I said maximise.

Where's your proof? No I am not. I have told you lot before, I am not necessarily PRO bates. You lot are anti Bates and seem to subscribe to the 'anyone but Bates' argument. I came to this conclusion because of the constant negative postings about Bates (and his associates) and opposed to any positive postings about any other fucker interested. > > I don't see any reason for the continued sniping, apart from personal > > bitterness, which is fine, just say it instead of making out > > this episode is > > the end of Leeds United or the worst thing that has happened > > to us over the > > last 10 years or whatever. > > > > For one who claims all that matters is the football team, I find it > hard to > stomach that you don't believe that relegation to England's third tier > is > NOT the worst thing to happen to LUFC EVER! It is the worst thing on the pitch that has happened. But it has happened. All I want now is for us to get promoted. To move forward. I think Wise & Poyet can get us up. If there was another potential owner who I thought would do better than Bates and support the existing management, AND getting them in wouldnt cause massive disruptions then I would support them, but I havent seen anything of the sort and none of you lot has even mentioned that aspect. You all keep going on about whether Bates saved the club, whether he needed to go into admin, whether he had anything to do with Astor blah blah blah. Its History. If someone wants to buy the club they can. So Paul, what is your main beef with Bates that makes you want to chuck the club back into admin again? Do you think we will keep Derry? Do you think we will keep Cresswell? Do you think a full preseason is important for Wise & Poyet? _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
