You opt to compare us to Doncaster Rovers in order to make your points. I ask you to consider Barcelona. Why am I being unfair ? Is the fact that Barcelona is one of the biggest clubs in the world less relevant than them not playing in the English Premiership ? Do you feel that they would not compete, and if they would then surely that is all that is relevant. Why do we have to follow your example of Doncaster Rovers any more than my example of Barcelona ? Imagine what you would have said to Don Revie when he said that we were changing to an all white strip because he wanted this club to be like Real Madrid. Can't we play in all white and be like Barcelona ? Why not ? If Bates can say that he wants investors and not owners (without your turning so much as a hair it seems) why can't others say the same ? What is the difference ? _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
