Blah blah blah.. Because if we had (ie no challenge to cva) then we would have our league 1 squad pretty much assembled and enjoying their preseason together. You know, getting fit, getting to know you, getting to know all about you.. > > > > > > Funny that this stance which was deemed so selfish, shortsighted, ill > > informed, evil etc at the time is now the conciliatory stance! > > How so? So you still don't think it is time to want to put all this shit behind us and get on with next season and look forward to a proper buyout of the club? Course not.

Actually I think my explanation is entirely feasible. The FL as an entity is pissed off that Bates prodded the HMRC hornet's nest as it gave them the excuse to possibly challenge football's preferential creditor position. Lots of FL chairmen are/were pissed off that we went into admin last season and therefore avoided 10pt deduction this season. Lots of league 1 chairmen will be quite happy to have thousands of Leeds fans boosting their gates next season, but lots of league 1 chairmen will also be quite happy for our preparations for next season to be hampered so we aren't as strong as we ought to have been. But no, Bates bought Leeds with the sole intention of destroying the club.
