The 'abysmal mess we're in' (We're not in a mess - he is!) is surely caused by the mismanagement of the current regime, LUFC agreed to pay HMRC £500K a month under the kransortium which for a club turning over £30M is hardly earth shattering. Bates knew this over 2 years ago as the need to pay them was the catalyst for his 'takeover'. For over 2 years he has made the payments as required. Yet the alleged business genius that is Ken Bates decided in April that he would stop making these payments as he had a more pressing need for these funds. He will have fully understood the consequences of this action, HMRC don't issue winding-up orders at the drop of a hat and will have issued warnings and default notices. Ignoring these 'reminders' is IMHO gross financial mismanagement and you seem to suggest that such mismanagement ought to be rewarded with debt free ownership of our once great club. Furthermore one has to laugh at the 'mysterious plans of LUST' jibe, I assume from this comment that you are fully conversed in the plans of Morris, Revie and/or Bates. If so please feel free to share them with the list. It seems a tad paradoxical that following being dismissed as amateurs for not signing a non disclosure agreement that they had indeed signed they are now being dismissed for not breaking the aforementioned NDA. What do YOU know about the members of the LUST board that you can dismiss them so easily as 'wastes of space'? If Peter Wilkinson was to trek down the M62 to save us would you dismiss him in a similar fashion? He is after all a Leeds fan and thus by your definition an amateur.
