Note the words "wasn't it". It doesn't really matter if it was 20% or 40% or 80%, Im pretty fucking sure he was willing to pay more to the creditors simply to sway their voting and get his hands on the land.
And it is also worth noting that Bates' offer also included a further amount based on future success (getting into the prem within 5 years I believe, which I would like to think isn't such a pipe dream). Bates didn't offer more to the creditors because he didn't have to, to secure the necessary votes. Morris on the other hand did. I am sure Morris would rather that money stayed in his pocket. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nigel Holcroft Sent: 14 June 2007 17:55 To: 'LUList' Subject: Re: [LU] The inevitable does happen -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Humphries Sent: Thursday, June 14, 2007 5:49 AM The best offer was 10% wasnt it, from Morris who had pound signs in his eyes with his #400m redevelopment plan.. ------------------------------------------------ Another misrepresentation, of fact misused to support an erroneous and biased opinion. At risk of being labeled, yet again as a Morris supporter, which I'm not; I believe the record shows, his offer to be 20% at the time of purchase and a further 20% based on future success. That would be in addition to the $10 million to buy the club in the first place. Most would agree that to be a, substantially better offer than the one accepted... but why let facts stand in the way of a biased opinion eh... So let's take the sensible compromise, so as not to get involved in yet another long debate and say, Yeah, you're obviously right, no offer was any better than Bates'..... _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
