Leeds Rumours Archive September 18 2012

BBC Leeds reporter Adam Pope states, "#lufc Been told Bates is due in Leeds tomorrow.Programme notes mention documents need finalising between lawyers re the deal with investors."

Bates skipped the game tonight, maybe he didn't fancy the 1000+ fans outside the East Stand protesting or maybe even he couldn't take yet another midweek defeat. It's not like Bates could do anything about the squads capability of handling Tursdays with a squad large enough to handle it is it?

On a plus side lets just hope he's in Leeds tomorrow to finally sign the deal a sod off into the Sun Set

We can all hope

Or maybe he just did not give a feck

Bates always flies in wednesday and flies back saturday this counts as 2 days. dont forget he is a tax exile.

Bates was due to attend last nights game however. So something changed, either he didn't fancy the protest or he thought he'd give it a miss as he doesn't actually support Leeds United, and with a sale imminent why would he bother?

He is taking the mick out of us, things are moving slowly. how much slower can they go? also its all about investment in his notes, not take over so those wanting completely rid of him could be very upset.

The takeover talks still ongoing . Warnock said this in his interview on Yorkshire radio. He said loan moves possible and with Becchio injured now as well as McCormack we need some bodies before Saturday. Down to the bare bones again.

18 Sep 2012 21:48:20
Our forwards dropping like flies. Looks like Becchio will miss some games. Dip into the loan market imperative now

Andy Gray and Dom Poleon might be reliable enough, for the weekend, but we need some in soon.

I think you will find that we now revert to 1 up front and then an extra man either in midfield or defense . personally i would add an extra defender and play wing backs byram and white play 3 central midfielders - varney ,austin and tonge with diouf just behind poleon . could do with takeover finishing before end of month as we have our easiest run coming up .

18 Sep 2012 21:24:00
Sounds like another injury to leeds collection on Becchio, poleon sounded lively.
Leeds are in big trouble unless we sign players SHARPISH !

Why are all our players getting injured {Ed013's Note - Sods Law!}

The slippery slope is upon us - need some strength in depth as the squad is still not good enough.

take over will happen its just going to take longer than expected, fans who are not going to games over this are pathetic leeds fans, i will attend every game i can to and get behind NW and the team

Try not to have a go at those who, for all the right reasons, have chosen to boycott ER. I have taken this course of action however i always make a point of respecting the decisions of my brothers (and sisters) in arms who elect to goto ER and support the team. My grievance is not with you but with the bearded scrotum we all know and hate. Best of luck to you!
LLHB MOT

Calling leeds fans pathetic for staying away yet you wrote this comment at 8.01pm so you obviously wasnt at the game yourself.... pot, kettle, black comes to mind

Not as pathetic as you pretending to be at games, or did u post this 16 minutes in from the North Stand..... You can access this site on your mobile}

I doubt he was at the game it would take longer than 16 minutes to connect to the internet seeing as the signal is garbage in there ;) {Ed013's Note - Haha fair point mate although I manage to tweet better when I take my son in the East Stand, but its harder to when in the Kop}

You must have money to burn pal. I wouldn't go even if i was bought a ticket, thats how i feel.
BATES OUT NOW!! OR WE ARE F++KED!!

He never said he was at the game, he said he goes to as many games as he can. n i fully back him when he says " pathetic leeds fans" as some really are as boycoting the game will make no difference in anyway just u sat at home thinking ken will miss out on your money when 99% of fans actually go a support leeds whist the sad pathetic 1% think the world stans still if u boycott the game lol leeds could b in league 2 n id still b there supporting them

You say 99% go support leeds... i was at the game tonight as im a season ticket holder but you clearly wasnt if you think 99% of fans were there.
i didnt hear them announce the crowd figures but there was a loads of empty seats.. id say alot more than 1% are staying away.
i myself will go till the end of the season and not renew my season ticket while bates is there and i wont spend a penny whilst there and this is the 1st season i wont be buying the kits either untill that leech has left our club

I was at the game & the gate was announced towards the end of the match 19,000 and some (forgot the actual figure) but definitely not even 20,000. So fans are clearly voting with their feet which is their perogative. Will be reluctantly joining them shortly if KB is'nt gone soon. Can't bear to watch the disintegration for much longer. No depth and suffering already due to injurys.

Lets have the takeover/investment sorted to enable Warnock to put the icing on the cake before it's too late for this season, if it isn't already as most decent available players have gone elsewhere.

As will all true Leeds fans. To stop going doesn't hurt Bates it just hurts the team and the club.

18 Sep 2012 18:56:42
here comes another dreaded mid-week fixture! lets hope its not another disappointment MOT {Ed020's Note - its not gunna be!!! M.O.T}

1-3 I think it is!! Time for change..... Bates out now before this season becomes even worse!

18 Sep 2012 18:45:08
Andrew Haigh tweeted prog notes from Bates. Investment progressing slowly. Apprpriate paperwork not been finalised by lawyers.

Think he has also claimed or hinted statements from LUST have been inaccurate.

Andrew haigh is a reporter from the Sun, he know as much as us. did you mean david haigh GFH capital ? if so he hasnt tweeted any thing and he is the man in the know

18 Sep 2012 18:38:39
All this "TAKEOVER IS TODAY HEARD FROM ER OR TA OR RELIABLE SOURCE INVOLVED WITH CLUB" is literally rubbish(ed censorship ;) )
Ive just read elsewhere a small paragraph of kens programme notes ahead of tonights Hull visit that the talks are still ongoing at a slow pace and that the paperwork hasn't been agreed between lawyers.
Reading along those lines my guess is, any day now were done with him.
If its now down to the lawyers Ken would said by now deal was off would he not ?
Done deal boys just signatures required, when ?
I have no idea but i'm pretty certain he's a goner.
Time to move on boys, roll on january, he we come premiership !!
Mighty Whites Fan {

Looks pretty convincing to me ed, thoughts ?
Weallloveleeds {Ed020's Note - looks like a case of "when" instead of "if" looks good tho.}

Documents with lawayers and await final signature ?... The fact that they havent been signed is a note of caution in that any unhappy party would negotiate any issue to satisfactory conclusion before signing off. This is not a definitive WILL BE SIGNED but KB using this statement to avoid any harrassment and putting onus onto potential buyers. In his eyes its their fault if the deal isnt signed. If the deals not favourable I wouldnt sign it off would you ?

It's going to happen just a matter of time.

Neil Warnock has ruled out a move for Belgium winger Anthony Vanden Borre as he needs to spend any funds on a new loan striker. YORKSHIRE EVENING POST {Ed013's Note - Shame, good player}

big news just come from thorpe arch and eland road is bates signs the deal and the takeover completeted david haigh from dubai is the new owner he at tonights game with salem petel and a shieke who works with them ken finds his pen to sign also heard they after beckford as david haigh is very keen on beckford from his days at leeds source i work at thope arch and ellend road {Ed013's Note - Really}

I know you don't usually put on comments about spelling but if this one is so sure, how many ways do they want to spell the name of the road on which they work but still not get it right? Loses all credibility doesn't it.

And yet you can spell Elland Road? Priceless.

I'll say the same to u as i have everyone else, you know nothing

Nearly right. Bates is in country and will sign paperwork tomorrow. The new owner is not as reported above as he is 'facilitator'. Good news expected tomorrow.

Yep and instead of breaking the news to the whole world by tv they left it to you on here.

And is that the thope near thorpe arch on the way to ellend road? ya muppet!! if your going to make things up make it look credible,we are not man utd or millwall fans you know!! just gotta love ya!! lol

U forgot FACT!!

Leeds utd and foxes r intrested in bringing kenwyn jones in on loan from stoke. Before sum1 says, with what money ? Its not my story its daily snail

With what money?

Big news to be announced at the hull game tonight!! I think all you Leeds fans are going to be excited!

I doubt it plus i'll only believe it when it's signed over.

We've resigned Tomas Brolin?

Brolin, that would be big news, who ate all the pies............

New pie suppliers?

Yes the big news is there is a new bated burger in the bar

Im so excited I cant contain myself....whooopeee do. Can I go back to sleep now ?

It's either Uncle Ken walking on to the pitch at half time with a pen in one hand and the contract in the other. Signs and walks off to rapturous applause or NW waving goodbye because he's sick to death of being lied to and undermined by Uncle Ken.

I know which scenario I would prefer to see.

docsmith

This has come from ER, they just want to sell more tickets fro tonight's game .. there is no good news, we have no money and the board have no vision

It's rumoured that Leeds and leicester are after kenwyne jones! Let Leicester have jones and we take beckford off their hands, because let's face it if Leicester are after jones, beckford is slipping even further down the pecking order! Bring the lad home!
What shirt am I wearing bruv.... The wrong one!
Beckford home....bates out...

Sussex White!

You have got to b joking, let leicester have the prem quality player n we get beckford back omg check your head out m8. jones is 5 times the player that beckford is. jeeze glad u aint in charge of transfers lol

Jones is better than Beckford. Leave him where he is, he left for the money in the first place. Jones would be a top signing

Well said Sussex white. Much prefer JB !

Sussex white why you writing back to your own comment lol

We dont need mr i can head and hold up the ball adeqautely cos im big, we have becchio for that. What we need is the speedy beckford/sordell/maynard type who can run on and take advantage on the balls that becchio wins basically we need pace nit power,as well as the natural goalscoring instinct

Wind your neck in fella, hardly write back to my own post! Ed could clarify this! Is it that unbelievable that people other than me want beckford back? The amount that he did for our club only deserves respect! The goal against utd will always be my top highlight! {Ed013's Note - I think he was joking mate}

You forget that goal v united was all down to i think it was howson with that gr8 ball, all beckford did was get on the end of it. kenwyne jones can do alot more than head n hold it up, he aint been playing in the prem for god knows how long just for his height, hes got gr8 power that beckford aint n he offers far more than beckford would, so with respect i think its time you took alook at there records n then you would see jones is 5 times better than beckford who ppl seem to forget was gr8 in league 1 for us n since hes moved up hes not been anywhere near as good

Maybe Jones would rather come to a club where he knows he'll be first choice every game?

Radio Leeds have just announced if the club isn't sold, then Leeds will be in meltdown and heading for league 1 .. bates will fxck our club up and enjoy doing it.... thre are no new players in and no loan signings, we are skint, KB has had the lot, .. .. we have to force his hand, stay away from EVERTON GAME ..... it's on Sky so you won't miss it !

This is not a rumour this has come from radio Leeds and also from within ER ! . . . . 100%

Vote With Your Feet ... Bates Out !

You really are wrong if you actually think the real leeds fans will stay away as leeds could b in league 2 and id still b there supporting them as that my friend is what real fans do.

Radio Leeds IF the club aint sold the clue is in the sentence (IF).But rumour has it we have been sold.

If the club aint sold 99% of fans will still b there for leeds just the 1% that will do a pointless protest, shame on you. leeds dnt need your support if thats what u plan to do

I would take anything radio Leeds say regarding Bates with a pinch of salt. There has been no love lost between them for a long time

Nothing like this was mentioned when i listened to the 10am news

You are no less a leeds fan for staying away you just have more common sence. BATES JUST GO YOU ARE TEARING THIS CLUB APART

"if the club isn't sold, then Leeds will be in meltdown and heading for league 1" . That one really made me laugh.

How on earth can you possibly draw that conclusion. What an utterly ridiculous statement.

Oh, the things people come up with...

18 Sep 2012 01:32:22
Daily paper (pinch of salt) is linking Leeds and Leicester to a loan signing of Kenwyne Jones.
