Leeds in takeover talks?


By Andy Baggott
May 29 2012

The rumours of a takeover/investment are true!  After a few days of speculation, Leeds have released a statement confirming that they are in talks about ‘long term investment’ – this would explain the recent lack of transfer activity and the radio silence from Chairman Ken Bates.

The majority of fans would certainly prefer a takeover rather than investment, but at the moment, there are no further details as to who the interested parties are.  The Leeds United Supporters Trust (LUST) have been working hard to attract investment, and it is through them that the investors are believed to have been attracted.  There is much speculation about the names in the frame, but as yet, there is no confirmation.

 

This is going to make for a very interesting week or two as the future of the club could be about to change – hopefully for the better at last…

Personally I reckon it is a ruse created by our leader Fids to increase activity on this board.

He is in the middle of negotiating a new ad deal and increased hits to this site will up the bidding.

Very clever guy is our Richard!

It's been more than three weeks. This take-over thing is starting to ruin the whole 2012-13 season in terms of not getting the right players in time.

Starts reminding me of the perfect timing when NW arrived the day or the day before the transfer window closed...
