Ye gods. On a "damage to Leeds United" scale of 1 to 10, Ridsdale scores 11. Bates hardly gets on the scale. All our problems have been caused by the total incompetence of Ridsdale, Leighton and the rest of the PLC board. IMO receivership for Leeds United was inevitable. It was perhaps a consruct by Bates in order to wipe out long-standing financial commitments (bondholders etc) that are not in the public domain, but are a legacy of the Ridsdale regime and/or attempts to unscramble the mess by the Prof, Krasner et al. This is just a personal theory... I just don't buy the idea that administration was due to Bates' incompetence. (even less do I buy the stupid idea that he has a desire to somehow damage Leeds United). Mark
