Why is yet another of our takeovers taking so long - yet again another season has gone to waste - another season where we fall further and further behind the yo-yo teams of the Premiership and so far behind the top teams that it is impossible to even dream that we may catch up with them in my lifetime To even compete with Man City etc we would need to buy 22 players who would cost £20m each to buy on average and then another £7.5m each in wages pa (at £250k a week)
So that is a total of £550 million pounds which we would need to find to buy and pay the players for a year - something that will just NEVER happen unless the new financial fair play things really work or football implodes (which may happen if Rooney becomes the benchmark wage) or we get some oil rich benefactor who wants us as his toy This is the latest from the Football League - it begs the question "why have we not given them what they need" coupled with "have they done this with other owners buying other teams" and "has Cellino not got the money etc" Whatever it is not looking good FL "The Football League remains in discussions with both the owners and proposed purchasers of Leeds United. To date, a significant amount of the requested information has been supplied by GFH and Eleonora Sport. "But there are still a number of outstanding matters that will require further submissions from the two parties. The Board of The Football League is scheduled to meet on March 13 where it will receive an update on the matter from the League’s executive unless all the remaining issues can be resolved satisfactorily in advance of this date.” dave _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email leedslist-unsubscr...@gn.apc.org John 'Grampa' Sykes Rest In Peace old lad 28th Oct 1938 - 12 Nov 2013 MARCHING ON TOGETHER
