By Keith Ingham So we have the real reason Ken Bates was asked to leave his position as club president or in another way sacked by GFH, he apparently tied the club to a contract costing around £500,000 to fly him backwards and forwards from his Monaco villa.
It must be really nice to be able to spend the money me and other fans put into the club on an annual basis. We've had a long line of his 'personal' ways of getting money, though he swears he never took a penny out during his eight and a half years at the club. Court cases, club season ticket monies for the next few seasons to pay for the redeveloping of the East Stand while the team on the pitch was decimated, there will be more but a clever man covers his tracks. I never saw him as a saviour he just seemed to be a bully and with this last (hopefully) mention of his name I really do hope that he leaves the club alone and stays in his villa with his Mrs. The trouble with Ken is you never quite know his next move ! The Chelsea's finally gone from Leeds. On On On

Kenneth William Bates is an odious man. The only person he has any time for is himself and the only thing that concerns him is his bank balance. He used LUFC as a tool to do just that and I am very pleased to see the back of him.

£500k that could be put into the non existent transfer kitty.

Still can't see any other type of man that could have , bullied , manipulaed and been so bloody minded to push the club out of being 30 million in debt , yes he obviuosly had his own agenda but business is business to the kens of this world ,, so for stepping in and turning the club around he does deserve some recognition , after that unfortunatley we just saw a greedy old man , a game of two halves !!!!

It's fans like you that kept him at the club. How anyone could trust this man is beyond me. He did not save Leeds, He did some neat card tricks and a couple of dodgey shuffles, I will give you that.

Court case or not but we needed to get rid of KB for sure. It is matter of small prints in the buying contract (for GFHC) that can build this legal case. Hopefully their lawyers has been worth for the money. Otherwise it would be just nice to concentrate to the Whites football at last.
