So What Does Ken Bates Know?

Tue May 03, 2011 4:36 pm

A few weeks ago Richard Scudemore CEO PL told the football governance enquiry that Leeds Utd would have to clarify exactly who owns Leeds Utd to have any chance of being accepted as a member of the PL.

Right now Leeds Utd have to win away at QPR and Forest lose at Palace as well as turning over a goal difference of +6 against Forest. But still today Papa Smurf has decided to make public he is now the sole owner of Leeds Utd FC - Why?

With at best an outside chance of making the playoffs is Ken aware of something everyone else is only speculating about. Ken Bates is a man with good connections if the world of football better than most I would say.

Could todays announcement on the ownership of Leeds Utd indicate he knows QPR won't even be in the top 6 of this division come Friday morning.

Ken Bates, now that is one person I would not trust at all. For me in the same bracket as Paladini. This is the bloke who wanted to put up electric fences at Chelsea, which actually on the face of it was quite a good idea! :twisted:

U r a very wise man Castle. I never spotted that one. So, only Jacks to worry about now then. Bates is the wiliest of wily old birds.
