WTF is Bates up to now?
-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Leeds United Supporters Trust - Gary Cooper Date: Tue, 18 Dec 2012 19:52:20 +0000 From: Leeds United Supporters Trust <[email protected]> *LUST Statement: Gary Cooper* Leeds United Supporters' Trust has been contacted by a journalist from a national newspaper who intends to run a story concerning the personal life of our Chairman, Gary Cooper. Gary would like to say the following to all shareholders and members of the Trust: "The story the paper intends to print concerns the fact that my brother is currently serving a prison sentence for cannabis cultivation. Following his arrest in 2009, my family and I set up a business for my brother in order to take him away from the place and people who had led him into trouble. My brother was convicted in December 2010 and, as the business was unable to operate without him, it was placed into liquidation in March 2011. This resulted in a default on a business loan, from which a charge was placed on my own home. As a result, in October this year, my house was repossessed. "These matters concern only me and my family and are very private, and I do not feel they are of public interest or understand what anyone has to gain from them being printed in a national newspaper. "As far as I am concerned these events are separate from my role as Chairman of Leeds United Supporters' Trust. However, I understand that this story will have a negative impact on the Trust and call my role. Therefore, I would like to ask our shareholders and members to declare if they still have confidence in my ability to continue as their Chairman." As Gary has requested, and in line with our constitution as set by Supporters Direct, we are asking all LUST shareholders and members to vote on the following question: Do you want Gary Cooper to continue as Chairman of Leeds United Supporters' Trust? _______________________________________________ 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
