In The National today which is an UAE newspaper it says Although a deal was agreed with Ken Bates to purchase his majority shareholding, the group failed to meet the payment terms by the July handover date and now seem unlikely to complete. That is not positive. Check it on line at the papers website

Your sister-in-law cant be anything to look at then if your bro spends more time reading and scanning the UAE newspapers on his honeymoon and have time to report to you about it.

Its true, Santiano Ezel Brazagi, 15 yrs of age, is coming to Leeds, but only on youth terms, definitely one to watch though, stacks of potential.
Agree0

Must have been some phone call to receive all this information about the kids background , burst into the first team in January and he's playing for u15's ? Do us all a favour and disappear back onto your own teams site
Agree0

It's true boys. My son is in u17's and apparently all the coaches are talking about him. They've pulled off a stormer.
Agree0

Might be true. U14s were training tonight. Also budget been released for new astro at TA after long wait. Maybe investment arriving?

takeover consortium are getting very short on patience and are prepared to finalise whatever the outcome. personally think it wil be kenbates in charge for the forseable future. we are in trouble

Ya with ya on that one. i think they walked away ages ago. now at pompey ha
Agree0
Disagree0
I personally think that its gone on too long for them to walk away now.
It seems they're both as stubborn as each other in getting what they both want.
Bates must want out otherwise we wouldn't be in the predicament & consortium want us.
My guess is one must give eventually, the consortium to give KEN THE MASTER-BATES near enough what he wants to start with the rebuild.

How many times has this been, and going to be posted, yet still the alleged takeover rolls on. You need to be more specific in future and try and name a RELIABLE info source

To the first reply if they are now interested in Portsmouth they can't be leeds fans so good ridense to em if that is the case
Agree0
Disagree0
To last poster ok its wednesday now expect to hear something friday after more specuation tomorrow . my guess is they wil give up becaus ebates wont sign indemnity clause. they cant buy into a company when they are not sure about all the facts. but like i said friday will probably be the day definately before weekend

Ex-Everton starlet Jose Baxter looking for a club, broke also dt's of club and international youth goal scoring records. Has turned down offer at Everton to find first team football. Could be a cheap option (assuming compensation can be agreed?) and a club like Leeds and a manager like Neil Warnock could be just what he needs to find that early form? We need some numbers in the ranks!
Robbie.
Believable25
Unbelievable7
He has been released by Everton and has no club, so there would be no compensation. He was at Tranmere last year on loan and didn't really set the World alight, but in our situation we don't have a lot of choice
Agree0
Disagree0
Wasn't sure that even though he refused a contract whether Everton would be eligible for compensation. Yeah agree he didn't set the world alight at Tranmere but neither did Livermore at us, then he gets a call up for England... WTF is that all about!! But anyway I digress. Maybe a strong Manager like Neil can shape him the way he did taarbat?

Nothing will happen tomorrow but friday the 14th will be the day its all anounced. my guess is it will be that they have walked having gotten fed up with bates' demands and constant changes to the deal. at least it wont be friday the 13th so u never no maybe some good news . MOT LLHB

How on earth can a takeover be 95% off. Stop making things up, you know nothing. I believe we will hear something by the end of the week, there so many rumours flying about something must be happening

If KB is not selling "Leeds United" then its off completely? 95% is saying he doesn't want to sell but if they offer a stupid amount then he will.

Haha love this.. 95% great figure..

95%off ha ha what a plum!

WARNOCK was slected by KB as manager with no special tie ins or to please any potential investor. WARNOCK is KB man. So why would he walk you complete person. If this is your valid idea of a working commitment may I suggest you leave the 'car wash' your working in and go back to college to learn a little more. Equally I found the frontline in Afghan a rather good reality check on life...... 'Check it out bud'

Done by end of week!! us fans the only ones been done. players in by end of week how many weeks that been said all rubbish . not going to happen.

Leeds boss Neil Warnock is snapping up Michael Tonge on loan
Believable48
Unbelievable9
Don't believe you... you're just making it up, he's after someone much better, someone who hasn't played under him before, plays in a white shirt in his club's home games and has made a number of appearances for his country ... you can probably find him mentioned somewhere on this site.
JDC
Agree0
Disagree0
To be fair he is looking at Tonge too he has said himself he has looked at a couple and it is widely reported now that he is looking for Tonge so before you say the OP is making it up have a look on the news about the team not just pure rumours.
Agree0
Disagree0
Warnock is after 2 midfielders and has put several names forward to bates so obviously we will end up with the cheapest or the best posible saving we can get as bates still thinks we should pay 1990's wages to players
Agree0
Disagree0
Of all the names linked to us i have to say that michael tonge has got to be the worst by a mile , he has somehow managed to pass himself off as a proffessional footballer god knows how he is so so poor its untrue and will bring absolutely nothing to our team or squad please let this rumour be false
Agree0

Could be good for us at least warnock knows how he plays and were so short of midfielders.

Takeover off. Warnock preparing to walk. Has told KB to search for new manager but such is NW's professionalism and regard for fans he is only going to walk when the fixture list eases off so not to leave a good side climbing the division in the lurch. Looks like we got Colin til the next international break then. Bates is a disgrace but gets to leave the club on brink of a shambles. Not right.
Believable30
Unbelievable65
Where is your proof pal? Yeah it's dragging on and were all getting frustrated with lack of info(confidentiality clause) and crap being reported in various news outlets in Dubai. Yet nothing on OS and most reports are people's opinion, so till its all dusted or officially announced as over we still live in hope that Bates will be leving us soon
Agree0
Disagree0
What a load of nonsense. I may not know much about Bates, but if he was faced with a manager who wanted out, he'd tell him to walk, then take great pleasure in calling him to the press.
He's certianly not the kind of person who'd go "Oh yeah, neil, It's kind of bad timing, do you think you could hang around for a few weeks, then go" is he?!
If he was going to walk, he'd've done it by now. He came in for a reason, he's trying to achieve his goal, and he has no doubt made promises to the players he brought in, and those he persuaded to stay. He's not going anywhere unless new owners come in and don't want him, or Bates decides it's not working.
Agree0
Disagree0
Original poster is correct, if you read the last two words.
This IS 'not right', in fact its a total load of garbage........
Agree0

To 2nd replier. KB does have a vested interest in NW staying on as long as possible - to avoid a fans revolt for one!! You think he doesn't know the mood of fans? Why you think it's reported NW never signed his contract? You forget the different dynamic between Ken Chairman and NW manager. NW asked for buying power but didn't receive it!! Assurances were not adhered to. NW is merely being a gent by continuing at this point. To first replier this is why there are leaks in the media in Dubai now. It is a breach of confidentiality but Bates ain't gonna sue coz he knows he's behaved badly and the consortium would rather use the Dubai media as channel to communicate to fans than keep quiet and sue for due diligence costs coz Ken changed the deal. As I understand the consortium want to proceed regardless but their lawyers simply won't do the deal with pre-historic Bates because they'd be too exposed to law suit and insurance difficulties themselves. In short Bates has made the takeover impossible.
Agree0
Disagree0
If we were to believe you non Leeds fans for posting this rubbish the takeover was called off (100% definite) weeks ago ! How many people said it was going to be called off last Thursday ? Lots ! The facts are that anyone "in the know" certainly isn`t going to leak any information out to the muppets who continually knock our club. Just like Bates - support the club or get out of the club ! It really is that simple !
