If you thought Ken Bates was bad what about all of these American businessmen,Russian oligarchs and NOW …?
… and ex-Thai prime minister buying our football clubs!
Anyhow Leeds United are "up" to – (minus!) 9 points now – when they get to 0 my boys might stop complaining – except the one who for some inexplicable reason went for Manchester United against all Family tradition – I should have put him up for Adoption because that caused more strife in my home when they were growing up than anything – even Ken Bates!

So how many of these "superstars" are coming to Leeds,"rewster"? (don’t laugh!).
I would rather Vlad The Impaler was in charge than Ken Bates.
its a bit worrying what will happen to all these clubs when these billionaires get bored and decide to sell up. It seems a football club is little more than a toy for the mega rich these days. I think we will see more teams following the fate of leeds in the not too distant future, especially some of the smaller teams like Man City, West ham etc.
As for leeds it makes me laugh every time i see the table. Sorry nothing personal its just amazing how much destruction missing out on the champions league can do to a team.
