The same fans who want Bates spend money and go into debt to watch Premiership football are probably the same ones cheering Ridsdale & co. Look what happened then. Being backed by Russians, Saudis or Indians is fine if you are prepared to be just bit parts in some millionaire/ billionaire's fantasy league/ hobby. I don't envy Man. City or Chelsea fans at all. At least at Leeds there are still some players/ management who care about the club and have some history with it. Dont think you can say that about the premiership - with maybe a few exceptions.
