What else do you call not paying ANY bills for 2 months? Astute financial acumen? > > Stop dwelling on what's happened and focus on taking us forwards. And Bates will do that?

Just who is this mythical tax man? Oh yeah, it's you, me and the rest of the country - I have to pay tax, you have to pay tax, why doesn't Leeds United have to hand over the tax it collects? > > Unfortunately some small suppliers will lose some money. > Tough.

If theft is acceptable in the name of Leeds United then one wonders where you draw the line. Is murder ok in the name of leeds united? If it's ok for Ken to rob someone of his livelihood so that Ken can make a few million pounds it must similarly be ok for Ken to rob someone of his life so that Ken can make a few million pounds. By your reckoning then, the London bombings would have been ok if they'd been done by Ken Bates in the name of leeds united rather than some muslim fundamentalists in the name of Allah! If Leeds United is SO important to you that nothing else matters - like the lives of other people - why don't you live in Leeds and go to every game? > > > >>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.

When did Bates tell you his plans? Did you KNOW he planned to go into administration this summer in an attempt to defraud the country and the community? You could have told Boo's Disco - poor b*stard is in a right mess - he could lose his house if all he gets is £265 for 2 months work. > > I have an idea of what Bates is planning, based on him > repeating the formula > used at Chelsea. Chelsea was a fluke, check out Oldham and Wigan for a more balanced picture. Stop dwelling on the past and concentrate on the present - I'd rather judge Bates on what he's done for us so far. Judging by his record with us, he's got us relegated and into administration - where's his next move gonna take us?

I thought that Leeds United was your number one priority not your desire to know what everyones plans are. Strange how you have different criteria for LUST and Bates - you appear to trust Bates more than LUST, why? Have you actually read www.lufctrust.org? Why not join? It's only a fiver - I'm sure you can afford it. You can then have your say in this democratic and accountable organisation. > > >>If Peter Wilkinson was to trek down the M62 to save us > would you dismiss > him > in a similar fashion?<< > > > Another mythical figure. Is he in the car park with his > cheque book too? ;-) Is that mythical like Ken Bates' cheque book - or is Ken's cheque book locked up in Monaco? Nothing mythical about about Peter Wilkinson however - owner of Hull City and former gold member at Elland Road with the halfway line box. At least he's paid for a ticket at ER which is more than cuddly Ken has EVER paid into the coffers. If you don't know who he is yourself you'd perhaps be as well to look him up rather than be quite so insulting. > > I'll take him seriously once he steps forward with a plan. But you'll take Bates seriously without a plan?
