Sort of agree Pete, but there is a real feeling around that Leeds United, not just Bates have 'cheated' their way into Administration (no 10 point deduction that matters), and out of it again (wiped off all the debts). As we know football fans have long and sometimes irrational memories. So do Taxmen, and I expect any ordinary blokes who have suffered Financial hardship because of this will remember it for a while too. So I don't think bates leaving will wipe the slate clean, as far as those people are concerned.

On a longer term . futuristic view, surely we cant expect Uncle ken to hang around for years and years Id suggest, with absolutely no evidence to back it up, that bates is here for a short time only - We are better financially than we were (surely this is undisputable??!!). and he will be looking to maximise his reurn when its viable for him to do so yes folks have been hurt and some will be looking to put one up/over him, but Id be very surprised if he was here this time next year Pete C ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lewis, KM (Kevin)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> So whilst, on one hand this is the best financial deal in the short-term for the club, and in terms of getting things sorted for the coming season; the club may have made enemies that will all be looking to get even in the future.
