Wasn't Stubbs a professed Leeds fan? I am not making things up to suit myself, anything I post on here is either what I believe to be fact (e&oe) or speculation based on what I believe.
The context of the discussion was ( I thought) Krasner preferring to deal with Stubbs but then deciding not to at the 11th hour because he pushed too much. A logical (in my head) conclusion to the question 'why did they prefer Stubbs' was that he was a Leeds fan and therefore the club would be in better hands than with someone like Bates. A further logical step was that Stubbs knew this and thats why he was thought he could push for a better deal, not believing they would sell to Bates. Which was either naivety on his part, or a bluff which was called. So, after explaining how I came to my conclusions/opinions, which are most likely wrong but nevertheless the ones I came to, and as LUST (now) appreciate NDAs are par for the course in business (I am also assuming you have something to do with LUST here), my point is why didn't LUST want to sign the NDA and thereby rule themselves out of the bidding, if they were ever a serious option and weren't using the process as an excuse to dig up more information and basically waste Bates/KPMG's expensive time? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of vanillafudge LUFC Sent: 31 May 2007 12:50 To: leedslist Subject: Re: [LU] Divine Knowledge ----- Original Message ----- > We were told that the reason Krasner & his lot didn't sell to Stubbs was > because he overplayed the 'Im a leeds fan' role and that therefore > entitled > him to squeeze more and more out of the deal. errr, no.

No. Secondly, the Trust has never claimed that it represents the fans. The Trust has no mandate to do that. The Trust does its level best to represent the fans best interests but even that is treading a fine line. Signing a NDA is par for the course in business negotiations. Yes and your point is what ? _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
