Chris miller from Leeds has approached Bates to buy the club,he is from Leeds and has a lot of money! {Ed020's Note -

Unbelievable..... ed have you heard anything? {Ed020's Note - i don't even know who chris miller is!! that was what i was gunna put originally but ah lass distracted me}

Who is chris miller and how do you no this please dont build my hopes up and let me down i hope your right whoever he is got to be better than kb saying that nick gleeson would be better than kb

It doesn't matter how much money chris millers got it matters what bates wants and if thats the price of a top 10 prem league team then theres no1 going to be that daft so leeds will not be sold until we are in prem league

Just googled him he's MD of Leeds commercial suppose it could be true but I formation like that is usually very very guarded, buyouts take a lot of planning one slip of information can halt the whole thing suggest if it is true keep it buttoned so we can get Bates out

Footy manager?

If it helps, the only Chris Miller I know is in the band You me at six, not sure how the Kaiser Chiefs would take it.

I heard this rumour earlier this week from his son Tom who goes to the grammar school at Leeds as he is friends with my son and he says that his dad has the money and the potential to get Leeds back into the top flight!

This is true, Chris Miller is my friends dad and he is very rich. He has started negotiations with Bates and he loves Leeds

I've heard this is true and apparently he's got a guy called Pat Graham coming in as manager. Don't know if he's some relation to George Graham

I am a parking attendant at Elland Road and have just seen a Blue Bentley with the registration 'M1LL3R' pull in to the car park and three guys get out - looks like this Chris Miller is in talks with Bates

Ive just been told by someone I know that goes to Chris millers son's school that Tom ( millers son) has been avoiding any question s about the take pver. Bates out!

Miller in, Bates out!

i think graysons stats are good - BUT he hasnt been around that long really - and this was a tricky period for him off the field and with this group of young men ....this set back for him will be a good lesson. His motivational ability with this set of players died about 6 months ago - the off field issues bled into the club and backroom / office gossip etc and then to cap it his poor handling - heavy handed attack on O briens illness - which goes against any 'Duty of Care' protocol for any employee - this was the final straw for Larry and the players relationship
And very bad for his own confidence when his management of people was obviosusly slipping - stressed and overly criticising players who were NOT playing for him any longer - nor with the motivation or loyalty that Redders is now re injecting into the squad - CONFIDENCE and motivational man management is what makes any employer happy and keen to graft and express themselves or the team - Its early days but well done Redders - this group of players support you and can do very well now belief and enjoyment is back - it gets tricky when the manager has to handle non football issues and negative vibes and group dynamics - and it was always downhill for Larry from the point when he started getting too dictatorial with the players - twitter etc and press statements whilst he was on the back foot due to personal life controversy ...well - good luck Simon Grayson at your next club and lets now fully back Neil Redfearns Leeds MOT
they also know that if warnock comes in after settling his QPR business Redders has to be No 2 - but he may yet make No 1 ?
