ignoring the personal data issue. What does Bates say that is wrong? 1. He is saying that without a Sugar Daddy a club has to live within its means - ie not spend more than it has. Remember that most transfer fees are paid over a number of years and are subject to Tax.
2. If you have a Sugar Daddy you are reliant on their good will and if they pop their clogs u are almost certainly in deep shit as Forest are finding out. I am afraid he is right, Football finances are going to hit the fan very soon and a lot of clubs are going to go bust. I'd prefer if Leeds weren't one of them. I also don't want to be owned by a Russian Gangster or Middle eastern dictator. Bates is Evil and a Bastard but I am afraid unless he is lying about the publicly available figures he is right. Its players and agents who are to blame for where we are, a) by demanding stupid money and b) for not matching their wages with their commitment. I really would prefer Bates to Ridsdale. ttfn R _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email [email protected] PETE CASS (1962 - 2011) Rest In Peace Mate
