while avoiding the temptation to act like Peter Ridsdale again. Anyway, that's my tuesday morning moan over with. Back to lurkdom.
