Use our rumours form to send us leeds transfer rumours.

11 Oct 2012 22:17:29
Even if there has been contact between GFH and Lust they have still lied. Lets not forget they were on the radio months ago telling us the deal is almost done building everybody's hopes up. They claim to have had a hand in Leeds finding an investor and again its lies. I have no time for them and have never had. Leeds will do better without them.

Believable14 Unbelievable11

They never lied, they told you what they knew at that time. Which was leeds was about to be taken over but all this changed when the original buyers pulled out. Probably down to Bates and his 101 companys, is a nuff to scare off anyone. So don't be so quick to judge your fellow fans. When the real criminal here is Bates and always as been.

2nd post - that was true, who were these 'original investors'?

Agree0 Disagree0

Original investors were Chicago based - not sure who.

Agree0 Disagree0

No the original ones granted due dilligence we GFH they were spotted at Elland Road for the Wolves game? Lust have come out with a few statements since that game saying they have a contact from that side of the takeover. They have been wrong numerous times.. If a person came on here saying some of the stuff they have you would slate them yet cause it is Lust some people seem to think they are all knowing.

Lets start a New online support group.LUST,Let Us Standby Takeover.only true posts or near as. and give KB and GHF all the support we can give them by being committed to the Takeover.

Believable7 Unbelievable5

KB support?! Whilst im at it perhaps ill write him a letter of thanks for;taking us into administration,..swindling us and the tax-payer to the tune of millions...buying us back, proberbly illegally from KPMG when there were better bids on table...assett stripping ( re ER and TA,which he proberby owns anyway and takes rent for)...fleecing all of us for the best part of a decade for dross on the field...selling all our prized assets for a fraction of their true worth,MG,BJ,JH,RS...calling us all morons...dragging the name of lufc through the gutter time and time again...spending club money on pointless 'vanity' court-cases...wasting money on a ground lufc doesnt own...

Dear Ken,

**** OFF.

Yours Sincerely,

He HAD to put us into admin, it cleared out debts, it turned out to be a smart move, how could he sell them for the full price when they were either expiring, or in the last year of the contract, that usually slashes the price

Two friendless men in a dingy bedsit saying i'll vote for you if you vote for me is hardly a full board re-election. Come on we all know LUST are just a couple of sad acts with a computer and more time than is good for them.

PEOPLE... just cos we've had a good run of form, doesnt mean to say that Bates is OK. We've been lucky and performed beyond expectations. It could all fall to pieces within a couple of results. HE STILL AINT PROVIDED ANY FUNDING.

Believable14 Unbelievable1

Dint realise anyone thought bates was ok still
I hate him but ill support the team forever more
These wish lists for players make me laugh we all demand loyalty from our players then we think we're getting a few quid so we want to ditch all the lads that are battling away before the takeover
Loyalty works both ways
Russ

Agree12 Disagree1

The lads are doing great and so is ol' Colin...he's always said he wants his few icings or cherries maybe he might bring those in and we can have a deeper squad...not much has to change at all though....if it ain't broke don't fix it

Agree2 Disagree0

Second poster has hit the nail on the head where is the loyalty when players dont play well for us and we send them on loan/sell them cause we dont think they are good enough.

I was looking at news now and read a post about how the penalty in the Leeds v Barnsley match shouldn't have been. It says that 'Barnsley fans have been keyboard bashing ever since the ref pointed to the spot'.
I'm shocked that it has been nearly a week and they still haven't gotten over it. We and many other clubs have had decisions like that against us for ages, but we get over it in a couple of days. It's football. Plus it should have been a pen for a hand ball later on!

Think they'll get relegated Any way!

Believable10 Unbelievable0

Its funny they never mention the penalty we should have had for handball 10 minutes or so earlier.....

It's not Leeds rumours but if Eddie Howe leaves Burnley and goes to Bournemouth maybe Owen Coyle could go back to Burnley? I have all the time in the world for Owen Coyle - he was magic when Fabrice Muamba was so ill.

need a verdict on this, went on the LUST forum, some lad on htere was getting abuse because he brought up a fairly reasonably argument so they asked him to back up his evidence, so i stepped in and brought up 3 things that had been done by LUST, and my comments were removed because itt was branded a 'personal attack', when all i did was prove them wrong, so youre telling me that LUST speak for the fans? i dont think so

oh btw anybody know how to get in touch with Bates, feel like sending him a letter, need a way to go about this, does he have a way of being addressed through the club?

Believable8 Unbelievable2

Didn't they appoint a supporters liaison officer a couple of mounths back, I remember it being a exciting signing. I'm sure any messages (except abusive ones) would be passed on to him.

Agree2 Disagree0

Same thing happened to me mate. Made a few reasonable comments and got deleted. They like to censor their critics, at least Bates argued with his and didn't hide away

LUST are going to scare off all buyers of the club.
They may think they are helping get rid of Bates.
But they come across as being a burden to any potential buyer.
Just keep quiet and let things happen, eventually things will change, until then I'm supporting Leeds wholeheartedly. Not boycotting or moaning. Just giving my support to Warnock and they boys.
Luke MOT

Believable14 Unbelievable7

They never said they wanted rid of Bates. They said they wanted Bates to show the same ambition on the squad as the fans. Instead of pumping money into the stands. You really need to read things before commenting.

I need to put an end to all this crap – LUST have been the main organisation that represents LUFC supporters that Bates doesn't control, throughout the Bates era and he hates them for it. They are far from perfect and do get things wrong sometimes. They have genuinely tried to keep people informed about the takeover at a time when there has been a dearth of information.

What they have said has had no effect on the takeover negotiations; what exactly have they said that could possibly have had any effect?

We all want rid of Bates but he's got us bickering amongst ourselves with a comment here, a comment there, and the odd very carefully worded statement thrown in for good measure. God, is he having a good laugh at our expense. The latest statement is VERY carefully worded and I suggest people read it and reread it before they make any more stupid, rash comments.

I'm not saying everyone should like LUST and join them but I am asking people to remember who the real villain is and stop allowing him to manipulate you. He's very good at doing just that and you all need to stop letting him.

Believable21 Unbelievable22

The thngs they have said have been after they are in the public anyway, all they have continuosly said is that things are progressing, not actual news when everyone knows it. they dont have our interests cos if they did they would step back and wait like the rest of the fans, what right do they have having there say when its business at the end of the day

Agree8 Disagree4

"LUST have been the main organisation that represents LUFC supporters that Bates doesn't control"

Since WHEN have LUST represented me?

I have been a Leeds United supporter for well over 40 years and have never had anything to do with LUST whatsoever, nor does 'Bates' control ME any more than Revie, Clough, Wilkinson, or Grayson, etc, have ever controlled me.

I have a mind of my own, unlike LUST who 'claim' to represent me and others like me.

If you actually take the number of Leeds United supporters who regularly go to games (even without those who don't) you will find the membership of LUST doesn't represent anywhere near the number of people you claim that they do?

LUST need to put up or (preferably) shut up and stop sticking their nose in things that don't concern you?

You didn't find these buyers?

You don't have the money to buy Leeds Out?

So S*D OFF and let those that do, make it happen - it's nothing to do with you!

Leeds4alongtime!

Agree11 Disagree7

I dont like bates and i dont rate lust its a private sale nowt to do with us the fans let them do it without any outside interfearance thats what i say

Agree3 Disagree4

Dont pick on the Bates lovers, they love how he is leaching our money,selling our best players and taking us backwards.
Hail Pi*sy pants the savior of Leeds United.

Agree6 Disagree6

I'm the guy that wrote the original post, above. I am not a member of LUST and don't speak for them; I'm just defending them from what I regard as unjustified attacks and am also trying to get fans to actual read what the club say and apply some common sense to their statements.

As for the guy who thinks the sale is 'nowt to do with us the fans' - my father took me to my first game in the late '50s early '60s, I don't remember exactly as I was too young (he used to drive the football specials). I took my son to his first match when he was 6 and we are both season ticket holders in the Cop. This club is in my blood - nothing to do with me? It's EVERYTHING to do with me.

Agree3 Disagree4

Hi, when you speak, please know you you speak for yourself, there are some out here who do not want "rid of Bates."
If you do not not like the man, then fine, have your opinion, but here is a newsflash, just in, there are people out there who may have a different view to yours.
I do not know who you are, but I am going out on a limb here, you speak for every Leeds supporter? (we all...).
Please exclude me.
As hard as a pill it may be to swallow, no Bates, no Leeds.
ipso facto

Agree3 Disagree5

I never said they represent ALL supporters and your comment proves my point - people don't read what is actually said and jump to what are often, the wrong conclusions.

Agree0 Disagree0

I stand corrected - OK I was wrong to say we all want rid of Bates. I should have said most of us want rid of Bates - like LUSTs my posts aren't perfect. But 'no Bates, no Leeds', I disagree.

Agree3 Disagree0

11 Oct 2012 17:51:39
Not only all that but it seems Haigh hasn't had the b@lls to reply to LUST now that he's been proved a liar over his statement. Seems that LUST has absolute proof of the communications between GFH's PR company and themselves since when Haigh has gone mysteriously quiet on the subject.

Is Haigh just another Bates? Do they actually have the money to complete this takeover? Why has it taken so much longer than other takeovers seem to have?

Are we jumping out of the frying pan into the fire with Haigh and GFH? I'm beginning to suspect we are.

Agree0 Disagree3

Don't want Bates to go, IPSO FACTO. Is this a joke or something. We might of had a good team last season and the one before, if it wasn't for Bates. We've probably only got a good team now because of the manager and the fact Bates is nashing, WHAT A COINCIDENCE!
RM4LIFE

Agree0 Disagree0

More likely that Haigh has got better things to do Like errrm sorting out a takeover rather than wasting his time responding to Lusts so called proof. If they have it name names if not they should crawl back under the stone they came from.

11 Oct 2012 09:38:00
I tweeted lust,prior to there impending takeover statement to tell them no need don't rock the boat etc,the end is in sight now let it run its course,what do they do!yes go for a final piece of fame and now look very silly,I'm sure they have lufc interests at heart but saying we cautiously back ghf isn't a good start to a healthy relationship,I think lust are a bunch of fans who feel they are far more important than they actually are,they can give the new potential owners there views but will never have a voice that can make decisions because they won't get on the board of directors,well Gary cooper your plan for that has just gone up in smoke..
Kella74

Believable13 Unbelievable5

As leeds fans we should all be cautious about who ever the new owners are as we dont really have a clue what there real intentions are. they might just be buying leeds united get us promoted get the moneys for reaching prem league spend up to half and stay for a further season and walk with about 90 mill profit even if we go back down to championship

The language of LUST is articulate and professional unlike Bates who speaks like a street teenager. Comparing statements from both over the last 4 months, I'd take what they say over Bates any day.
By his definition, I am a person just because I am a member of LUST. How juvenile. He's marginalised us, the police, HMRC, Leeds City Council and various other key stakeholders. Not a clever chap.

Instead of referring to lust as "They" why not be honest and say we.
