GFH have no money, they want us to invest now and are hoping for somebody to bring some money in the club in the form of investment, I think we have another season of uncertainty in front of us with loans players and news lads coming through the academy. why did GFH buy us, if they weren't going to invest, all that rubbish the told us when they took over, do they think we have forgotten. I have made the decision to stay away next year, even at the new lower prices, oi have had a belly full of disappointed and feel more investment and lot more transparency should come our way, they should come out at tell us what their plans are with our football club.
1.) Smart choice. Said all along they got no money and no-one will want to invest with them! First they know very little about football. Second if you want to invest 30 per cent you will really want control too as in 51 per cent. We are set to stagnate until bought out again. Only saving grace for GFH is they are not Bates with high ticket prices and silly vanity projects. That said, at the moment, on current form, I think we could get relegated next season.
2.) Are you sure they are not bates. Have gfh bought th club to sell as requested by mr bates as nobody would deal due o his normal business dealings. Ok he may be a good business man, but he has annoyed a lot of olks over the years, and maybe everyone has said no dealings with him, and ha is why he will be mr president next year.
3.) Well said mate, I am also getting sick of all the BS we are fed, I have a 3 year old boy and I really can't put him through all this shti, when will it end, they are loosing the next generation of fans and something needs to happen and soon.

I've already posted on this site (went on banter for some reason!) that I heard that bates owns about 20% of LUFC as Leeds Holdings as he got shares in handover transaction. GFH only paid about 17 mill for Leeds Holdings so far and bates 'mates' still have control of ER and TA. that's why when GFH parent company spoke about selling Leeds Holdings they said they were looking to sell their stake in Leeds Holdings and did NOT just say sell Leeds Holdings as they would if they owned all of LUFC.
New owner with dosh and Leeds at heart.
5.) Oh yeah, that's the way. let's all boycott the games,,, and write next season off as relegation already. I am absolutely sick of Glass half empty people. I assume you want Uncle Ken back, just so you can wallow in your own misery. GFH might not be Billionaires, but THEY were the ones that ultimately shafted Bates, and were prepared to deal with him when other so-called investors wouldn't, reduced ticket prices, reduced season ticket prices, and are talking to the fans. In fact everything that Bates wouldn't do.
Wonder how many games you would boycott if we win the first 6 on the Bounce at the start of nest season. ?
I would suggest you, like the other 20k fair weather fans would be falling over themselves to follow the whites irrespective WHO was in charge, bragging that they were there when we finally got back to the Premiership.
6.) Fickle, fickle, fickle. To ANY young fan, it's not about the politics, it's not even about who the owner is. or how much money he does, or doesn't have.
it's about seeing the stadium, it's about going to the match with your father, it's about seeing the pitch for the first time, and hearing the songs, the chants and listening to the roar of the crowd.
Oh yeah, let's all bitch that our owners are not wealthy enough, or Mr Bates was a Bad Man. It's not Bates OR GFH that's alienating our next generation of fans. It's the so-called stayaways who brainwash their kids to believe everything to do with LUFC lacks ambition, and financial mis-management. And you will wonder why they become Poodles fans!

they don't need to have money they own the club.
if they sell 51% of leeds united for say 15 mil then gfh will have 15 mil to spend on players then who ever buys the 51% will put over 15 mil in aswell giving us over 30 mil to spend on players.
8.) I agree with the originally poster, but you forgot to say that the owners will sell our best players come the summer to get some cash back Byram, Lees and McCormack all likely to be sold
9.) Never happy unless there's instant change typical Leeds fans they are buisness men they will invest but will also want a return wait till summer see what happens we not good enough to go up yet and its too late in season to change that now
10.) Im thinking we have been ripped off for years with of shore bank accounts and doggy owner ken bates and all the people before him if you lot wanna keep pumping money in to cheets and crooks good luck to you all but I woke up a couple of years ago and smelt the coffee no more of my hard urned money to doggy owner shame but that's the way it is gazza
11.) DFS are capital investers mate. Think of Richard Gere in the film pretty woman, might help you to get the idea. White whale
12.) Gfh capital buy companies in trouble and get them to a point where others are intersted then sell for a tidy profit they will spend as little as possible and are not in for the long haul
13.) Ageed. white whale. {Ed013's Note - Mate you can register as white whale so when you log in all your posts are submitted as you}
