That is not the point either I was making and to that matter, Harvey was making. I have two main points, first that any challenge now is going to be VERY damaging to our prospects this season at least, and potentially the actual future of the club itself. Second point is, given the first point, why would Leeds supporters want or encourage this? It baffles me. Further to that, Harvey was of course saying that everything was above-board and KPMG did their job etc. He also (rightly) states that the only course for legal challenge to the takeover is on procedural grounds, so it doesn't matter who owns the offshore companies etc in that respect, as long as KPMG did their job. If Bates or anyone else did something illegal, then that will have nothing to do with the takeover. That would be the subject of future sanctions/court proceedings. _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
