One of the problems with the LUST statement about spending more on the team, is that it is easier said than done. It's not like a manufacturing company buying new machinery to increase productivity. If I owned the club, (I wish!), I would spend very conservatively on the team, hoping that I ha

That's the irony. Thrift is in every Leeds fan's blood, but they want their club to behave in direct opposition to their own instincts -- and this is despite us still suffering from the legacy of the last chairman who did exactly that. Nigel. On 14 September 2012 11:58, dave walmsley wrote: >

Dave, There's a difference between (a) not spending money you haven't got, which is prudent and/or "cautious," and (b) not spending the money you HAVE got. Add up the money we've taken in for players under the Bates regime (think especially of the cash for Delph, Schmeichel, Johnson, Snodgra

Goodness me, common sense on the list! The numbers seem to add up, given the constraints of having Bates in charge. 50% of t/o on player wages, yet only 3% return. LUST proposes upping spending to 60% - which would push us into losses. Not seeing any practical ways to improve things here. I

Maybe only 3% return cos he spent all the money on litigation, boxes and lining his own pockets? From: "markbu...@aol.com" To: ni...@mindbrix.co.uk; dwalms...@netmonkeys.co.uk Cc: leedslist@gn.apc.org Sent: Friday, September 14, 2012 1:50 PM Subject: Re: [L

How much money has Bates personally taken out of the club? Do you know? Boxes bring in good revenue. The ground is being refurbed with borrowed money - money that could not be borrowed to spend on players. Can't argue with the litigation - but even if you halved that, it'd not make that b
