I really can't believe this. In what way was Bates' offer best for the club? KPMG must, surely, be bent. There's no other explanation. As for me, unless or until Bates sells to someone reasonable/dies/is forced out by Redbus somehow appealing I'm off. I know my attitude was exactly the same as those expressed above last time it looked like we were stuck with Bates but it just adds up. I saw nearly every games since Cyprus last year (couldn't go before, family reasons) and it'll be very strange not spending half-to-all my Saturdays on the club but I have really just had enough of it. More clubs will go our way in the next few years, maybe then football will regulate itself properly or be so regulated by government (actually I think the latter will happen, but not soon enough for me). It isn't a clean slate, Bates, because you've obviously made a complete mess of the books and monies. Probably when you die it will take forever to sort out. There'll be no property deals while you're there so at least this won't kill the club - there'll be no Chelsea Village 2. But I'm not hanging around to wait. I'll be back when you go. My consolation is that you'll die soon - and I really, really hope that it's a lingering, dirty, humiliating, undignified and painful end, only excelled by something even more horrible happening to Leighton and Ridsdale.
